Comes In Waves...

My posts come in waves that is, not my husbands work ethic. Brad finally had some days off this week between fire shifts and what did he do? He did all of the paperwork for us to get a truck, not to mention staying on the internet all day to find us one, he did the laundry, did 2 loads of dishes, went and ran errands and shopping for me, played with our dog, brought me lunch at work, and I know I'm missing some, but basically he worked his booty off while he was supposed to not be working. I really am the luckiest girl ever :-) thanks for all you do honey! You are wonderful.

Day Off? What is that!

Last Friday Brad had his only day off, by himself, in the last several years and probably for the many years to come...so he very well could've taken the day to sleep, or play video games, or just play in general, but instead he made the bed, ran errands for me and for himself, and he did all the loads of laundry AND folded them - even after I had been a jerk and mean to him.  What I do to deserve that man of mine, I just don't know!  Love you honey :)

Self Discipline.

I am not a morning person at all...like aaaaaat all.  Bradley says that he isn't a morning person either...but today he got up at 5:40 a.m. (on a Saturday!) to get donuts for his new crew and be early to work in Ogden for his first actual ride along.  SELF DISCIPLINE my friends!  He's definitely got it :)  So proud of that man of mine.

My Amazing Husband.

I have such a great man who works so hard to support his family...especially when his family is just me and Pokie.  And he does it when I'm not always the most helpful or supportive either.  I get grumpy and complainy and whiny, and he still continues to carry on and do what it takes to take care of us.  I am so grateful for his drive and work ethic, and on top of all of that how much he still loves me.  I am one lucky girl :)

My Fireman!

It's official, and here are some pictures for proof! I can't believe this day is finally here. I can't thank our friends, family, and Heavenly Father enough for helping us hold out and keep the faith that Brad would really be a fulltime firefighter someday. I am so proud to call him mine and even more proud of all the time and effort he has put in to make this happen. He is so stalwart and never gave up. I love you honey. No one deserves to be happy more than you do :)

So Blessed.

I swear no other couple is as perfect for each other or as in love with each other as Brad and me.  I know there probably are, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like that could be possible.  Yes, we have our moments that we argue and disagree, etc, but sometimes it's those moments that prove to me even more that we were meant to be together.  Brad is my perfect compliment and everything I'm not.  He seriously (cheesily) completes me and does everything that I can't do.  I just need to remember that when I get sad and depressed that I don't have other people that love me like he does, and even if I don't have any other friends, I have my sweet husband.  My sweet, perfect husband.

FIREFIGHTER!!!

St. Patrick's Day 2014 - a day that will forever live in infamy in the Withers household as the day that my sweet husband got a full time firefighting job!!! Brad woke up yesterday morning and met with the chief of the Ogden Fire Dept who, after about a half hour of just chit chatting, was so impressed with Brad that he extended a job offer to him to start April 7! "Well it looks like you've got all of the certifications you need and you've dome everything you can, you just need someone to offer you a full time position and we would like to do that for you..." ABSOLUTELY!!!  We could not be more excited and I could not be more proud of my husband for holding fast to this dream for four years knowing he was meant to do this and that it would all work out in the end. Yes, it's a long commute, but we love where we live and we want him to be a firefighter so we will make it work :) I know God listens to and answers our prayers and have learned that he makes things happen when they are supposed to, we just have to hold out hope and trust in Him. Hallelujah! April 7, you can't come fast enough!
