The Mommy Diaries: Marriage Monday

Marriage Monday

I'm not sure how other blogs do things. I know some of them have special days where they focus on different topics. I've decided to do my own thing and thus, Mondays will be about Marriage - well, my marriage or my husband.

10 Reasons I Love My One:

(completely random and in no specific order)

He loves Jesus
He is a wonderful father
He is very patient with me
He's thoughtful
He works really hard
He likes to quote movies for every situation he's in
He's kind of a baby when he's sick
He's not demanding
He let's me get Starbucks
He makes me laugh

I know I am totally guilty of taking my One for granted. I get into my (semi) routine and so focused on my own list of to-dos that I forget that he's working hard all day (at a job he really doesn't like) to provide for me and the kids. And then most days he's also going to classes and studying and doing homework. It doesn't leave a whole lot of time for him to think about himself. But even if he had time, I don't think Kris would think about himself because he's so selfless. He's always thinking of ways to make things better and ways to help other people. Yep! That's MY husband. I'm one of the lucky girls that ended up with a GOOD one. I love you Kris Graves! Thank you for being a great One! I praise God for you and the blessing you are in my life!

What a wonderful post! We all need a reminder not to take our spouses for granted. It's so easy to do when you get weighed down by the routines of family life!
