So, today I'm grateful for my love, Bradley. I know, sappy. But in all honesty I spent the better part of the day being mad at him. He did something that hurt my feelings and I was/am still a tiny bit mad. But you know, I never can stay mad very long, and trust me, sometimes I really try! Here are some things about Brad that I'm thankful for.

-He's always trying to make me laugh. Sometimes I think maybe he married me because I laughed at all his jokes...
-He's a hard worker. I've always known this and loved this about him.
-He's a dish washing extraordinaire! If I make dinner he almost always does the dishes. We have a little grill that I just hate washing he always washes it for me. Always.
-He watches chick flicks with me. (Sleeps through some, makes fun of others, but watches them nonetheless.) Sometimes he likes them!
-He serves in his church calling faithfully. In fact, he just got called to be the second counselor in the Young Men's Presidency. The boys love him.
-He listens to me. The man does a loooott of listening.
-He never raises his voice to me. Ever.
-He helps with parties and other things I sometimes have to do for work. He even fixed a shelf in the back room. My coworkers all absolutely adore him and tell me how lucky I am.
-He takes me on fun dates.
-He doesn't make fun of me when I cry over things that shouldn't be cried about, like boxing movies and such.
-He always thanks me for making dinner or vacuuming the floors or anything around the house!
-He let's me practice french braiding on his hair. (Well, not anymore, it's short now, but he used to.)
I really could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. It's funny how when you start thinking of things you're thankful for you can't stop. But the thing I'm most grateful for is that Brad loves me. He loves me so much that he married me in the House of the Lord. That he was worthy to take me to the Temple and still does. He honors his Priesthood and blesses our home with it every day.
I love him and I'm so thankful for him.
And I'm not even mad at him anymore.
Oh, how sweet. I too was annoyed with my darling husband yesterday but I came home from yoga to about 3 lbs of my favorite candy and all was magically forgiven and forgotten.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I'm excited to read your thankful posts. This one already inspired me to try to be more grateful for my eternal companion, even when I'm feeling more angry than appreciative!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't have a husband to be angry at. But this was just precious. Tender, in fact. Made me teary. I miss you both.
ReplyDeleteMade me teary too. Brad's the lucky one and he knows it that's why he's so good to you. You have an eternity go so try to overlook his weaknesses. Or try to politely correct them. Or do what I do...remember that Joel is putting up with my faults too.
