My Sweet husband

The other night I was driving home and listening to what advice John Tesh had to serve up. He was talking about dating and how you should speak up about things that interest you, but that you should also be willing to do something your date wants to do. All of a sudden, my mind flashed back to Mike's and my second date. He had planned to surprise me and take me to an art museum(which he knew is something I love to do). However, the night before, I had pulled an all-nighter after I had typed up a 15 page paper on the computer, and then when I tried to print it, it deleted it. So I spent the whole night retyping it. Mike was so sympathetic he was willing to postpone our plans for the museum and just sit on the couch with me and watch a movie. I knew from then on that I picked a good one! I'm so grateful to him for all the sacrifices he makes for me and his willingness to change plans. I'm also grateful that we each have some different interests that we bring to the relationship that we can support each other on, but don't necessarily have a passion for ourselves. I love to support his running career and I try to go to every single race no matter how small or large. He also supports me in my love of scrapbooking and always looks at the pages I've done and gives me advice when I need it. He also allows me to attend book club once a month while he stays home with the kids, and other activites such as nutrition seminars that I want to attend. I love you Mike!

What a sweet entry. I've spent the last several years watching you two interact and it's truly inspiring. You are both generous and ready to go the extra mile to bring joy to one another... How cool is that?! I can see you guys growing old side by side... the kind of dream I once had. Keep up the terrific relationship you have. You'll never regret it.
