5 Things Music Man Did For Me This Past Week

I read an article today talking about focusing on the positive things in a marriage and a suggestion to list 5 things your spouse did the past week for you. Here is my list:

1. Took me out to dinner when the smell of the stuffed peppers I made were making me horribly nauseous. (Miss Goofy and the Cranky Old Man loved them by the way.)

2. Built a wonderful desk/computer area for us in our bedroom. Now we can be much more comfortable in the evening when we're working and can sit right next to each other, enjoying each other's company.

3. Helped me cut up veggies and meat for a breakfast casserole that we enjoyed on Sunday morning. The ingredients had to be prepared the night before and go into the crock pot. Music Man was tired and needed to sleep but he helped me instead.

4. Raved about how nice the bedroom looked yesterday after I cleaned and organized our new desk.

5. Stayed up late on Friday night just talking and giggling with me. When it was time for us to go to sleep he held me close all night.

I know it's all little stuff but it's in the little things that we show our love and appreciation for each other. This is fairly simple to do, try it and you might realize all the little things we take for granted.

The 5 things that my Baby did for me last week...

1. Reminded me to call my Uncle. She even found the number for me.

2. Shopped for and made several delicious meals and even changed the recipies to get me to eat my veggies.

3. Talked to me. I get so lonely sometimes even in a crouded room I can feel all alone.

4. Paid the bills that I asked her to. (Even though I don't remember asking her to pay bills. - It's a good thing that one of us remembered...)

5. Kept me in company and beer while I was working on her desk despite large amounts of cussing due to several design changes...

6. She forgives me even when I am an ass to her...

I love my Baby...
