Thankful

Today I just want to write how thankful I am. I am forever thankful for the family that I have been given. They are the purest joy to me. But more than anything in this moment I want to say how thankful I am for my husband. He is a rock in my life and even though we may go through some spectacularly uncertain times together, I know that we are in this together. No matter what.

I am one spoiled women, that much is true. I have a husband who does the laundry. I am a bit ashamed to admit that I have only done laundry a dozen times or so since we've been married. It isn't because I don't know how, on the contrary, he just likes doing it! I am sure that will change one day soon when I am home alone all day, but for now I will just enjoy it. I am also so lucky that he cooks! He is great at it and does it often. It is so nice to not have to worry about how my family will get nourishment when I am not there to make it. He also helps me clean and will do the dishes. And even though I might come after him and re-load rearrange the dishwasher, I don't mind, because he did the hard work first.

But most of all, I am thankful that he shows me every single day how much he loves me. I may not get flowers often, or other silly little tokens of love, but he shows me in the little things how much I matter and that means the world to me. I love that we laugh everyday, no matter what. We smile together everyday, no matter what. And no matter what we are there for each other.

I love you Aaron. And even though times may be tough, we have each others back, no matter what. Thanks for picking me, the semi-emotional and sometimes spastic girl that couldn't come up with a reason not to go on a date with you all those years ago.
