I Am Thankful For...

Eddie. I am grateful for a righteous husband who holds the priesthood, and was able to take me to the temple so we can have an eternal family. I love that he takes care of me when I am sick. He held the family and the house together this year when I was pregnant and too sick to do very much. I love that he does dishes, helps with the cooking, and folds and puts the laundry away, in addition to the "husband" tasks like taking out the garbage, cleaning the garage and mowing the lawn. I love that we team teach the little Sunbeams at church, going on four years! I love Primary. I love that he indulges my little whims, like going shopping on Black Friday at 4am. I love that he took family vacations to Disneyworld and Disneyland. I love that he wanted a balance between family and career, having his own chiropractic business allows him to spend time together as a family. I love that we like to do lots of the same things, going to see movies, reading, and enjoying the outdoors. I love that he is "handy" he has fixed the washer and dryer, the cars, toys, and leaky faucets, and he can build stuff, a bookcase, a swing set, and a train table. I love that he loves to help people feel better by taking care of their bodies. I love that we have similar ideals about natural health, we limit the use of medication, don't vaccinate, and have drug free births. I love that he was able to "catch" our third baby. I love that he was a Boy Scout, and focuses on "Being Prepared". He is working hard on emergency supplies, food storage, and preparedness for our family. I love that we have a dream of traveling the country in our own RV someday. Someday we would also love to live on our own piece of land, in our dream house that we build, and have our own cow (for milk) and chickens (for eggs and chicken). I love that he is the father of my children, and loves to spend time with them. I love that he reminds me so much of my father. Before my dad died, he told me he was grateful that his kids were grown, and he knew that we would be OK, and that Eddie would take care of me. I think he's doing a wonderful job, living up to my dad's expectations.
