I was in a meeting today where the Stake President suggested we read this article on lds.org called Today's Family: Love Your Wife. So tonight as I sit in air conditioned comfort I read this great description of Jacob, while he is at our steamy hot sauna of a house, getting ready for bed, opening windows, circulating air, and trying to make it comfortable enough for us to not die as we hang out at home tomorrow while our new A/C unit is being installed. Just about the epitome of the husband being described by our church leaders as one who puts my interests above his own. He's also great at "keeping alive the spirit of romance" and shows his love in word and deed. He lifts my burdens so often, I don't know that I could do this motherhood thing without his support. With him taking the kids on a walk when I need a little quiet time, being my third and fourth arm when I can't juggle it all, and being my masseuse when lifting kids all day makes my back sore, I really appreciate all he does. I really don't know how single moms do it, and they have my total admiration for all they manage to do, but I'm fairly certain I would end up in a mental health facility some days if I didn't have my hubby around to lift my burdens and share the load. I'm thankful for a good man to be my husband and my kids dad.
As I often say, Jake, you're the best hubby I've ever had! (And the fact that you're the only hubby I've ever had doen't make it any less true.) Love you! Thanks for being awesome!
