i love my husband.

my precious kevin has made me smile this week when i didn't think it was possible. i have had a rough week...emotionally, spiritually, and physically. there are a lot of difficult changes going on with my family. my parents, after being separated for almost 2 years now, have decided to go through with the divorce. i wasn't completely surprised when i heard the news, but that didn't make it any easier to accept. the whole situation is a mess and there are many factors that are making it quite ugly. i am communicating with the both of them, telling them how i am feeling with all of this, while loving them at the same time. it is not easy.

with all of the drama with my family, kevin has always been right by side. he has given me comfort every time i get off the phone with my parents and i am an emotional wreck. he has wiped every tear and has comforted my heart. he is always encouraging me to speak my mind. he gives me affirmation when i need it most. God has blessed me with an amazing man. kevin never fails to fill my mind and heart with God's truth. he definitely keeps me from falling apart. i am so grateful to have a husband who loves and cherishes me. i don't take it for granted for one second that i have a man who wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his life...with me.

to throw into the mix, we are in the process of trying to have baby #2. for me, that brings so many emotions. i am constantly thinking about it and it is even keeping me from getting good rest. its so different for the woman because its my body, plus the waiting and expectations can really drive me crazy. God is reminding me that every day is a new day...that keeps me going. i was a little depressed, well a lot depressed, and kevin knew i could us some cheering up. today he surprised me with a cherry limeade from sonic. he knows me oh so well! what a perfect surprise.

look at my hot husband!
i have to give him props too for always coming home from work and helping me in any way he can...playing with kyri (top priority!), cleaning up after dinner, giving kyri a bath, and helping with the bedtime routine. last night he went above and beyond and made dinner! i got out what he needed for grilled cheese and tomato soup (trader joe's creamy tomato soup...the best!). i also got out the grated parmesan cheese and said, "this is really good sprinkled on the soup." i come into the kitchen and he had sprinkled the cheese on the buttered bread before putting it in the pan. the grilled cheese had a cheesy, buttery crust and it was amazing! note...my husband NEVER cooks. not only did he make us dinner, but he discovered a fabulous tip to make grilled cheese even better! he got a nice little pat on the butt for that one.

kevin...i love you. even in the midst of the bumps in the road, you always know how to make your girl smile :)
