My Husband...

I absolutely, positively, without a doubt, LOVE my husband. He is amazing. He is also very lucky to have married such a tolerant, laid back wife. I don't know of many husbands who get to come home from work, and lay down on the couch and just watch tv all evening. Well, Mine does. And, he deserves it.

Anyways, enough mushiness....

Yesterday, I called my husband around 5:10, because I was getting ready to heat up the deep fryer and there wasn't any oil in it, so I wanted to find out exactly what to do, so I don't mess it up. He tells me, and we hang up. Then, about 5 or so minutes later (maybe longer) my phone rings and it is the husband. He says," I just totaled my car so I don't know what time I'll be home." I said, "What? Are you okay?" He said, "Yeah, I just totaled my car, I'm okay, I'll be able to figure something out after the cop gets out of my car." Well, the call went on and on and I finally felt like he was ok, and I was able to hang up. Then, I started bawling. Apparently, it was his fault, he rear-ended a guy, both cars were pretty messed up, but both of them were able to walk away from the accident. That doesn't happen often. Well, to make a long story short, JD had the car towed to the new house, and my father in law brought him back home. After he got inside, and before I could grill him, he took a shower, then made a few phone calls. Then, I started asking questions. One of the first things he said was...

"I am blessed."

What?!?! After a car accident, and now having no car, how can you be blessed?

He said, "I'm okay. The other guy is okay. I am blessed."

Wow. What a way to view a car accident. I'm sure I would be no less than panicked and crazy. I was no less than panicked and crazy, and I wasn't even in the other accident. But, that is my husband. Yes, he cares about the situation and the fact that our insurance will go up, and we had to get our other broken down car in working order, but he still has his faith in God, and knows he is being taken care of. He is content. He isn't worried or anything. He is calm, and content. I love him. He is definitely helping me keep my sanity. Especially with us in the middle of packing, and this crazy economy, this situation just wrecked my stress level, but my husband comes in and just eases my worries with his contentedness. (What a way to live the sermon that was preached to us on Sunday!) Anyways, I love my husband, even though he is turning me into himself. I consider myself a very lucky woman to have found my perfect mate, and to have found it in him! Anyways, too sappy?? I think so. I just made a cookie cake, so I'm gonna go eat while Logan and Kamryn are sleeping!

That's horrible... but I'm glad JD's ok. And what a great attitude for him to have! I don't know many people at all who could find good in a car accident!
