Last night after working overtime, Brad came come and showered just in time to help me finally finish putting away our Christmas decorations that I've been dragging my feet about, then came to an hour and a half long exrutiating HOA meeting that I needed to go to, and after all of that came home and watched some of The Voice with me instead of Agents of Shield like he wanted to. Man, I'm a selfish woman and he's such a wonderful man. So lucky and grateful for all of the things he does for me DAILY.

My sweet husband came home after work and mutual, and despite him feeling sick all day, as soon as he was showered he went right to folding and changing out the laundry, then he cut ribbon for me to help with some baby shower invitations, and then he helped me put all the clean sheets back on our bed and make it up all nice at 11:10 p.m. so we could sleep in it :) I sure love this sweet and hardworking, helpful man of mine!

Twice in One Week

Brad was home for a little bit this morning before he had to head off to an interview and he again made the bed...well for the most part, but still. And he walked the dogs so I didn't have to, and helped clean up our bedroom so Andrew and Melissa could come over for their blind date tonight :) love my helpful man!

3.2.14

Yesterday, before church and after I got out of the shower, I opened my bedroom door to a freshly made bed by the hubs :)  This is especially impressive because he tried to make it to my exact liking and did pretty darn good :)  He is such a good man, and it's the little things like this where he tries to keep me happy at all times that make our life so great!

Waaaaay Too Long!

This blog sure makes it seem like Brad is not as awesome as he really is...the truth is that I am not so awesome and need to be better about keeping up with it. Here are just a few seemingly small things that go leaps and bounds in making my life happier and sweeter from my Bradley:
He started tapping his toothbrush on the side of the sink instead of shaking it, so that the toothbrush holder doesn't get all gucky.
He thanked me the other day when I actually made the bed and told me how great it looked, even though he doesn't really care about the bed being made.
He works so many hours so that I can have the new floors and home renovations and fertility treatments that I want.
He kicked major butt on our floors in the loft and hallways upstairs and they are beautiful!
He is diligently taking his vitamins to take better care of his body, and he's drinking less soda and working out like a pro, all to help possibly up his quality sperm count...not to mention he was willing to have surgery to fix things and didn't even bat an eye when it was brought up, he just asked when and where.
He is so humble and so sweet.
He always makes sure I get public displays of flowers on Valentine's Day :)
He calls me every night before bed when he is away.
He has gotten really great about cleaning up after himself and not making me do it very often. I feel like these days he cleans up after me almost more ;)
Even though he has gotten more discouraged and had more bad news in the past few months than ever before in his life, he still keeps such a positive attitude.
He is just all around a great guy who never ever lets me doubt that he is head over heels in love with me and wants me to be happy.

I am so blessed to call him my own :)

He Passed!

Brad passed the UFA fire test again :)  This time they only took 120 people instead of 220 and almost no one else he knows has passed.  We have a really good feeling about this testing round, but we will see what happens.  I am just proud of the man he is and the patience he has...after all, he's married to me, he has to have that ;)  He's just wonderful and deserves so much and I want this for him more than I want most things in life.  Way to be, you can do this, honey!
