Amazing Man

I love this guy so very, very much. and I would like to take a moment to talk about a few of the reasons why.

  • He never judges me for my shortcomings.
  • He helps me in so many ways.
  • He is loving.
  • He is understanding.
  • He is considerate of my feelings.
  • He listens to me when I'm talking.
  • He never would purposely hurt my feelings.
  • I can be completely vulnerable with him, which I love.
  • He picks up my slack.
  • He has done the laundry for the majority of our marriage.
  • He does the dishes.
  • He helps me clean.
  • He puts up with my mood swings.
  • He comes up with ideas to relieve some of my stress.
Okay so this is a small list of the many amazing things Nate does for me, but I needed to write down how fantastic I feel my husband is. I have been nesting lately and have been an insane person. :) Not really, but I have felt that our incredibly clean house is disgusting. I wanted to de-junk and organize everything and Nate was excited. We have a schedule and we are getting through everything. I want to have things pretty much done once the baby gets here. Anyway a few of the things on my list that Nate hadn't thought about were things like washing the baseboards (see a little insane). Well to my surprise I came home last night walked in and the Living Room had been dusted and vacuumed, the dishes were done, everything in the kitchen had been wiped down and was oh so clean and he had cleaned out the 4 things that were in our garage that had been driving me insane. Then to my great enjoyment he said, 'You'll never guess what I cleaned, you've been complaining about them for awhile.' I thought about it and I believe it was the second thing I guessed, it was the baseboards. He had gotten down and gone through 4 rags scrubbing them clean for me. I can't explain how thoughtful this was. It's a hard task and though our house isn't huge it's still an undertaking. After he told me I looked at them and they looked fantastic, seriously fantastic! I sat down to dinner, and then to do my homework with a greater sense of peace and relaxation knowing that my house was so clean. and he had done it for me. Because he loves me and wants me to be happy and he thought about it and didn't want his pregnant wife to have to crawl through the house. What a fantastic man I have married, who will not only love me unconditionally, but will clean my baseboards to help me feel more comfortable.

Hahaha Nathan Cooper, your comment makes it look like it's Nate saying that about himself. :) I even had to double check.
