Five years ago today I married my best friend. Marriage has taught me patience, forgiveness, self sacrifice and undeserving love. Matthew is so many wonderful things that I am not and our family is blessed to have him as our leader. He looks after me and Rowan so well and I have just become used to this high standard of love. So much though that I often forget or don't take time to praise him and thank him for the job he does. So to my "Words of Affirmation" guy here are some things I love about the way you love us....
-You give me back tickles and rubs almost every night before bed
-You make my lunch for work when I am running late
-You tell me I am beautiful even when I feel like eczema is ruining my life
-You have attempted to cook dinners even though you hate it as much as I do
-You pray with Rowan and I
-You help out with every single baby task there is, nothing is above you or too gross for you or too scary for you or any other excuses I hear other dads make. From washing her cloth diapers to making her food to wrestling and playing with her, to putting her to bed, Rowan is blessed by your involvement in her life.
-You watch dumb shows like the bachelorette with me just so we can spend time together
-You water the lawn and mow the grass because you know I like our lawn to be pretty
-You have created a hundred different spreadsheets for running our house from monthly budgets to plans to pay off our mortgage to goals for the year.
-You never second guess my judgment when it comes to spending money and sticking to the budget.
-You go to work 5 days a week to an often stressful job yet you hardly complain
-You can be silly and join in my dance parties/ sing along sessions around the house.
-You write me sweet letters and notes
-You have made me thankful I married you every day for the last 365 x 5 days :)
Happy Anniversary Babe, I love you!
