Why I Love My Husband! And Happy Birthday Seester!




There are all kinds of reasons that I love my husband. He loves me with all my faults and even my extra pounds. He is a very multi-faceted guy. You have heard me say that he cooks, cleans, bakes and the like.

Today, He made doughnuts from my Great Uncle Sap's recipe. Yumm-O! I like it that he spent a lot of time at his grandmother's knee learning how to cook and bake and make doughnuts.

He went to bed late last night having mixed up the dough and awoke early this morning to be sure that we had 40 doughnuts for my sister's 40th birthday. It was "time to make the doughnuts".

I love my husband because even when he is grouchy at me, he will eventually say he is sorry and he will wait patiently for me to apologize when I am grouchy. He is a very loyal and faithful husband and father. I do not ever fear his leaving me or our children. This is a major comfort in an unsettling world.

I love my husband because he loves the LORD and he wants to be the spiritual head of the household. He takes seriously his responsibilities and wants to make sure those around him are taken care of no matter what.

That brings me back to today, while today isn't about Troy, it doesn't matter to him. He doesn't want the limelight. So, Happy Birthday Seester! Today is about you and the 40 Ways to Celebrate You Turning 40! That is our theme and we are going to spend today and the next week or so, celebrating my seester.
