A good man

Photobucket

I married a good man.

A man who takes the trash out without being told. A man who plays games with our kids and sometimes lets them win. A man who can't wait to get home at the end of the day, just so he can be with us.

A man who builds me up when I am doubting myself. (which, let's be honest here, is a lot)

A man who laughs at my "chair closet" when I get lazy and don't want to hang things up. (And also a man who doesn't take that time to remind me how often I nag him about hanging his own things up.)

[Note to self: No more nagging about the clothes]

A man who loves freckles and dimpled thighs. (or at least pretends to anyway)

A practical man who approaches life with logic and intelligence.

A man who sees me at the end of my rope, and always ties a big knot for me to hold onto.

Yes, I married a good man.

And today I thought I should tell him that.

    Don't tell Dan I laughed at his asking who the blonde chick is...

  10. Love is such a strange this, isn't it? One moment we're complaining and the other, we're appreciating- i just read your last two posts in succession and they made me smile- a lot. Love the picture of the two of you!

  12. I did not marry a good man. Which is why I can truely appreciate the good man I am with now, affectionately called the "Rent-A-Hubby". It's also why I told him the other day I'm considering a lease option...

  16. WHERE are your gorgeous freckles??? You are still cute but cuter with. I married a good man too. Then he got bad and I have to divorce him. Obviously this has nothing to do with you but I'm just saying because I'm a brat.

  23. why is it unacceptable to write this post in reverse? to point out that on some days, we clearly married a big fat jerk? because there are times when i feel i should tell him that...

  26. What a nice photo of you and the hubby. What a great tribute to him... I was just wondering, though, when you say he loves your freckles - I don't see any. Where are they?

    And y'all are so stinkin' cute! :)
