My journal challenge for the month of April, date 15 (a little late) is husband

He's my best friend.  The most gorgeous man I've ever seen. He is the person I can go to grumpy as all hell and he'll open his arms and hold me until everything is okay again.  He doesn't need to say a word to make me better, just opens his arms.  He's a man I'd do anything for, anything.  You take the good with the bad and that is a relationship.

What bad could there be you ask? Well, sometimes, his farts are so bad, I have to turn the fan on high and blow it back to him.  Or retaliate.  He turns into the tickle monster and I get attacked until I almost pee myself.  But, fate played a trick on him.. he's more ticklish than I am. hahaha  Sometimes, we plan to clean up a room to ditch old crap, and get side tracked and feel that spending our time doing something else, fishing, cuddling, walking, riding our bikes, is more productive than worrying about a silly room.

My big task this weekend is to make a little space and donate the clothes that don't fit me.   Besides, spring is here and I need to get all my winter stuff put away, preferably in the attic.

He even loves me in the morning!!  Every morning it's the same routine. Me dragging my butt out of bed and away from the warm snuggly arms of my husband. But I do, and then sit on the edge of the bed grumbling at Julie Wright because of the traffic report, or whoever is giving the weather for the day.  Then I hobble to the bathroom, wash my face with ice cold water and brush the chicklets.  Weigh myself, get mad and grumble back to the bedroom.

Just before I leave, I kiss him good bye and my cute sleeping Italian rolls over and NEVER fails to tell me how beautiful I am, and that he loves me, and to drive safe.  I love that about him.  Sometimes, when I'm really tired, he will call me to keep me awake as I drive to work.  The meds I take make me so sleepy, it takes a long while to wake up.  Especially if I get less than 7 hours of sleep.


I think when he cooks, it's the best ever. I can't match his pork chops and I give up on getting my chicken to taste like his.  YUM YUM.  He's a great cook and I'm learning a lot about Zacs special diet and try to make things for him that are special, like these corn muffins. He loved them and they're int he freezer in case he wants another some day.

We're going to Assateague island for the week Memorial Day.  The first and second night will be on the beach right next to the ocean!!!  I cannot WAIT for this to happen.. then packing up and going Fort Whaley, the first place he and I camped when we were dating.  I loved it there most of all because that is where we went for our first getaway. We'll be there Thursday - Sunday and coming home. Monday is off day just so I can relax and clean up a bit.  Just so excited!!!

He takes really good care of me, reminding me of my medications, going with me to my oncologist appointments so I don't have to hear bad news alone, and if' it's good.. we celebrate together.

I could go on and on about why I love my husband but he makes my heart light and puts a smile on my face every day. I love you darling. always.
