little things.

Brian, Trey and I all just got back from a wonderful trip to California for Thanksgiving (another post in itself to come) to see my dad's side of the family. It was a great trip... but we got home and it was nice to be back in our house, our bed. I was exhausted.

I had spent all day yesterday working (yes, WORKING), and trying to get everything back in order from vaca, talking to clients, getting Trey and Brian ready for work/school, and going over to the inlaws for dinner and i was beat. I mean wiped.  To top it off I am having this incredible pain that is making breathing difficult for me and yesterday just all in all really sucked.
 
So last night after i'm all finished i'm sitting in bed reading. My girls are asleep on the floor in their beds, my son is ZZZ'ing away in his bed, and Brian is laying next to me, his arm curled around my waist and his head in my lap (i tickle his head when i read)... and as he dozes in and out, mostly out, he tells me... "Baby, you're my whole world" and then he's out like a light.  Sounds little. Sounds silly. But that one sentence rocked my world. So to have a minute to reflect on all that I am blessed with and to have it reinforced by a husband i have NO IDEA how i deserve.... that one sentence made everything i did yesterday totally worth it. Because everything i do - and have to "bear" is for those two handsome men in my house that i couldn't live without.

I know i'm one of the lucky ones. I know it everyday. My husband never yells at me or is angry -- he's NEVER raised his voice to me. He's never said a SINGLE unkind word.  He is loving and supportive and is everything a husband should be for a wife that probably doesn't deserve 1/2 of how amazing he is. He isn't perfect, I'm not niave enough to throw that out there, but to have someone who genuinely loves me all day everyday -- who tells me on the daily that he thinks i'm beautiful, that he can't keep his hands off me, and that is proud of everything i do, HE makes everything worth it to me. The late nights, the early mornings, the stressful days, the sad days.  That man that i get to claim as my husband is simply amazing. The best part though is that i KNOW deep down in my bones that those are just pretty words he says to get me in the sack.  He means them. Everyday i can feel how much he loves me and cherishes our relationship.  To have that, to know that at the end of a stressful day i have him and he has me --  i don't know how much more perfect it can get.

And all this -- from one silly little sentence. <3 nbsp="nbsp">
