redheadeddaughter Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am thankful for the man who just came downstairs with me to cut up apples and cheese for a midnight snack. And then gave me all the Trader Joe's peanut butter chocolates that were leftover. Those are his favorite. I'm not thankful for the 4 pounds I'm sure I gained already though.

mrsrevmeg Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am thankful for my husband who: Works 12 hour shifts (in a building that gets up to 120 degrees in the summer) yet tells everyone that his wife works harder than anyone he knows. Can handle my occasional hysterics over things like a mouse getting in our house. Gives the best back rubs in the world, because he thinks I deserve them. Loves me, loves our boys and always wants to spend time with us. When he is at work, he calls at least three times a day. Likes to cuddle.

tinkhs Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I am thankful that he loves me, who I really am. After 21 years together, I have seen so many of our friends' marriages begin and end; but he tells me I am the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, he adores our girls, tears up about us all the time and loves being with us. Having that kind of relationship, I can overlook things like toilet lids and socks on the floor. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Who adjusts his routine to mine, who eats what's put in front of him, who shows up when and where he says he will, who can fix anything, who takes kiddo out for a run anytime I ask him to, and who is teaching kiddo to ski, sail, fix-it, and be kind to others. I also like the fact that, despite a temper, he has never, ever called me a bad word. I didn't know such men existed (other than my dad, of course).
