Already falling behind on my own challenge!
This week is about my husband.
It's hard to believe that it's been a little over 8 years now that I met Jacob. We're going on a decade.
So here are some things that I am grateful for:
He gave me the title of Mommy and has given me 2 precious little boys. (Well, God gets most of the credit, but you know what I mean!)
Even though we knew we'd be scraping by sometimes, he has always fully supported that fact that I wanted to be a stay at home mom and has always encouraged it. It's literally the best job and hardest job in the whole world, but I am so thankful that he doesn't expect me to work a full time job.
He's taught me to loosen the purse strings sometimes and splurge for something fun. Usually for us that's a sporting event. When we first met he had season tickets for Illinois games, so the first couple of years we went to all of the home games. Then once I was pregnant we needed to save money so we got rid of them. But, we've still gotten to go to a couple of Iowa games in that time! He also introduced me to the beauty that is Cardinal baseball. This is the first year since we got married that we didn't get to go to a game together. But, we did just get tickets to the Illinois/Iowa game next month, so I'm excited for that!
He's never minded me taking the boys on road trips to Iowa or to visit Heidi.
He says random things that make me laugh.
He'll drive anywhere with lots of traffic because he knows that I hate it and I'm scared to drive in it.
He does a good job with his kids at school and works hard on putting on the musical.
He's smart. He's taught me a lot, and I know he'll be able to teach the boys all of the things I can't remember.
He has loved me at any weight. Let's face it...I weighed 25 or more pounds lighter that I did when we met!
Many things to be thankful for!
