Thankful

Some people are really good at posting what they are thankful for every day this month.

I am lazy.

But I decided a grateful post here and there would help you all see how incredibly awesome and grateful and humble and wonderful I am.

I decided to do it because this morning and I am just overflowing with gratitude for this man..

Right now I am laying bed while he is at church because I felt too sick to go. He, however, woke up super early to go over to the church hours before church started to shovel the sidewalks with the Elders Quorm. Then came home just to give me a kiss and headed back. He is selfless and so patient. Everyone comes before he does.

I have not been an "easy" pregnant lady haha. I didn't think I was going to be, but these hormones, exhaustion, and sickness have really taken me by surprise in terms of how crazy it's been. I get home from work every night feeling like I want to die. Nathan is currently working full time AND going to school full time. But when he gets home, it's all about me and what I need. I am often grumpy and short and snappy with him and he takes it all in stride. Most days I want to punch myself for how ridiculous I am. I have no idea how he puts up with me.

Yesterday we made big plans to head out into the mountains after lunch and go on a drive and take some snow pictures and build a snowman and just have fun outside instead of being cooped up. But by the time we were done driving around, I was so exhausted I could barely keep my eyes open. I felt so bad because there was no way in heck I was going out to play in the snow. But Nathan was patient. He took me home and instead did the grocery shopping. When I woke up from my nap, the groceries were all put away and the apartment was clean. I wanted to cry. Everything makes me cry these days but I felt like this was pretty legit.

The other week I was on the phone with my mom talking about how crazy I have been and how steady and patient Nathan is. She said, "Wow, you really did marry the perfect guy for you, didn't you?"

And I did. I really, really did.

I like to brag, but of course my husbands not perfect.

But holy cow is he perfect for me.

I can't imagine going through this life and these past couple months especially, without his help. Without his back-scratches, massages, sweet words, acts of service, patience, faith, understanding, love, support, jokes and late night runs to buy me milk and Life cereal because that's the only thing I want to eat.

If you look up "stud" in the dictionary, Nathan's name would be there.

I am so grateful to have found the love of my life when I was just 18 years old, and to be sealed to him for time and all eternity.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am one lucky lady.
