I’m Going to Brag……….

about my husband. Since it’s the day after Valentine’s Day, I figured I’d dedicate an entire post to my husband. I am so thankful for him and I’m just going to share with the entire internet world all of the things I love about him.

1. He is such a servant. As soon as he gets a free moment to help, he is looking for things that need to be done. He takes care of the kids, washes clothes, and cleans the kitchen. And, when he decides to help with the clothes, he always asks if there’s anything that can’t be put in the dryer…….a major plus!

2. He is a constant support. I always know that he is there to help. When I need some alone time, I know that if he is able, he will be glad for me to go. There are even times that he sees my need for alone time before I see it, and he encourages me to go out by myself.

3. He loves my parents as his own, and even says that my Dad is the best man that he knows (apart from his Dad, of course.)

4. He protects me. He has always said that I can blame things on him if I don’t want to take the heat for it. I don’t usually do that, but knowing that he would do that for me means the world.

5. He’s spontaneous. I love that we don’t have to plan everything. We’re the type that like to get in the car and not know exactly where we are going. I love that we can be that way together.

6. He has a heart of gold. There have been 3 different times since we have been married that we have heard of a specific orphaned child/children, and he has instantly said, “Let’s take them, Lyra. We can do it.” All 3 times, the door has been shut before we can move forward. But, each time it has happened, I am reminded of his heart, and I love him even more.

7. He loves my little sister as his own, and when she was going through a really hard time in her life, offered for she and my niece, who was 2, to move in with us, without one bit of hesitation. We had a new baby, and he was unemployed, but none of that mattered to him.

8. He’s goofy, and even though I act like it annoys me, I love it. The kids love it, too, and I can’t imagine him any other way. He spends most of his time speaking in a redneck accent just to be funny. But, what’s so amusing about it is that he does it so much that people really think that is how he speaks.

9. He is not hindered by worrying about what other people will think. He has helped balance me in this area, and I am so thankful.

10. He is patient and gentle. I am always so amazed that he is able to have the boys under his feet while he is working on a project. He lets them “help”, and I know that they are going to learn so much from their Dad, just because he is willing to let them be there with him.

So, there is a small glimpse into why I love my husband.

 Oh, yeah, and his good looks don’t hurt, either.
