I often say that I married the best man on earth. And I mean it! I am constantly reminded of this because he never stops doing things that let me know how loved I am. I seriously think he would give his two legs if that would somehow benefit me. We often get the question, "How long have you two been married? You seem like newlyweds." And they are always surprised when we tell them it has been 6 years. We are super proud that we have held on to that special something. Not only do we absolutely love and adore each other but we still have so much fun together. There is no one that we would rather spend our time with. No one that gets us more than each other. There is no one in this world that is more perfect for me than this man. But let me just say that it hasn't always been perfect or easy but because we communicate so well and we make the choice to be together every single second of every day, we know that is all we will ever need...
Here are just a few examples (out of millions) of just how adorable Jake really is:
#1
Ok, Jake absolutely loves Filet Mignon. It's his favorite food and would probably eat it for every meal if he could. Don't get me wrong, I love a good steak but I don't think I have the same feelings as he does. :) One evening while Jake is preparing dinner, I'm watching him cut a T-bone steak that we are going to share and he is pointing out which side is the filet and which is the new york. I know that the filet is the most tender cut of beef, and one of the most expensive so automatically I know that will/should be Jake's portion. I'm not sure why Im surprised when he says, "No! That side is yours because its the best." I know that we are talking about a piece of meat but that spoke volumes to me. How many guys would do that??? He never seizes to amaze me!
#2
I often climb into bed at night wearing a shower cap to cover the protein mask slathered on my wet hair and an awesome retainer shoved in my mouth. Now I know I must look like Laura Ingalls and should just embrace it and throw on some britches while Im at it but Jake always grins and tells me how beautiful I am. Hahaha!!! This is either because he is blind or he really really loves me, and I like to believe its the or. Either way it's adorable and oh so sweet.
#3
I'm constantly opening my purse to find snacks that Jake has supplied me with because a) he knows I'm always hungry and b) when my blood sugar gets low I can't function and I tend to get ornery. The snacks might be just to prevent me from copping a 'tude but I know it's another way he shows me he loves me and he's always taking such good care of me.
