The Giving Thanks Post- Sunday Make up

Please forgive me for not posting on Sunday. Adam and I had the stomach bug. Needless to say it was a little dicey around here Sunday. We are better now.

I am grateful for Adam. I am not sure that "grateful" encompasses the depth of how blessed I am to be loved by this man.

I always knew he was different, one of a kind. But every day I learn more and more about just how blessed I am to be his wife. Adam has integrity. He does the right thing. He is loyal and faithful to his friends and family. He lets things roll off his back. He cleans. He cooks. He rather keep Noah at home than take him to school on his off days.

But the thing I am most grateful for and humbled by is his selfless heart. Adam works so hard to serve Noah and I. (As I speak/type he is giving him a bath while my feet are up) He never complains about work, or how tired he is, or says he doesn't feel like it.

As an adult I have seen that not all marriages are sunshine and smiles. Not all fathers share the burden of child rearing. And I am grateful for Adam that he works to bring as many smiles and as much sunshine to our life together as possible. That he not only shares in the daily tasks of parenting but probably bears more of the duties. I am thankful to be more in love with him today than I was five years ago when I married him.

I am proud of him as a son too. One of the things that father's desire for their son is to be responsible, trustworhty and loyal to his faith and family. I could not have asked for more. I am also thankful that he found a loving wife and of strong faith that is of one mind with him.

I can also make the same claim for Robin and Chris. I look forward to seeing them with a family. I fully trust that they will also be faithful loving parents that trusts God and brings up Baby E with the same devotion that you two show Noah.

LOve you all,
Puddin
