Happy Father's Day to My Husband!

Tomorrow is Father's Day and I will be celebrating one of the most amazing Dad's on the planet...my Husband.  I don't know that words could ever do justice to what my heart sees when I watch him with our Daughter.  How loving, caring and supportive he is with her and how he genuinely tries to be the absolute best Dad there is.  No, he's not one to spoil her (too much), but you can always see him soften even in those moments when she's being so out of hand that we can literally feel our hair turn gray.

I'm very Blessed to have chosen such an all around terrific and stand up Man for her to pattern her future suitors after.  She won't ever have to believe that it's ok for a guy to hit her, cheat on her, scream in her face or treat her like dirt.  If she does what most women do - find a guy like dear old Dad - then she will end up with an amazing Husband that will melt her heart as her Dad does mine.

Her children will have an awesome Dad who will even after a long day at work, take their children by the hand and walk them around the block just because they want to push their little dolly stroller, a Dad who will read them stories, carry their kids to bed, put their Daughter's hair in ponytails, dress them in pretty dresses and one who will climb, run and play ball with and teach them that they have no limitations to the things they can do.  Her choice in a partner will be a Partner to her and her children and he will handle the position with the utmost care, patience and love.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, CHAD!  Thank you for being the Perfect Man for me and for our Daughter.

Men: It All Begins with a Smile

My friend, John, as usual, got me thinking about the topic of Men and their smiles, again.  If I haven't blogged about it before I know that I posted about it on Facebook.  I can not stand when Men take photographs, especially with their Woman, and they don't smile!!!  Makes me mad to no end!  Anyway, I've noticed that almost all the Men (for the sake of one I recently met) hardly ever smile.  What gives, Gents?  Is life that stressful that you can't smile?  Are your smile muscles broken?  Or are you just sticks in the mud until a pretty girl walks by?  Yeah, oh yeah, I went there.

I will have you know, and yes, I'm talking to you all - that your smile, especially when a Woman walks in the room or you're talking to your Partner will either make or break our mood!  Yes, YOU and your gorgeous faces that you're hiding behind your scowls and mean faces can destroy how we interact with the world for the remainder of the day.  Sure, blame it on PMS, women just being women, or whatever it is that you men say about us, but understand this...I may not know about a lot of things, but relationships and Men are two things I do know.

I have been observing you ALL ever since we met...since the first moment of 'Hello' and I will tell you that every time I've seen you smile, it has changed my day - just imagine what it does for your Partner.  I've known a Man for many, many years and I can tell you that I have never seen him smile around his Wife.  He will smirk, but I have yet, to see him smile.  Another Man, it took YEARS - decades even, for me to see his smile and again, it wasn't until we were actually alone together that I got to see his great face.  I felt like I was seeing him for the first time.

I am fortunate enough to have been married to Men that smile, so I know that when a Man's smile goes away, it usually means that something is wrong - either wrong with him, us or a combination of both and Men, that's a very scary place for a Woman.

So, that's my advice for you Gents for today.  Take a moment, think about your faces and remember why someone fell in love with you and I will bet you a Snickers bar that when you smiled most, that's when she fell for you hardest.

Have You Ever Been in Love?

I can tell you that I have loved quite a bit more than I'm certain any one person should, but I suppose that's better than spending my life merely content with my position or emotions of the time.  In any case, I must say that I am truly in love.  This isn't a 'right now' kinda love, this is a sort of in love that happens even when the bad times happen upon us.

He truly is an amazing person.  Sometimes, I don't think he ever truly sees how amazing he is, but I do.  Every morning I wake up to his gorgeous face, his eyes that seem to change into the most beautiful of colors and the wonderful feeling that he's the great barrier between our Family and anything bad happening.  I feel completely protected by him.

I like to blog about my Husband, yes, the Man that I'm in love with...because most times, he doesn't even know I'm doing it and well, when he does, he looks incredibly cute when he finally happens upon my postings.  Anyway, what was I saying...oh, yes, he's amazing!

Darn, he just interrupted me and I lost my train of thought and the roll I was on...until next time...
