Why blog? I don't even have a facebook account...it feels like it makes life so public. But then--blogging is kind of like a diary, isn't it? It makes me feel a little like Doogie Houser at the end of the day--collecting my thoughts and putting them down. I don't want to blog because I want my life to be public (though I don't mind wearing my heart on my sleeve, most of the time) or because I'm a narcissist, but because these days of our young family are so precious I don't want to lose them to a faulty memory. This time, this stage, these moments truly are 'a time to keep', and blogging is simply the most convenient way to keep them and share them.

I really didn't think I'd ever start a blog...but now that Mac has stopped calling firetrucks "fire knuckles" (he now calls them firetrucks, and I'm so sad!), I realize I'll forget that he ever did that if I don't write it down. So, the blog begins. Welcome.

My Amazing Husband


My Amazing Husband...
-finished baby's room almost completely by himself, and it is beautiful. (By this I mean ripping out to the studs, insulating, installing new drywall on walls and ceiling, new molding, trim, baseboards, paint, repairing the floor, and all the tiny details that comes along with these tasks.)
-sweetly told me to put my chair down when I was reclining on two chair legs after supper. I was uncomfortable (is there any way to be comfy at all when you're 38 weeks pregnant?), but he was worried.
-makes coffee for me every morning.
-changes stinky diapers without hesitation.
-cleans up supper every night.
-baths our child (this is usually my task but it's laughable for this huge girl to try to do right now).
-holds my hand at the doctor's office.
-tells me when I'm wrong in a way that doesn't make me feel wrong.
-thinks about things. Deeply.
-is honestly everything I've always wanted in a man. I am so blessed!
-stacked hymnals on the floor under the pew at church last week so my legs didn't dangle.

Looking back over this list it sounds like Brad just "does stuff" for me...our marriage is not defined by this type of thing--but lately, his kindness in every day things has really meant a lot and doesn't go unnoticed. I love him more all the time.
