Last night at Target I was having a moment. I was just trying to get all 5 of us in and out alive, with a new shirt for Lex's school pics and some coupon freebies. My kids are usually fairly well-behaved in public. I routinely take them all to the grocery store with me and the 4 of us will walk out with smiles on our faces. This was not one of those times, though. While at the check out, Lex was begging incessantly for a yoyo ball, Abe was fiercely grabbing every pack of gum from the shelves within his reach and Tobes was SCREAMING the toothbrush song from Veggie Tales at the top of his lungs.
Then my husband did something magical. As we walked away from the cashier, he told me to go buy something for myself at Starbucks. We've been so good with our penny-pinching lately that my Starbucks habit has been replaced by the coffee machine in my kitchen. Eric knows I miss it. He loves me. And he knew I was having a moment... that was turned into a beautiful moment by my first pumpkin spice latte of the season!
Having a husband who knows me so well is way better than a dozen roses.

aw. i heart you guys. And...my hubby knows that a small coffee with cream from dunkin donuts is my love language. And it has to be small....in the paper cup. yep, i'm weird. But he knows that the simple thought of picking me up one of those and brining it home will make me squeal with delight more than receiving a blue box on christmas morning.
having a husband who gets us is sure is nice.
Couldn't agree with you more. Eric is a perfect mate for you & what a GREAT example he is every day, in so many little ways modeling what it means to be a man & a husband to your kids. They'll have a brilliant picture of what a godly husband looks like & think how high Lex's standards will be when she chooses a mate some day. Beautiful.
