There is just something about this man I married.....I love him more and more every day. Even when we may be having "one-of-those-days", I think I'm so lucky to be living this life with this man and our little family.

There are days that we just go through the motions.....but then he surprises me with a little treat.....a treat for me, a treat of himself.

914..bringing home a candy bar just for me..

915..collecting payment from a customer that was over 2 years old..

916..watching children when I had the flu..

917..cleaning up spills, changing diapers, and taking out the garbage..

918..quiet mornings together, just us and some coffee..

919..keeping our home warm, hauling in corn ~ fuel for the fire..

920..him always reminding me ~ Stress is what you make of it!..

921..that look he gives me, even in my pj's and with hair all a mess..

922..taking the kids with him on errands ~ leaving me precious time to myself..

923..remembering to bring in the mail ~ even when he comes home in the wee hours of the morning..

924..sharing dreams for the future together..

925..working hard, making strategic decisions to better our future..

926..sharing meals together, him and I and this wild bunch of children..

Join others over at Ann's as we count our blessings.....

God bless!
