What Would I Do Without YOU?!

Today while I was doing homework, I was organizing my classes in some 3-ring binders, so I had to use a 3-ring hole puncher. Well, I couldn't figure out how to use it (only because it kept getting stuck after I punched the holes); so of course I turn to my wonderful soon-to-be husband to ask him to help me. To no surprise the problem is fixed in 60 seconds or less. As I say "thank you honey", Mike replies with "what would you do without me". As I ponder the question I realize, honestly I don't know what I would do without him. He takes such good care of me and Braelyn and everyday I am more eternally grateful for the blessing he is in my life; especially because of how busy my life has been. My life is now:

1. Being a mommy to Braelyn (which includes breastfeeding)
2. Being a student at the U (part time)
3. Being promoted and learning new duties at work
4. Planning a wedding while still trying to lose the baby weight
5. Being helpful to Mike around the house

Is it sad that my responsibility to Mike is last on my priorities? I feel bad because I am being pulled so many different directions, there just really isn't enough of me to go around. Mike would never complain, but I definitely feel like I'm slacking. The poor guy works all day, comes home and watches B, cleans the house, and tries to do homework until I get home at 9:00pm.

So for some informative reading, I'd like to take a second to brag! I am so appreciative of him, especially when I come home and I see the dishes are done, Bella is fed, Braelyn is happy, or the laundry is in the washer (I could go on and on about what he does); the point is, he is more than doing his fair share and he always goes above and beyond his call of duty. For example, while my mom was here for Christmas, they were renting a small house instead of a hotel and Mike was over there waiting for me to get off of work so we could all have dinner together. Well, this happened to be the night that it snowed like crazy so it took me 45 minutes just to get there. When I pull up I see Mike outside shoveling the driveway, immediately I knew he was doing it "just because". I give him a kiss and go inside to hear compliments from everyone in the house about how Mike just got up, asked where the shovel is, walked outside and started shoveling. Then when he was done he shoveled the neighbor's driveway too. This is a testament to the kind of person Mike is and one of the many reasons why I love him. He is so amazing. Everyday I am just in awe of how lucky I am to be able to marry my best friend, and how utterly bewildered I am to have ended up with such a PERFECT baby with the one man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love him so much, he is going to make me one very happy wife; I just hope I will be able to be the wife I know he deserves.
