I love you because you understand that I am going to miss my sister and her family when she goes to Spain.
You listened while I vented at the fact that I am not able to see my sister as much as I wanted to during the conference. It was a rough morning with lots of tears on my part. You always have such a listening ear and understand that I do not want you to fix anything. I just want you to listen. I was fine after I talked to you and was able to go down and have a great visit. Yes, I did not get to see Jen but for a little while but the kids got to play most of the afternoon and I was able to have a good discussion with Michael and my dad.

I love you because you encourage me to do what I need to do when I really do not feel like doing it.
I had a headache all day. I really did not feel well at all. I even took a nap today which I rarely do. I knew I had to go grocery shopping as last Friday there was some bad weather that prevented me from doing it. I really, really did not want to go. You encouraged me and even allowed me to go by myself. You did not get upset when I called you and told you I had lost all the cash. You found the money and then drove it all the way into Fuquay to the store. Then you waited until I was able to load all the groceries in the van and put them away when you got home. I loved that. I had less to do when I got home from Walmart. Thank you so much for allowing me a rare night to myslef.

I love you because you let me go to church to hear Michael and Jen speak at the Missions Conference.
My parents Mission Conference started today. Jen and Michael were to speak today. I really wanted to attend but you had discussed going down there after we attended our own church. You allowed me to go to their church and you even stayed home with some of the sick ones so I had less kids to handle in church. Thank you so much for allowing me to go and hear them speak. I so needed to be there to hear what Michael and the guest speaker had to say.

I love you because you took the boys to football while I stayed home with the little ones.
Esther was still not feeling well so going to football as a family was not gong to happen. I was able to go to breakfast with Sam, Caleb, and Esther and Tirzah. It was great just having those 4 and spending some extra time with them. We had fun going to Target and looking around while prescriptions were being filler. I also gave me a little break and I was able to snuggle with Caleb and Sam while Tirzah took a nap. Thank you for taking the boys and spending some extra time with them.

I love you because you met me for the doctor's appointment I had for Nathan and William and I did not have to take all the kids in.
William has been complaining of neck pain for months now and Nathan wants to join weight watchers with me so they had appointments today. Our schedules finally worked out that you did not have a meeting. You met me at the doctor's office and watched the kids while I took the boys in. Thank you so much for being willing to do that for me. I love that you are always trying to go out of your way to help me out and make my life easier.

I love how you are patient with me when I am impatient.
I had another appointment today for the kids. It was Alex's turn with the neurologist. I had to take all the kids again but this time they were not as well behaved as yesterday. They were not bad, just bored. Yesterday I was able to let some of them stay in the van and watch movies. I could not do that today. Our appointment was at 9:20 and it was 10:10 before we were even seen. The kids were just stuck in a small waiting room with nothing to do. I was upset for having to wait that long and it made my day go downhill. I was just tired and my mouth still hurt from the filling yesterday. Esther was not feeling well either. She is a big help to me and she just wanted to lie in bed all day. The other kids did not want to help at all and that made me even more frustrated. I had to meet you at Tae Kwon Do and you were running late due to traffic. I remember being short with you. I got to go home with Esther and Tirzah and Caleb and rest so when you returned home I was in a much better mood. Thank you for being patient with me.

I love you because you are always checking on me when you know that I have things going on that are going to be stressful.
I had a dentist appointment this morning. I had failed to put it on the calendar. You had already planned a meeting that you could not get out of. I knew that I could not cancel. I made sure all the kids were going to be occupied and was going to try and go. You texted to see how it. I was able to tell you that the kids had been so well behaved. There was not one problem. I love that you were thinking of me and were concerned about how it was going.

I love you because you brought home dinner for just you and I.
I had a busy day due to the fact that I had to switch all the clothes from winter to spring. It was tough. When I was carrying Williams's clothes to his room I slipped on a ride on toy. I hurt my knee, back, and hip and ribs. I am really sore. Carl brought home steak subs for me and cheese fries. It was so thoughtful of you. I love you for always thinking of me.

I love you because you made Daniel's day by taking him out for breakfast.
It seems like sometimes the little ones do not get to do as much as the bug guys. You go out of your way to make the little ones feel special. You are always giving them hugs and making sure that they have some undivided attention each day, even if it is for a moment or two. You are such a good father to our children.

I love you because you removed the sticky jelly bean mess from our bedroom floor.
The kids had jelly beans the other day to celebrate Easter. The little ones found out where I had hidden them and ateQ quite a few. Some child decided to spit them out all over my bedroom carpet. Carl and I have been stepping on sticky jelly beans for a week now. I keep meaning to look up how to remove the residue but just never got around to it. Carl was ironing his pants this morning for work. We have a steam iron so he just decided to see if it would get the jelly beans up. It worked beautifully. I now have jelly bean free carpet. Thank you my sweet man for getting down on your hands and knees to do this for me. I love you.

I love you because you do not mind that I go down and visit with my mom and dad on the weekends you have army duty. I know that we have talked about me taking the kids to our church. I would like to do that but right now we still have three little ones who have a hard time sitting still in the service. Thank you for your willingness to give me a little bit of a break and visit my moms church. Eventually we will get to the pint where we attend our own church those weekends. I love you.

I love Carl because he is handy around the house and can fix the hole that is in my bathtub. Also, he did not get that upset about the water leaking into the bedroom carpet.
I let the two little boys and Tirzah play in the tub yesterday. There was no water in it but they were having so much fun just running their hot wheel cars up and down the sides of the tub. Unbeknownst to me there was an accident and a little hole was made in the side of the tub near the bottom. I did not see it when I filled my bathtub up that evening. We started noticing water on the carpet and could not tell where it was coming from. We thought it might actually be the plumbing itself and were getting upset at the thought of all the money involved. The water was still leaking out. We did not want to let the water out if it was plumbing. I had Esther turn the fan off in my room so I could hear what was going on. I bent down on the side of the tub and heard the water leaking out. I then found the hole. We were then able to let the rest of the water out while I plugged the hole with my finger. Carl had to spend the evening trying to get the carpet dry and putting a hole in the wall to see what water damage was done inside the walls. We put fans near the wet area and are hoping we caught everything in time. I am praying that the carpet and the floor and ceiling are able to be saved. My dear sweet husband had to spend the night on the floor with his sore knee. Tonight he has to go home and see what else he can do. I think he is going to take the shop vac up and then also try to patch the tub. I am so thankful for a husband who can do things like that.

I love you Carl because you took the kids to Tae Kwon Do last night while I took Esther to our Keepers meeting. It is so important for me to instill in her how to be a godly young woman. The Keepers meeting allow me to help her in this and I truly appreciate the sacrifice you made in watching Tirzah and Caleb last night. Thank you so much. Thank you also for encouraging me to go even when I was so close to not attending. You realize the importance of this task I have in leading her to what Christ wants her to be. You are a good Daddy to her.

I love Carl because he bought me a ring that fits.
For quite a few years now the weight that I have gained has prevented me from wearing my beautiful wedding ring. I had another ring that Carl bought me when he was deployed. It somehow turned up missing. For the past 2 years I just have not worn anything. I have been expressing the desire to have a ring again as I keep getting weird looks when I go out anywhere. Here I am with 8 kids and no wedding ring. This weekend we attended a car show in my parents town. The local pawn shop had everything half off since the car show was in their parking lot. We went in and looked around. I wanted something I could wear out of the store. The chances of finding a ring that fit were very slim. We looked for a while and I tried on a lot of rings. I finally found one that fit and I love it. It is a beautiful ruby and diamond ring and IT FITS. I am so happy to be wearing a ring again.
