I just wanted to express my gratitude for my husband. I realized I haven’t done it on a blog for awhile. I think the more time your marriage goes by, you get used to things and start to take things for granted. And when you’re newly weds, you do it more frequently but it’s easy to let it fade away and focus on what they don’t do instead of the many wonderful things they do do.
So here are just 8 out of like 800,000,000 reasons why I know I’m so lucky to have Jay as my husband.
1. He vacuums. Like all the time. I think this year I’ve vacuumed 2 times to be exact.
2. He does the laundry. Like all the time. I usually fold them and put them away(Jay helps most of the time with that too). I think this year I’ve put the clothes in the laundry 2 times. to be exact. Okay, don’t go thinking I’m a horrible wife, the reason why I hardly vacumn or put the clothes in the laundry is because I gotta vacumn with Ana in one arm or she freaks out and carrying the clothes basket down the stairs to the basement with Ana in one arm-or her freaking out is just too much.
3. He pays all the bills and files for return taxes. I offered to pay the bills and he let me for one month but he just took it over without any discussion. He kind of likes to be in control. π Which I don’t mind at all haha.
4. He SOOOOOOO wears the pants. But it’s because I trust his judgement and his decisions and he’s so wise. Also, because I let him be. But we all know I’m the neck that controls his head. π
5. He is a handyman. He just fixed our washer tonight! He took it apart and found some clumped up socks in one of the pipe things (I so know the mechanic terms of the washer can u tell?) and it would’ve cost us $250 to have someone come fix it. But this is nothing compared to what he can really do. Have I mentioned he built 3 houses with his dad all from scratch? Everything from plumbing, electricals, the works. Not to mention he renovated our house without ever hiring anybody and saving us a PLETHORA of $$$?
6. He feeds Ana at every dinner so that I could eat. Adi eats kind of, sort of well by herself, but Jay even makes sure she’s eating well and has enough food on her plate. Ah, this one is making me tear up. I just realized I’ve been taking this for granted.
7. He is hilarious. And makes me laugh ALL.THE.TIME. Even though he makes trouble to me and teases me constantly and I feel like I’m in 2nd grade where a boy that likes you makes trouble to you all the time, I know he only does that to people he likes and since he does it to me ALL.THE.TIME, I guess that’s a good sign.
8. He is SO HANDSOME. And SO funny. Some girl even told his co-worker not long ago about Jay that “he was the best looking dad she’s ever seen in her life.” Yes honey, DAD is the keyword dear. It means he’s married, taken, not available! Shesh. ^ ^ And I know I’ve mentioned funny on the previous entry but it’s not easy to find a guy that is good looking AND funny. My theory I tell my friends is that most good looking guys aren’t very funny, it’s the not so good looking, maybe sometimes chubby guys that are funny. The average-Joe knows he’s not the best looking and can’t rely on his looks to get a girl so in order to attract girls, he needs to make it up in another department so he uses his humor to get girls. On the other hand, the good looking guys know they’re good looking and they don’t have to work to get girls, girls just flock to them just by them sitting pretty. Am I right or am I right? π But seriously, isn’t that true? And of course there are exceptions in all cases, like my husband. I guess I got the best of both worlds, whoop whoop!

aaww this is such a sweet post! It is funny how you notice the bad things more the longer youΒ΄ve been together and tend to take the god ones for granted. I sometimes feel bad about it and then I tell Yc why I love him so much and it feels so good to think about all the things he does for me π

Yeah I think one thing everybody has in common is that we all want to be loved, accepted, and appreciated. Thanks for sharing your insights! π

I don't know if he knows it, but Jay is super Asian, just look at the way he squats down to play with the kids. Only Asians do that! Yet another reason to be grateful! π
