Why I Love Dan

My more local friends are aware of our new lifestyle lately. We've had to make some accommodations for the child I am affectionately calling our "Petri Dish Love Child". (Oh, c'mon. It's funny.)

I need a little humor right now because life is a bit on the challenging side.

I go in for weekly IV drips to help keep me hydrated. They're awesome, but they involve my hubby taking time out of his busy schedule.

And if that's not all, here's what else you'd observe about my awesome hubby if you were in our home:

- You'd see Dan single handedly raising Morgan in the evenings after a long day of work.

- You'd see him whipping up some quick dinner, first asking me if it would smell too bad for him to make. Eggs and toast?

- You'd hear him offering to sleep on the couch because he smells like onions to me.

- You'd see him making doctor appointments that interfere with his work schedule, but doing it anyway. Smiling.

- You'd see him quickly respond to my email pleas for Creme Saver candies. Sugar and sugar free. He picked them up on the way home.

- You'd see a lawn that needs a haircut because my husband is so dedicated to his family and job (out of town most of last week) that he can't quite get to it yet.

- You'd never see him complain or huff. Even in the middle of the night when I needed an orange creamsicle to keep down the yuckies.

So, here's to you, Dan... You're an amazing husband who shows me daily what it means to lay down one's life for a friend. I love you.
