Sure he drives me insane with his quarks and he can never find anything on his own even if it is right in front of him, BUT he is an amazing man who works hard to support his family and make me feel good about myself. He supports every one of my own quarks and crazy ideas. From weight loss, overall health, couponing, fundraising, and every other "bright idea" that I have, he has been there for me. He is human and a man so trust me he is not perfect, but I truly feel I am one of the luckiest woman on the planet! For my 30th birthday he made a huge dream come true and took me to New York City for a week. I am a huge romantic and he not only took me on a horse drawn carriage ride through Central Park and took me to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, but he did all of the little corny things on my list. He has made my dream of going to Napa come true and even scheduled a couples message on our trip. He works very long hours and has even spent a lot of time traveling for work. We have been through several rough patches throughout the almost 10 years we have been together but each time we power through. It isn't always overnight and it isn't always pretty but in the end our love pulls us back together. He has become a great father to our little girl too. In the beginning it was rough. He wasn't a hands on dad and he was traveling all of the time. It was hard for him to bond with her and he struggled to find his place with her. He loved her to the moon and back and was so proud of her but he just simply didn't know how to jump in there when he was only around 2 days a week. I used to get so stressed and so upset. I didn't fully understand. Now that he is not traveling anymore he is a total different dad. He still loves her to the moon and back and he is still very proud of her but he is so much more hands on than he ever was. However, Makayla has not made it easy for him and still to this day insists that only mommy does certain things. But I can see that slowly, very very slowly, changing over time. And the bigger point of it all is that he is trying. I love my husband very much and am very blessed and thankful to have him in my life. It's corny, but he does complete me and I don't know what I would do without him. I am also very thankful that neither of us have given up on each others weaknesses and have been able to grow and learn from our mistakes. I can only hope that Makayla one day finds an amazing man like my husband to spend the rest of her life with.
