Best husband ever

Last night was tame, as always. Ty got home around 4:30 and gave Garett his last bit of zucchini and some banana for dessert, followed by a bath while I cooked dinner.

I whipped up some bacon and asparagus wrapped in phyllo pastry, chicken in a cream sauce and scalloped potatoes au gratin. Can I just say how I cannot get over never having used the mandolin-like slicer attachment for my food processor. It is so fast! I sliced 10 potatoes in 15 seconds--no lie. 

After dinner, we really just relaxed, and it wasn't long before it was bed time for all of us :) see? Tame!!! Lol

I feel like with all the pregnancy/childbirth/being an obsessive mommy madness I never talk about Tyler  anymore other than in a date night recap, to complain or to say what time he got home. But the truth of the matter is this man deserves a blog entry dedicated to him, and then some! Lol here are some reasons I literally have the best husband in the world:

1) he is my BEST friend. No joke, I tell him everything, we gossip, we share bottles of wine, we laugh at the same people, we communicate with looks, we joke around like a couple of Kids. When something happens, he is the first one I think of telling and the last one I care to tell! I can confide in him and trust him with anything and know he is one person who will not judge! He is a shoulder to cry on and an ear to vent my problems too...and you know what? He never complains and will always tell me exactly what I need to hear (or want to hear if that's what he thinks I need).

2) we have SO much fun together. I don't know how waiting in line to get blood taken or sitting in the hospital in pain after giving birth is hilarious, but we can turn any situation into something fun! I love him for being the type of man to agree to play go fish with me when I'm sick, or have a pig out night and watching movies or even agreeing to go along with my cheesy date day of the month ideas! He is such a blast.

3) he is so strong. Not only in the "omg who put this jar lid on and can you open it for me" kind of strong. But he is my rock. I know it is cheesy, but he is so strong as a person when I am not. He was amazing at the hospital when I was in labour and his protective side came out to play when it was taking forever and a half to get me some effing drugs. When he is faced with any kind of adversity he brushes it off and adapts. I strive to be like him. I want to not care what people think, I want to stand up for what I believe in...I do these things most of the time now because I learned from him, but he seems to do it better LoL

4) the way he loves me. He is the first to admit when he's wrong and apologize, the first to say I love you, the first to rub my back if I get overwhelmed and cry (ok this post is making me sound like I'm bipolar hahahah), the first to make me smile and give me butterflies everyday. He kisses me before he leaves everyday and he kisses me when he comes home. He tells me he loves me all the time, he compliments me, he looks at me with something special in his eyes that makes me smile and blush. We have our moments, like all married couples (I will admit its usually my fault because I'm moody haha), but we never go to bed angry--he is so good at resolving things. 

5) he is smart. He is motivated. He has goals. He achieves his goals. He succeeds. Could it be any sexier than having a man that wants to provide for you and can? My inner 50's house wife is fainting in satisfaction.

6) he likes the same TV shows as me...I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but have you ever tried to get along with someone that doesn't like to watch stupid reality TV ? Ok so he wouldn't watch it if I wasn't around, but he never complains when it's on and even gets into it with me when it is, throwing in comments! Lol

7) we both want to see the world. We want to try new restaurants, stay in nice hotels, take in broadway shows, dress up, sip wine for flavour,  drink out of the fountain of life. Lol

8) he loves Garett. I know it's his son and you expect that sort of thing, but it's beyond anything I imagined. He loves his daddy time and he is so amazing at playing the role. The love in Garett's eyes when he sees us is heart warming and I will know we absolutely succeeded at being a mommy and daddy if that look carries on through his life. 

9) he makes me feel safe. His arms are the safest place to be. I know when he is around, nothing can touch or phase me. He feels cozy, like home. His presence is safety. I don't know how else to explain it.

10) he is tall. He is handsome. He has nice shoulders. He has a wonderful smile with a sneaky dimple when he's really happy, he sings beautifully and plays a few instruments, he smells good, he drives a truck, he's super handy, he cam bbq, he knows a lot about cars, he is obsessed with cats too, he loves my cooking and baking, he doesn't roll his eyes at me (often lol), we have the same views on important things, we both love our families and each others, etc

I just want to clump everything into number 10 because I don't want to have to expand on 390000 more things. I think you get it by now. I love my soul mate. I love him more now than I did that thanksgiving day in 2007 when he first told me he loved me in my crappy basement bedroom, after all the ups and downs of the year and a half previous to that moment, we finally professed our love,  And if you ask me again in 50 years, I will somehow love him more :)
