Realization

Ok, I thought of something.

Today, we had a blow out! Nope, not Harlee, our house! It was so hot today and Harlee was so angry that I finally made Jeremy call his parents to see if we could barrow there ladder to get the swamp cooler up and going. He was not up to it at first and we had some words, well, I had some words. And I can get so ornery and obnoxious with him sometimes. Anyway, we got the ladder, he turned on the valve and... "Uh, Jeremy. There is water coming into our house!" So we tried to see if we could get it to stop by doing a few things, and I realized that the water was not only coming from the opening of the swamp cooler, but also out of our light switches, and the ceiling! So Jer ran and shut the water off completely. Man it sucked! But Jeremy crawled up into the "attic" and found the leak, then he ran to his parents house to get an extension cord and a fan and then was up there for like an hour getting water cleaned up and the fan going.

So here is what I'm getting to. I love my husband! Like, a whole bunch. He puts up with my screaming and nagging and then just gets things done. Did I mention that he also made Sunday dinner today? Actually, he usually makes Sunday dinner. I know that there are those moments when I get frustrated with him and upset, but really, he is so wonderful! There is no one on this earth that could love me like he does. He does all he can to make us happy and he is such a good Daddy. I always wonder how I got lucky enough to get Jeremy, but I am so thankful I did.

So I tricked you all a bit. I bet you thought this was going to be some kind of life lesson learned from the swamp cooler incident, but really, it is just a shout out to my awesome hubby. The whole swamp cooler thing just helped me remember that that's exactly what he is.

I REALLY LOVE YOU JEREMY!

Thanks for the reminder that sometimes you think you can't live with them, just to turn around and realize you can't live without them. Yea to husbands who put up with us wives and yea to use for putting up with them. It's a good balance.
