ode to my husband


My husband, Shane and I have been married for 13 wonderful years and I feel that I need to tell him thanks.
Thanks for being my confidant
Thanks for being the breadwinner
Thanks for toughing out PA school
Thanks for moving me back to Utah
Thanks for being silly
Thanks for being the best Dad to our two adorable boys
Thanks for being there during the process of getting our boys
Thanks for being my shoulder to cry on
Thanks for being the babysitter for girls night out, bunko, and various enrichment activities
Thanks for supporting my friendships
Thanks for spoiling me
Thanks for not caring when I don't feel like making dinner
Thanks for liking whatever I cook (I never hear a complaint)
Thanks for nurturing our marriage
Thanks for mowing the lawn-you know how it makes me cry to do it
Thanks for honoring your preisthood
Thanks for wanting to snuggle
Thanks for being level-headed when I am not
Thanks for taking out the garbage
Thanks for working on the basement
Thanks for paying the bills
Thanks for coaching Peyton in sports
Thanks for loving to go to the temple
Thanks for being you
Thanks for loving me because I am me
I am the luckiest girl in the world! I love you!

I Love this post, Ro. It's way to easy to keep these "Special Thanks" in our minds and our hearts, when really they need to be heard. Thanks for the inspiration to let them be known more often...

You two are such a cute couple (don't think I have ever met him). Isn't it wonderful to have a great partner and friend in life and to be in love?
