I love my husband

Every once in a while, it occurs to me how very lucky I am to have the kind of marriage I have. My husband is my best friend and even if I spent every waking moment of my life with him, it would not be enough!! I wish that I could spend all of my time with him. In the beginning of our relationship, we pretty much DID spend all of our time together! We lived together, worked together, we were hardly ever apart - and I LOVED it!! Now we are experiencing quite the opposite. We work opposite schedules Monday-Friday so that we can take care of our son without having to pay for childcare. I work 6:30am-3:00pm and he works 3:30pm-midnight. We are ships passing in the night Monday-Friday. It totally SUCKS!!! Thankfully we get time together on the weekends. It is the only thing about this arrangement of ours that makes it even slightly doable. If we NEVER saw each other - this would never work! I really miss him during the week though!

Jeff can make me laugh like no one else. His sense of humor is one of my favorite things about him. I have so many good memories of nights where we laid awake for hours in bed just giggling like kids having a sleep over!! He makes me so happy! He is the kindest, most generous, selfless person! He spoils me rotten in ways I often wonder if I deserve. He is an amazing Father... a role new to him but that he fell into quite naturally. I love to watch him with our son. My heart could just burst with joy when I see the two of them together.

He is a wonderful man. I know this of course, but every once in a while it just hits me that I am EXTREMELY LUCKY to have snagged him! He makes me happier than I ever thought possible and I love the life we have built together!

Now if we could just get more time together...

Our dream is to someday open our own business together. We want to open our own deli/cafe. Jeff has TONS of experience working with the public, and I have the nerdy bookkeeping/back end stuff down! We both have business management experience too. We would be GREAT at running a business together and we would get to spend so much more time together! When I think about how awesome it would be, I get just giddy with excitement... but I also get frustrated. We are so far from being able to attain that goal and being the extremely impatient person that I am, it is hard for me to wait!! Money is our primary obstacle. We need to get out of debt and get some savings built up before we could ever even consider diving into this endeavor! But we will get there... I know we will! Someday we will have our dream!!

Anyway... I was just sitting here at work missing my hubby and thought I'd blog about how wonderful he is!! I LOVE YOU JEFF!!
