This day, some years ago, the hubby was born. And where would I be without my hubby? He is a wonderful guy. He can be sensitive but don't get in his way when there is an important sporting event on (and for those of you who know him all sporting events are important but none as much as when the Dallas Cowboys, the OU Sooners, the Atlanta Braves, the OKC Thunder or any version of golf...heck if it is on ESPN or Fox Sports it is important!) I now know more about sports than I ever wanted to and I watch more than I really would like to. But, I digress. I just wanted to spend a few minutes thanking Eric for all he does. He is supporting my dream to finish my degree and when I say supporting I mean he is doing a majority of the household work. Cooking - he does most of it. Cleaning house - he does most of it. Laundry - you guessed it...mostly him. Yard work - sure as heck isn't me! Somebody needs his help? He drops everything and goes and helps them. Wife needs something sweet. He runs to 7-Eleven to get me something. Crazy, psychotic, near finals wife needs a good cry. He lets me and then holds me. (All together now...aww!) He kills bugs for me (I am perfectly capable but I wouldn't want to take his chivalry from him), changes my oil and fills up my gas tank, and makes the weekly menu and grocery list. And don't even get me started on how kids and dogs love him. When he came into my life he "stole" my doxie and my best friend's son from me...it's like I didn't exist anymore! I once mentioned moving to Pennsylvania to be closer to my grandparents and he said he could never leave his nieces and nephews. A wonderful family man he is. I cannot wait to have kids with him (first psychotic wife has to get through school) because he will be a great dad. And that is my ode to my hubby whom I love!
This is an older pic but a good one of him with one of our niece's and nephew's.
Not sure I know a bigger sports fan, also not sure I know a guy with a bigger heart. Happy Birthday Eric, and keep takin' care of that woman of yours--she's a keeper! :-)
