days like this... gorgeous weather. a breeze through open windows across the house. late coffee on the patio. fluttering butterflies and birds chirping. the dogs playing and rolling in the grass, basking in the sun. my handsome husband and happy children. this slow and lazy sunday has given me time to reflect. reflect on love, life, and family.

in this moment, i am content.

i am thankful for my husband.
he frustrates the crap out of me sometimes.
he's stubborn as hell (as i sit here and watch him fight with a tent. he's losing).
he often forgets to take out the trash.

i see these traits in my youngest especially and i adore him for it. i have no concern that my daughter will know how to hold her own as she gets older.

he is also patient, and kind, and a genuine, humble man. i see these characteristics in my son and i know Cohen will grow up knowing how to treat people, and especially women, with love and respect.

he is a super, fantastic, kick ass dad and a devoted and loving husband.
he is creative and artistic.
he is great with words.
he is romantic and thoughtful.
he is a really good listener.
he's the most comforting shoulder around.
he makes me laugh every day.

he is my best friend. my confidante. the person i've chosen to share my life with and build my life around. he is my end all, be all and i love him for it. he's also pretty damn handsome.
