Missed again

Yesterday, I wanted to say that I am thankful for spring time. I love all of the seasons for different reasons. Each one has its own beauty. What I love about spring is what is going on right now, when everything is in bloom and the trees have popcorn all over them, especially the pink popcorn trees. (I just have to say when we bought our house, I was so excited that we had a pink popcorn tree in our yard) I love how green and refreshing everything is. I love all the pretty flowers and their bright colors. I love the feeling of stepping outside into the sunshine and the goosebumps I get because of the warmth. I love the smell in the air - blossoms, flowers, fresh cut grass. It is like the whole world is clean after the snow has melted and the spring rains are gone. It is so beautiful and it renews my soul to look outside at it. I am thankful for spring time.





Today, I am grateful for my husband. I guess it is about time I got sappy again. He has worked so hard since I stopped working to stay home and have kids. He loves me no matter how bad my mood is. He understands me so well, even when I don't think he really does. He has taught me so much about faith and that things will always work out for our best (there have been times that his faith has gotten on my nerves and I just wanted him to worry a little, but in the end it always did work out). He still finds me sexy after two kids. He listens to my ridiculous questions that he knows he can't answer, but still humors me. He puts up with the fact that I start talking to him mid-thought instead of giving him a little background about what I have been thinking. He even tries to figure out what I could be thinking about instead of acting like I'm a loony and getting upset with me. He has a true passion for cars. Even though it does get on my nerves from time to time, I do appreciate it. I admire his desire to learn all he can about cars. I can't think of any hobby that I am that interested in. He tries to do what he can to help me when I am stressed. He takes the kids upstairs to play to give me a little "me time". He loves me all the time (even the stinky times). He tries to make me laugh when I am upset or angry. When he apologizes, he means it. Anyway, this list could go on and on. I am grateful for my husband.
