Mein Liebschen

Lately I have been feeling extremely grateful for my husband. He does so much for Emma and me, and asks so little (if anything) in return. He doesn't complain, he's not high maintenance, he's not fanatical about anything (you know like the over the top never does anything else but talk about, watch, or play sports sports fans), is a great cook, is handy around the house, is an awesome dresser (seriously - he's the nicest dressed man I know), is an adoring father, and a terrific husband. He's supportive of anything I want to do, and always puts my happiness ahead of his own. He's smart, spiritual, patient, funny, and hard working. He's also an excellent teacher. He loves the outdoors as much as I do (probably more), and is always game for camping or hiking or tennis or whatever. His absolute favorite thing to do is just spend time with Emma and me. Seriously, he's at his happiest when he's playing with Emma (unless it's her Pretty Pretty Princess game for the 10th time - I get really sick of that one too). I love watching the two of them play. It just makes me happy. I could easily fill volumes with good things about him. Don't worry, I won't do that here, but if you ever want to hear more awesome things about him (and I know you do) just call me. =)

I didn't do a post on his birthday because I was (hee hee) in California going to Disneyland. Aren't I a good wife? Every year right around his birthday (October 6th) Disney releases another one of their movies. Many times I've wanted or needed what they've released so I'll buy it. I can't really use it as a present for Eric, so it's always been this joke between us that I buy myself a present for his birthday. Well, this year I didn't need the released movie, but not wanting to do without a present myself I decided to just go to Disneyland. It's the time that worked best for my mom and sister, and he's so unselfish that he wanted us to go even though it was his birthday. We celebrated before, but I never mentioned anything about it here. So happy belated birthday honey! I love you.
