Thankful Thursday

For my first Thankful Thursday I want to highlight one of the biggest and most valued blessings in my life: my husband. 



My husband and I have been married for almost two years now and what an amazing two years it's been! I cannot possibly imagine "doing life" with anyone else, anyone. He is absolutely 100% my person, and I thank God every day for him.

Without getting too sentimental or wordy, here are some of the things I am thankful for about him.

His sense of humor. Without a doubt, one of his biggest characteristics is his sense of humor. I can always count on him to make me laugh; always, always, always.

His encyclopedia of trivia knowledge. It is AMAZING to me the things he knows. I don't know how he does it but he remembers a lot of stuff. If you don't know the answer to something, ask Adam, he'll know. This is especially true if the topic at hand has anything to do with sports, Star Wars, or Craft Beer. I love this about him.

His cooking skills. Seriously - most guys have the whole grilling thing down, he's a pro at that, too. But he's pretty savvy inside the kitchen as well. Just this week, he whipped up the most delicious dinner ever - some kind of Asian inspired Peanut Steak. He'd never made it before, we didn't plan for it so we weren't shopping for the specific ingredients, he just whipped it up. And guess what, that's going into regular rotation on our menu, DELISH. So thankful that I can count on my hubby to whip up dinner (and do the dishes!) on nights when I'm not able to. That's a good man right there, am I right?

His love of cutting the grass (our yard would be wild if that were up to me). Not much more explanation needed there - I'm very thankful he is happy to do this chore around the house. 

His outlook on life. I pride myself on being an optimistic person, but sometimes life gets overwhelming and feels like it's too much for one person to handle. I am so very thankful that I have my husband to help me through those times. He has a way of reminding me that life is short and whatever problem it is that I'm doting on probably won't be that big of deal in the (all too near) future. 

His dedication to his family. This guy loves his family. Seeing Adam with his family is awesome. He and his Dad have a very close relationship; He loves his Mother unlike any other person in the world; and though he may still revert to picking on his sister pretty regularly - it's obvious to see that its all stems from love. Not to mention how quickly he slipped right in and found his own spot in my family. It's like he's been there all along - I love his relationship with my parents & sisters and even my grandparents and aunts/uncles. It doesn't get any better than that! Oh wait, yes it does, we have a daughter! Holy heart throb - He is the best Daddy...Wait, I thought I wasn't getting sentimental here...  

His faith in me. Somehow Adam has found a way to be everything that a woman could need in a man, and yet still faithfully follow my lead and let me feel like I run things. That's a talent right there. I can't express how much easier it is to go through life knowing that I have my husbands support in every single thing I do. I am so very, very thankful for his confidence in me.


What are you thankful for? Maybe take a few minutes today and think about that - it is a nice way to cheer yourself up a bit!

Love you, Boo!
