This {Thanksgiving} week, focus on your favorite thing about your husband (or your family). Instead of dwelling on the things you don't like about your hubby, appreciate what he does well. If you are a blogger, write a post about your favorite thing about him. Show it to him; he'll love it!
My favorite thing about Brian, my future-husband, is that he is simply amazing in everything he does, and he wants to dedicate his life to me. I am so proud of the man he has become in the past 6+ years we've been together. 7 years ago, he was dating another girl in our high school, he called me annoying, and I loathed him. HAHA! I'm still annoying as ever, but he's embraced it so well.
He has grown into an incredible man. His work ethic is impeccable. He supports not only himself, but me as well. I get to be at home all day long. Most of the time I spend it watching DVR'd shows. I have a hard time cleaning, and keeping a clean home. Brian knows this, and I'm sure it drives him crazy. It drives me crazy that I can't motivate myself enough to clean the dishes, or keep the house tidy, or keep up with the laundry. I get overwhelmed and I shut down and I ignore the dishes, and the laundry. I'm sure sometimes he thinks I'm worthless, and so do I. However, Brian seems to overlook my flaws, and pushes and motivates me to do my best on a day-to-day basis. I often feel guilty, knowing that Brian is working his tail off to support our life, while I stay at home, enjoying my day with no schedule. The truth is, I feel guilty, but at the same time, I enjoy it. I don't want to have to work, and when we start having kids, I want to be a stay at home mom. I love being a homemaker, and even though I may not do the best job of keeping our home perfect, I enjoy being able to keep our house ours. If I was working, our house would probably be much more worse off. I probably wouldn't cook the meals that I do like homeade chili, roast, and I probably would not look forward to cooking Thanksgiving dinner (which I can't wait to start)!
His love for life and me is breathtaking, his smile is beautiful. Brian works hard in everything that he does, including loving me. He is so appreciative of life and of people. One thing that Brian doesn't have to work at very hard, is making me happy. He thinks that I am a bit complicated, which at times, I admit I am. However, just having him in my life, makes me happy. I try my best not to get frustrated that he's gone a good 24 out of the 30 days in each month. I never take a moment of our time for granted. I wish our time together could last more than it usually does. Even when he is gone, he makes me happy. When I see a picture of him, I can't help but smile.
Now, don't think that he doesn't frustrate or annoy me, because he does. But most of the time, its extremely hard to be too upset or frustrated at him, because he loves to make me laugh. My laugh is contagious, and I think that's why he loves it. Because he knows that when I laugh, I am truely happy and I am truely myself. He may not know it, but I love seeing his smile too!
My favorite thing about Brian is that he wants to marry me.
(look at that amazing smile, he's so handsome!)
He wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He has the passion to grow in our relationship, and he has the passion to have a family in the future. He loves me unconditionally, and I am so very thankful that he does. I am even more thankful that I love him as much as I do. I seriously could write a novel on how much I love this incredible man. Yes, I love him that much!
So, you may think that this is a sappy post, but all of it is true. The Lord has given Brian to me as an angel in my life. Brian is my angel, truely. God couldn't have made a more perfect match for love!
Thanks Brittany @ the High Heeled Housewife! I've never put my feelings into words like this until now. I can't wait to show Brian this post.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Thank your husband/fiance/boyfriend for all that he does!
For Now & God Bless, *Amber*
Hi! I stumbled across your blog from the highheeledhousewife.com I'm doing the My Favorites challenge as well. I read this, and I almost thought it was me who wrote it! My husband is the only one working in our house, and I stay home all day. I am constantly struggling to keep the house clean, dishes, laundry, etc! I have a tendency to feel guilty about it too. It's a never ending work in progress I guess! Great post, and hope you have a great week!
