Wanna know why? My Husband. He's the best EVER. I don't tell him enough, really. Perhaps I should be writing this to him instead of to the oblivion that is the internet. But seriously, he's absolutely the best. Here's a very short list of why:
~ He works hard every day. Too hard, if you ask me. But I couldn't be a SAHM otherwise.
~ He never complains about my slack housework days.
~ He won't pitch a fit if I ask him to help out around the house, because of my slack housework days.
~ He likes mowing the grass. Whatever...
~ He gives me his extra cash instead of hiding it in his wallet. My dad used to call that "fishin' money".
~ He's the coolest dad in the neighborhood. Well, none of the other dads have skateboards...
~ He drives a beater every day while I get to drive the nice, new (well, sorta) SUV.
~ He is so great with our daughter. So great. I wish I could be like he is all the time.
~ He still brings me flowers.
~ He doesn't mind my scrapbooking addiction. I mean habit. I mean hobby.
~ He knows how to grill a steak exactly the way I like it. Because it is all about me, after all...
~ He hauled my childhood piano home on Valentine's Day. THAT'S love, people.
~ He's comfortable in an upscale restaurant, but he knows how to throw down, too.
~ He puts up with my decorating-redecorating-decorating-redecorating cycle.
~ He never complains about anything I buy, whether it's food, clothing, toys, or decorations (see above).
~ He tells me he loves me everyday.
~ He makes me laugh. Still.
~ He makes my heart smile : )
I could think of tons of other reasons, but those are the only ones I'm going to share! ; )
So to my dear husband, thank you for being SO supergreat. I love you!!!

Happy 4th of July!
Isn't it great that we live in a nation where people can have blogs? Isn't it great that we're allowed to speak our minds (brainfarts and all), exercise our rights (if not our thighs), and bask in the glow of freedom? My grandfather, father, father-in-law, brother and several brothers-in-law all served in the Navy (which, if you didn't know, stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself) and sacrificed years of their lives and time away from their families to fight wars, run ships, and save soldier's lives. Why? So that the United States of America could be a nation for all citizents who seek freedom under its protection. All CITIZENS...
And here's where I'm going to get myself into a lot of trouble: I'm pretty sure that when those brave men were stuck in the belly of a submarine for six months, or saving wounded soldiers on the beaches of Vietnam, they weren't thinking about all those illegal immigrants who were enjoying the same freedoms as their families back home. Why is this country so blind to the fact that if they keep "doing what they're doing, they're going to keep getting what they're getting" as my Pastor would say? When is enough, enough? When our schools can't afford to stay open? When our healthcare system has gone to the dogs? When law-abiding citizens can't find jobs because it's cheaper to pay an illegal immigrant? Find me a President who'll shut down the borders and bring jobs back here, and you'll find me first in line at the poll.
This country was founded on freedoms other nations can only dream of having. However, they are freedoms intended for the citizens of this country. I love this country. I love living in my own house, going to my own church, and raising my daughter with my own values. So for that, I say, Thanks guys, for enduring months away from your families, horrible food, unimaginable stress, and crummy sleeping quarters. Perhaps Immigration and Naturalization Services should direct their clients away from the Welfare line and into the Armed Forces Recruiting center.
To all of my fellow American citizens, remember the women and men who have served and are currently serving in the Military. Now go eat your hot dogs, light off those fireworks, and have a good Fourth!
