Sorry you're sick today honey.  Proud of you for being manly about it and pushing through.  Proud of you for taking a break and trying to take care of yourself in the middle of the day.  Love you.

Can I tell you again that I love you for coming home and rescuing me today. thanks for caring for me and our kids when I'm sick.

I love you for being so flexible when I suggest rearranging kid care for the day.  For some reason I thought it would be a relief for you for me to take and get Jake from school, only to realize that it left you to take care of Hyrum and put him down for a morning nap and then entertain both Hyrum and Joey in the afternoon when I went for Jake.  Thanks for being so supportive and allowing me to be involved in Jacob's school.

I love you for talking with me, listening to me, reading next to me and rubbing my feet.  And all before 10 pm!

I love you for letting me sleep in, letting me go on a bike ride and run and working in the yard with the boys - all while having an ulcer!

I loved watching Robin Hood and eating Peach Crisp with you.  You are wonderful to snuggle with and reassure me when it gets scary and I LOVE talking about the movie with you when it is over.  I'm so glad we have similar movie standards.

I love that you support me regardless of what I do all day.  Cook all day so we can eat good - you support.  Clean all day and pick up after our kids - you support.  Spend the morning running and taking time for myself - you support.  Play all day and giggle with our kids - you're with me 100%.  You're pretty awesome, you know that!

(Thanks for getting the BEST gifts for Joey's b-day).

I love that you encourage and help me with my ideas to share the gospel.  It is wonderful to be missionaries together!

March 6, 2011

I love that you share your family with me.  Uncle Doug is my uncle too!  Thanks for going on a walk with the boys and not being bothered when you came home and I was asleep.  Thanks for wrapping up the evening and cleaning up the kitchen on your own!

I LOVE going to the temple with you.  I love talking with you, REALLY talking and using "Conversation Cards".  I love listening to podcasts with you.  I love driving as quick as we can to get back to our little boys.  I love when you share the good (or the not so good) news that you get on your e-mails.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend and thank you for wanting to come back with me to our wonderful reality.
