Things I am grateful - Daddy edition

Undoubtedly this will humiliate him, which is just one of the many reasons I am grateful for daddy.

(Can I admit something to you?  Lots of times, when bloggers post pictures of their husbands, I feel like, "Woah, wait a minute.  THAT is her husband?"  I don't know if men don't come through well in pictures or something, but I always feel like random husbands on the internet look a little... well, weird.  Oh, and also when I go to a school function, and I'm used to interacting with all of these adorable, stylish women, who I assume are married to adorable, stylish husbands.  When I meet their husbands, it's always just, kind of like, woah.  ...Anyway.  That was a total side note.) 

There are cute husbands out there.  Like yours, I'm sure.

My husband is one of the stylish, cute ones, even though his face flushes red every time I post a picture of him here, because he has trouble seeing himself that way.  (Which is just another reason to love him.)

I am officially, terribly, disgustingly grateful for my husband.  

Here are some reasons why...


1. He writes me love letters.


2. He gives the girls a bath every night.


3. He believes that women are people, and he's a wonderful, feminist male role model for our girls.


4. He's soft spoken.


5. He has a (mostly) good taste in music.  (cough, radiohead, cough)


6. He's fun to watch TV with.


8. He lets me sleep in on the weekends.


 7. He lets me drive.

 
8.  He would do anything to make the girls happy.  Including letting Scouty paint his toenails.


9.  He's a total mathelete.


10. He's low maintenance.


11.  He pretended to be a doctor while we were waiting for Louisey to be born.


12.  He's super funny and says the funniest jokes in the world, all the time.


13. He never has anything bad to say, even when I get into a mood and end up shaving off all of my hair.

Also, he never spends money, like at all.

He looks like Elliott Smith sometimes in pictures.

He's sensible.

He is the total opposite of dramatic.

He keeps his sports liking to extra hours after I have gone to bed, even when he's so excited about the first football game of the season that I come home to find him wearing a Steelers jersey and swinging a yellow towel above his head.

He will go down the scary water slides, with enough prodding.

He dresses well.

He read the Harry Potter books even though it was like, against his religion. 

He always agrees with me when I start ranting about something.

Because he's smart.

And he's cute.

He can't sing, though.


The End.

  1. There is nothing wrong with Radiohead!

    And I hope that my husband does not fall in the 'whoa' category, unless that whoa means, like, Whoa, Heather's husband is ca-ute! And stylish. And good at beard-growing. And funny. And did I say cute? Yeah, totally cute.

  3. Heather, I wouldn't have given you and Justin that most attractive couple award if your husband was one of the total ugmos.

  5. Mine can't sing either, but yeah, he's also pretty awesome. I absolutely LOVE those pictures, especially the toenail polish one and the doctor one. But the love letters? You've posted a few snippets of either yours to him, vice versa, or both, and WOAH those absolutely take the cake. Yes ma'am, you have found a 'keeper'.

  6. The photos of him holding y'all's girls melt my damn heart. He is so lucky to have you. He IS stylish! My husband lives in basketball shorts and t-shirts but I find it endearing. He loves our baby more than himself, which is the thing I am most grateful for. Love you.
