Show my husband how much I love him more often.

a recipe book by Campbells. I’m already planning a welcome home dinner for my baby. And I gotta make it a healthy one but still tasty. We need to lose weight. I’m not letting him back out this time. I want us to have a REALLY LONG TIME together and we have to be healthy to do that.

I cooked my love dinner, even though we were at the car dealership until 8:30pm. And I cleaned up the kitchen and cuddled with him, cause I know he likes that, and just spent some time with him watching t.v. It was really nice. Then last night I did all his laundry from his deployment. He told me what I wonderful wife I was to him. It made me feel all tingly inside. :-)

for my baby while he’s away in Canada. He kept saying he wanted a new light fixture in the bathroom downstairs, which is “his” bathroom. He picked out everything for it. So I got the kind of light he wanted from my boss and put it up last weekend. Now all I have to do is touch up the paint around it and paint the trim and “his” bathroom will be COMPLETELY done. I really hope I get it done before he gets home. =) I want him to be happy.

when he’s being an asshole and treating me like a mother/secretary instead of a partner. We’re supposed to be equals so wtf does he think when he does this crap? It makes it hard to be the loving wife I want to be when I get treated like this in return.

I did a great job of this one this weekend. Not only did I clean the house and do his laundry, but I TOOK CARE of my baby….a lot! LOL I was really slow and sweet about it too, which is hardly ever the case. (=

I asked Matt to go to legal and get me a complete power of attorney so while he’s out to sea I can take care of what needs to be taken care of. And he works so much that it’s sometimes easier for me to deal with this stuff than it is for him. This will hopefully take some presures off him and make my life easier as well. Hope it works the way I want it to. (=

I got a call from Matt telling me he broke his finger while moving a RAM missile. FUN! So I went home and I gave him some Aleve and he took a shower and I cooked him dinner. Lasagna and garlic bread. (= Then we layed on the couch and watched tv for a couple hours. And after we got in bed he said his hand was hurting him more and I went downstairs and got him some Tylenol. I pampered him. I love my honey!

when he’s home with me. Because when we have a difference of opinions we can’t shrug it off, it’s right there in your face. But I’m trying really hard. We have a small problem of, when arguing/fighting, we cuss and name call. Not a healthy thing in a relationship. We’re fixing it though.

I’m doin better with this. I’ve been doing and saying sweet little things that I’m usually not so good at. I really want to get better at this. He does sweet stuff for me all the time and he’s very good with words. He even wrote me a poem. It’s so sweet. Here, I’ll copy it…

With Oceans Between Us
by Matt

In this tiny rack I lay
Sailing on a ship of grey
Gently rocking with a sway
That only the ocean provides

Thinking of you while lying here
So far away from any pier
The sounds of waves crash in my ear
That only the ocean provides

Closing my eyes to see your face
It won’t be long ‘til we leave this place
Like gusting zephyrs seem to race
That only the ocean provides

Loving so much the words you say
Soon I’ll be home from this underway
Anxiously awaiting that final day
That only the ocean provides

Soon I’ll be home to hold you dear
My touch will take away your fear
Like calming waters bidding you near
That only the ocean provides

Remembering how your kisses taste
A touch of velvet with lips of lace
Rushing atop waves with a quickened haste
That only the ocean provides

Now how many husbands write their wives poetry now days. I love him so much more every day. And these little things he does just make me fall even more. I have the best husband ever. =)

I’m so proud of my husband and I think I did very well letting him know and letting him know how much I love him. He made second. =) He is now FC2! Woohoo! He’s so smart.
