gratitude

Since this is the month where we celebrate the things we are THANKFUL for, I decided to start a new format for my Sunday posts.

Each week on Sunday I will write about the things I am thankful for.

To start off I must write about my immense gratitude for Stick.

• He is a hard worker. He works really long hours, I would estimate he averages about 60 hours a week at work, every week. Despite this fact, rarely a week goes by that he doesn't ask me on Saturday if there is some kind of "job" that I need him to do around the house.
• He does a good job at keeping me up to speed on what "is and isn't" considered normal for little boys. I need help in this area often, since in case you didn't know it, I was never a little boy and their antics baffle me constantly.
• He dotes on me! I have to be careful at times because I know he would buy me anything my little heart desires. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing....
• He has a strong testimony. Despite the long hours at work, he also puts in long hours at church.
• He's an amazing example for our kids.
• He's constantly looking for ways to improve himself. He's always setting goals and never settles for status quo.
• After 12.5 years of marriage he still makes me laugh every day.

I could go on and on, but I'll save the rest for another day!
