There is something about this guy.....

....that I find fascinating and I want to share.

Yesterday was Dirk's 33rd birthday. We have been together for 10 years now and in those 10 years I have discovered so many things about this guy that make me fall more in love with him everyday!

He is:

D-daring. I swear he will try anything

I-inquisitive. He is always asking questions

R-reliable.

K-knowledgeable, he knows so much about a lot of things and if he doesn't he learns it, fast!

S-spacey, he wouldn't be him unless I had to repeat myself 3-4 times.

H-hilarious. He use to make his parents laugh everyday, now it is mine and the kids turn. He never fails us.

A-analytical, I have to throw this one in since it is his favorite word, trust me he is insane with it!

N-normal, a weird thing to love, I know, but I love that he is just a regular kind of guy.

E-easy-going.

S-sexy! I couldn't be luckier.

O-optimistic. To quote my father-in-law, "He sees the donut and I see the hole."

R-responsible

E-exciting. He makes you feel so good you just always want to be around him.

N-neighborly.

S-steadfast. We are so lucky to have him as the head of our family.

E-energetic.

N-nerd. and he is all mine!

A Few Thoughts

So, it's not Thursday and I am not posting things I am thankful for but I just had some thoughts this morning and I wanted to write them down for later inspection.
I was scrolling through all of my thankful thoughts and getting a little teary eyed with some. I really miss putting up 3 little things I am thankful for every week. Since I started working this last fall Thursday has become the busiest day of my week. I found myself wondering if this was a coincidence or if there was another reason everything seems to converge on this day. I swear whenever I find something that helps me change my perspective on life for the better there are more obstacles then sometimes seem possible to get around. I am not going to let those obstacles win. I need this blog more than anyone needs to read it. I have to find these little things sometimes to keep my sanity and to remember all the things I love about being a mom and wife. I will continue to be thankful and I will endeavor to better about sharing all those thoughts with all those who read my posts.
