Kim is right about setting the mood for the rest of the evening, when he comes homes I always try to be very excited and give him a big hug and it always puts him in a good mood, especially if he's stressed about school.<BR/>Sharing a car has brought us really close these past couple of months, for one it helps us communicate our plans to each other and it also adds a lot of time spent together in our day, it takes work to get along and sacrifice if we have conflicting schedules but it's worth it at this point in our lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-55038946065301290802008-02-08T14:49:00.000-06:002008-02-08T14:49:00.000-06:00I am very very lucky!!

We run away together everyday for alone time.<BR/><BR/>God really reminded me recently how great I have it. My friend and her husband are having problems and she said that she didn't even feel like they had a friendship. It broke my heart. I got on my knees and Thanked God for the gift he gave me when he picked Craig for me. God First!!

One thing I have made a point to do from time to time is tell him thank you for going to work. He has gone to a job day after day that he doesn't even like because he takes responsibility for his family very seriously. It's something normal that everyone does, so it's hard to remember to say thank you for it, but it means so much to him when I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-50937066805033003762008-02-07T19:22:00.000-06:002008-02-07T19:22:00.000-06:00Teena--you've got a good one there---LISTEN to him...Teena--you've got a good one there---LISTEN to him! ;)Robin Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453257548258134246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-69895664479494038532008-02-07T19:09:00.000-06:002008-02-07T19:09:00.000-06:00Don't let mountain man fool you....He's my best fr...Don't let mountain man fool you....He's my best friend...He treats me like a queen.

I doubt he could've imagined going to art galleries before he met me. ;)Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951866190296861286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-34739310914092595872008-02-07T11:12:00.000-06:002008-02-07T11:12:00.000-06:00JT#1 CAN I GET A SHOUT OUT!JT#1 CAN I GET A SHOUT OUT!Natalie Witcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988758152929370388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-30054747747517641232008-02-07T11:10:00.000-06:002008-02-07T11:10:00.000-06:00I agree.

We are best friends and actually feel bad sometimes for our boys that we like to be together so much! Ha ha. <BR/><BR/>We were married six years before Noah arrived. We desired children sooner but it didn't happen. I think having those years really developed a solid foundation for our family. When our boys leave home, we will not have to worry what to talk about or what to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-59251164775486150562008-02-07T08:55:00.000-06:002008-02-07T08:55:00.000-06:00I learned from my mom that when your husband comes...I learned from my mom that when your husband comes home from work, it's wise to stop what I'm doing (cooking, cleaning, kids, etc.) and acknowledge he is home with a SMILE -- a smile really goes a long way in setting the tone for the rest of the evening.<BR/><BR/>Good thoughts today, Robin!

While we don't always enjoy the same things, it gives me joy to participate in things that he likes. <BR/><BR/>He loves it when I get into the football game, watches UFC with him, or plays the WII. This is his love language, spending quality time with him doing things that he enjoys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-86466576821543016322008-02-07T08:40:00.000-06:002008-02-07T08:40:00.000-06:00That is awesome!

I really look up to you and your husband as an example both in parenting and in life.<BR/><BR/>I challenge husbands to do the same. Take an interest in your wives and give her attention. Sometimes it is better to turn the tv off and help clean house or take your wife out. <BR/><BR/>My wife is the first to say that I spoil her, and I like it that way. She works her tail off...in-home daycare, homeschooling our child, and working around the house everyday. I appreciate every thing she does.Okie Food Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780250774198989836noreply@blogger.com
