My Husband

I know my husband would kill me if he knew this was up (good thing he hates blogs and therefore never reads mine!). I cannot resist to describe the reality of my life. Matthew and I are blessed with children. He, however, is not so blessed to work the night shift (10pm-4am). I work as a teacher (7am-4pm). Now, some might think this could work easily... that is, until they realize that he watches the kids in, somewhat of a "Daddy Daycare" situation.

He wakes up with the boys at 7am when I go to work and might, if he is really lucky, get a nap in during the time he is with them. I get home at 4pm and we have a fifteen minute chat until he has to go to sleep. He goes to bed and wakes up at 9pm to shower and shave before work. He leaves for work and returns at 4am to eat and get an hour of sleep before it starts all over again.

Some might think, "Whoa, what a devoted father and husband"... but the story does not end there.On the weekends (his one time to sleep a full 7 hours), he usually wakes up and wants to hang out with me! Lucky girl, I am! He actually chooses me over sleep, his friends, his music (which I know he loves dearly), and anything else... this is why we work. He puts me number one on his list and I put him just the same on mine.

I am more lucky than anyone can imagine... But it doesn't end there!

My husband is agnostic (he knows that he doesn't know), yet he takes myself and our children to mass every Sunday. He also works hard to understand my views on life and reproduction and follow them for my sake... if that is not true love (sacrificing for the good of the other), I do not know what is.

He is the best man in the world... I won't post this to facebook because he is a humble and modest guy, but I will tell whoever reads this, girls should strive to get what I have got... Love
