My Amazing Husband

Enough about me.

Every day, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world because of my amazing husband. I married my best friend. It's amazing enough that I have such a phenomenal man as a best friend, but the fact that I get to be married to him on top of that is just fantastic. He is the yin to my crazy. He is so balanced and down-to-earth: I'm in awe of him every single day. He has read all the books you are supposed to read: "How to Win Friends and Influence People" "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" etc, which is great, because I haven't read any of them and he is my cliff notes. He really understands the fundamental differences between men and women, and our relationship is wonderful partially as a result of that. Our communication is great. We hardly ever fight, which I think is largely due to how open and honest we are with each other. That and he doesn't get bothered easily: an ability I am trying to adopt as quickly as possible.

The only thing that sometimes bothers me, which is ridiculous, is the fact that there are times when I wish he would get mad, but won't. He is understanding, sometimes to a fault, and sometimes even when someone has wronged him and I'm about ready to (verbally) rip their head off, he somehow does this crazy thing called not getting upset. You know that saying, "Staying mad at someone is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die"...or something like that? Well, he is actually able to live by that. It is the healthier way to be, I just haven't quite been able to get there as quickly as he does yet. For example, there is a person who was in our lives who turned out to be completely duplicitous. Came across as butter wouldn't melt in their mouth, turned out to be a sneaky little evil rat. I am completely incapable of being nice to this person. My husband doesn't like this person either but, if needed, he is capable of being pleasant to them, whereas I can barely make eye contact. So, I guess this isn't something that bothers me so much as it is something that makes me jealous. If someone is a jerk, I need to just let it go faster, instead of thinking about it. My husband is so, so good at letting things go that don't matter. I hope to one day soon catch up with him.

What else can I say?...

Along the same lines, he is wonderful about weighing everything out from each side. He's never too quick to snap one way or the other: he always looks at everything from everybody's point of view.

He's extremely down-to-earth, and incredibly funny. He loves being goofy, and I love him for it. It's wonderful to have a partner who doesn't take life too seriously: it's serious enough, it doesn't need help. He's always there for me no matter what, no matter what it is: whether I need him or I need space.

He loves doing things around the house, which is both a curse and a blessing ;). I love that he wants everything to be perfect, but I wish he would just relax and enjoy it sometimes. I feel like we could move into a brand new house where everything is perfect, and he would find something to fix. It's actually really adorable. We were just staying at his Dad's house not too long ago, and he kept finding little things that could be fixed or upgraded: things his Dad didn't even say he wanted done, though he appreciated it once it was done. His Dad found it charming that my husband wanted to do all of these things to make the house better, as did I. There are days when I can feel myself fall in love with him all over again.

I know at this point you probably all need sick bags, but after writing all the crap about my chemical imbalances, it was high-time to write something positive.

I could honestly go on about my husband all day. Did I mention how incredibly handsome he is?? That part is just icing on the cake :).

He _loves_ his family, which is so important. That's one of the things that drew me to him in the first place. He treats them all with so much love and respect, which just makes me love him even more.

I'm sure I will want to write more things, but I will leave it here for now. We have been married for almost 2 months, and I look forward to still be writing about how wonderful things are for years to come.
