The perfect night in.

So, I don't know how to tell this story without sounding braggy. Perhaps I should keep it to myself but here's the thing... I am not good at expressing myself in person and if I don't write it down he won't know how amazing he makes me feel. So either bear with me or don't read on. What I mean is that it is hard for me to show how happy/sad I am, probably because of pride. Whatever the reason this means that I have a hard time showing how much I love my husband to my husband. When he comes home from a business trip I am so excited to see him. I count down the seconds till he is home and when he walks through the door I am bubbling inside with joy. I am not, however, effusive and though I want to run and jump into his arms (which would make him so happy) I can barely manage more than a smile. What is wrong with me? Probably a lot. I am not good at expressing my feelings in person, I am however good at expressing them in writing.

We got home later than expected from our trip to AZ. We avoided the 5 hour delays on I-25 between Colorado Springs and Denver by taking Highway 83 (Parker Rd) all the way up. Nevertheless it still put us into Denver later than we expected. You can imagine after two days of traveling in the car with three crazy boys, how hungry I was to be away from them. I know that's harsh but Cole teased Finn 90 percent of the car ride and Finn's response was to scream in this high-pitched girly voice.

We got the topper unloaded, the trash out and the walks shoveled and then we put the kids into bed. Then Josh and I headed to bed where we watched "Hancock" on his computer and enjoyed sushi (which I can't get enough of since I am no longer preggers). Then Josh turned to me and said, "I want you to know how much I appreciate what you went through to bring our children into this world. Not just the labor and delivery but the months of barfing. I wanted you to know how much you mean to me so I got you something." He then pulled out a small brown and green box. Inside was the most gorgeous diamond ring. The man who HATES jewelery and everything it stands for bought me 2-carats woth of pave diamonds in the most unique and beautiful setting. And he did it just because. The ring is awesome and something I could never buy myself. I feel so glamorous doing anything and everything. I went to Walmart in it, pumped gas in it and even changed diapers in it.

I really don't know what I did/do to deserve a man like Josh. He's not perfect but he tries to be. I love my life with him and will endeavor to show him that more often.
