Driving to work this morning, of course emotional because that is just how I am right now- I got to thinking of my hubby. Every time he takes my car somewhere he puts an old country CD in the player and sets it on a song so when I start my car and head to work, I can think of him. This morning he had a very sweet song in there, not sure who even sings it- but just got to thinking how wonderful he is. So this blog is to him and I hope one day he will read it, he is prob the very last person who would read it now, lol. Growing up my mother really never dated anybody, she was too busy working and taking care of us kids. I really didn't know what relationship was supposed to be like until she married Dar/Papa. I will never forget a girlfriend and I came home one night after out on the town and those two were dancing away in the living room (apparently practising for a big wedding they were attending). But it was the cutest ever. I compare Anthony and I to them very much so- Anthony and I met in college, went through a very rough time but ended up in a one bedroom apartment where we helped each other struggle to meet our goals and dreams. I remember staying up late finishing homework with books and paper all over and for the most part he was playing video games or watching football (gimney how I hated football), lol. We got married, I graduated and worked my way up in banking. Anthony is now graduating and has worked and ran the same small business for almost 10 years. Crazy- he has so much dedication for that job. Anyhow, my hubby deserves man of the year- he is the daddy that would never drop his kids off at daycare on his day off, he would much rather be at home teaching Payton new things and soaking up his baby boy. He always has the house cleaned and dinner ready- last night roasted chicken, corn on cob and potato's, yep sounds good doesn't it! He is most def the husband that goes out of his way to find me the best presents, sometimes very unique but gosh that is what makes him so cute. He once got me this Angel with feathered wings that glow different colors when you plug it in, it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen- but by golly I plugged it in every night before I went to bed- lol. He is just a super sweet guy. He is the type of guy to call me about everything, if I send him to the store to get bread, I have to tell him specifically the exact brand and type or he will come home with the cheapest bread on the shelf. lol, most of the time he has to call me to make sure he has picked up the right item. I can guarantee most nights I can lay my head on his chest and he knows that means I want him to rub my back. Anthony is the all around guy anybody would be blessed to have. He is super handsome, super athletic and most of all the best family man I could have ever hoped for. He doesn't want big bass boats or huge monster trucks, he just wants me and the kids and wants to do for us. I tell him I want another baby and his answer is, "we will see, I want to be able to afford to take Payton to see the world", how sweet is that. I just love him so much and although our marriage is like most and he can get on my nerves, I am the luckiest girl alive to have him. Now when it comes to NFL season that is another story, no I am just kidding he has really been so much better since we have had the kids. It isn't as important now as it was before they came about, lol. Anyway, hope most of this blog explains how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family. Anthony and I had the greatest time together Sunday, we just cut up and held each other all day like we had just met. I sure miss him all the time. Life gets ahead of us and time flies when you are having babies and having fun, but I really super miss him and I miss late nights, watching "Friends" until our eyeballs fall out and eating late night bowls of cereal. Playing yahtzee and the entire time I knew he was cheating to win, lol- yep that is my Anth Mr. Competitive. I miss that so much. Great thing is I know one day we will have that back, sad thing is that means my babies will be grown :(.
Daddy's girl was happy to see me last night, I was starting to wonder and get sad why she was avoiding me, but I think it is because we spend so much time together. I have noticed she clings to the person that hasn't been around all day, so since dad was home with her all day yesterday and literally she only had a 45 minute nap- she ran right to me when I walked in the door, so stinkin cute. She is holding your hand now and pulling you to whatever she has been doing. Yesterday she pulled me to the books (go figure) she loves reading books. Bless her heart she is most def in the stage of not wanting to go to bed at night so it is about an hour fight every night to get her to lay down. It breaks my heart because Brayden is always awake at her bed time and I know she is prob thinking why isn't he going to bed too. I just love her.
Little man slept in my arms yet another time for hours before I could put him down. You hate putting them down when you have worked all day away from them and know that the same thing will happen the next day. Oh gosh how sweet he is, cuddles down in my arm and just sleeps away. He could be crying his eyes out and Anthony can bounce him, rock him, pat him and nothing works like handing him over to his momma. He is starting to blow with his tongue and make some cute noises while loving those hands ( i remember when pay went through that stage) they just stare at there hands and try so hard to get their entire fist in their mouth, lol. They are like golden hands. He has about grabbed his toes too, he is just so precious and I miss him dearly today. Miss them both.
