Wuv. Twu wuv.

My husband is awesome. I don't mean to brag, but he just is. So many women I know have lousy husbands. Husbands who are lazy. Husbands who don't love and respect them. Husbands who don't protect them. Husbands who don't provide for them or their families.

My husband is not this husband, and praise God for that. Jake is the best husband there is, in my not so humble opinion. He's a hard worker. He loves me with everything he has and makes sure I know it every day. He respects my opinions and listens to me (unless he's listening to sports radio. Then I have to work a little harder to get his attention.) Jake is my protector, even from myself. He makes sure I don't over extend myself, which I'm so notorious for doing. He is an awesome provider as well.

It's been a year this week since we started our own business. People said we were crazy. We thought we were crazy. But God had clearly told us that it was right, so we jumped in head first. I never once have thought it was a bad idea. He has always assured me that I'd be taken care of. He promised that if push came to shove he'd find other work. Manual labor if he had to. We haven't been in a place where that has been needed, but I know that he would without a second thought.

Anyways, I've read that to write a good blog, a blog that people want to read, you should write about what is relevant to you. Today, this is what is relevant to me. Watching my handsome husband head out of the house for a meeting this morning made my heart skip a beat. Of course he made sure I had a roaring fire in the fireplace first, and if it had snowed more than an inch last night he would have made sure the driveway was clear and my car was cleaned off.

I heart that man.

New Beginnings

So it's been...a long time since my last post. I just read through them all again. I crack my self up. I sound so different 3 years ago. Even in my last few posts that are closer to a year and a half behind me, it doesn't feel like I'm reading something that I wrote, and I've even found myself embarrassed by some of it. I came this close --> [ ] to deleting all of it and just starting fresh. I decided not to delete anything because (hopefully) it will show progress and growth as a human, wife, and follower of Christ. So, if you choose to read what I've written in the past, just don't hold it against me. Pretty please?

Anyways, I think I'm going to hop back on the blogging band wagon. I'm following a bunch of blogs now, so maybe that will help inspire me.
