Amy at
LivingLocurto is having "Meet My Husband Day". So, I thought I would post something about my hubby.
This is my very own Prince Charming. We met in December, 2000 through Yahoo Personals. If you knew my hubby you would say that he would NEVER, EVER place a personal ad. He told me that he decided to place the ad but before he pressed that final key on his computer to send it in he said a prayer that if there was someone out there for him that we would find each other. Only two women answered his ad. One was me and one was another lady he said didn't seem to have much personality. After chatting through IMs we found out that we lived less than 100 miles apart. Now we live in his grandparent's old farmhouse. If you take a right when you leave our house and drive something like 76 miles, turn left and go for about 8 miles, you end up right where I was living when we met. Like the distance between us back then, there have been very few twists and turns in our relationship. He is truly my soulmate. He understands me when no one else does. He's put up with my ADD and never complained. (But he sure is glad that I got help! ;) ) We've been married for 5 and a half years. Together we have six children....and one daughter in law! He is such an amazing father. He went from having one child to having 4 children when we married. My kids were 18, 16 and 5 when we married. His son was 10. Then within just a couple of years we adopted our first little girl from China, then a year and a half later we were back in China adopting again. Not many men would open their heart to that many children in such a short amount of time. He is "Daddy" to all of them. Some of them have other fathers......but he is daddy to all of them. Recently he was the Best Man at my oldest son's wedding. My son's father was there but it was my husband who was chosen to be his Best Man.
He is smart. Scary smart. It seems like no matter what anyone talks to him about, he knows something about it. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of South Carolina with a deree in Mechanical Engineering. (He's the person everyone calls when they can't figure out their kid's trigonometry homework!) Now he works for a large wireless company but he'd much rather be working on the farm or making something in his workshop with his hands.
He is an only child and his parents live right down the road from us.
He's been known to rewrite the lyrics of Jimmy Buffet songs and sing them to me to create the perfect song just for me.
He teaches Sunday school, sings in the choir and does an assortment of great things for our church anytime he is asked to help.
He has a great voice. He often hears that he should do commercials. Our oldest daughter works for the same wireless company. She has to call a specific phone number to verify if a customer's phone is working. My hubby did the recording for this line. She proudly tells her customers "That's my dad" when they comment on the nice voice they hear.
His favorite cookies are his mom's homemade gingersnaps.....and he puts cheese on them while they are still hot. (yuck.)
He wakes up all of the kids every morning before school. He carries both of our little girls to the living room and snuggles them down in soft blankets in their favorite chairs and he makes their breakfast and our coffee.
He is a member of
The Men's Fraternity. He works diligently at serving God and being a good husband, son and father.
He loves me. I'm a lucky girl. :)
I can not begin to tell you how much I love this man.
She picked out her own clothes. Her sister seems mildly amused. She insists that she looks fabulous in this darling ensemble. I think she is just about as cute as can be. Watch out Kimora! There's a new fashion diva on the horizon!
I made matching shirts for all of us to wear Christmas morning. The girl's shirts all said "Official Santa Stamp, North Pole 2008 NICE". All of the boy's shirts said "Naughty". It was so much fun to see everyone in their matching shirts and sweat pants!
My baby boy. Oh my word but I do LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this little boy! :)
Hubby's favorite Christmas movie is "A Christmas Story". I just had to make this shirt for him to wear Christmas Eve. He loved it!
My only nephew. He is a sweetie pie!
Daughter and someday son-in-law. ;)
Our local Christmas parade.
Picking up pine cones to use for crafts before the parade.
She sang "Jesus Loves The Little Children" in her school's Christmas program. Of course, she was asked to wear one of her Chinese outfits.
Notice the white cowboy boots on my little angel.
We wrapped it up and made a BIG, BIG deal about this being their first Christmas gift of the year. They were so excited when they opened it!! Their daddy sat down with them and told them all about Baby Jesus and read the Christmas story from the Bible. 
We let them know that this was a very special toy and that after Christmas we would put it away and that next Christmas we would bring it out again. They have already asked several times if it is time to get the Baby Jesus toys out yet. I plan on having the whole nativity set out on the coffee table when they wake up the day after Thanksgiving. They will be so excited!
I don't think the mats compliment the photos or frames. Does anyone have suggestions on something that would look better?
