That is truly how real life is. Thanks for a great laugh.
Here is Heather's story
I have so many different things that I could share, but there are a few that are at the front of my mind.
After I had our second baby, I was really sick. Being sick put stress and strain on an already under slept mama, and I can remember 1 day when our baby was about 6 weeks old. My oldest was just barley 18 months old and we had had one of those days. All Mom’s know those days well. We’ve all had one. When my hubs called from work to check in with us, I was at my wits end. I told him through my tears that I just didn’t know if I could be a good my to two kids and how much I wanted to just go sleep for a while. I knew I would be better if I could just get some rest. About 15 minutes later, he walked in the door and sent me to bed. He didn’t wake me to feed the baby, he just made up some formula and played with the kids to keep them happy. I look back at it now and feel the upmost amount of love for a man who put me first that day. Since then there have been many things he has done, but this was a desperate situation for me. Most ladies would have had to figure out a way to make it through, and I have also at different times, but he was my life saver and our kids life saver that day. He let our kids know without words that he will be there and they are his most important priority.

Jeff is so sweet. I am a worry wart when it comes to money and even though we are not high in the cash flow whenever I start to freak-out he will calmly talk to me hold me and remind me everything will work out. It's great to have a reminder that God is in control and will take care of us as we work towards our righteous desires. Thank God for a calm, soon to be, husband

What my hubby did for me for our anniversary last year was AWESOME! For 6 weeks he secretly made plans with my parents to surprise me. I honestly wasn't expecting anything since he is halfway across the world right now. So the evening of our anniversary my parents show up dressed as secret agents with secret files and instructions for me, along ... See Morewith 2 dozen red roses and some gifts. Curtis had a bracelet made for me with my name embroidered into it. My mom had also made my favorite dish of fettucini alfredo (per instruction from Curtis of course), along with some breadsticks, salad, and custard. Plus a bottle of sparkling cider. She set up a nice spot right in front of the computer where Curtis would be "interrogating" me while we ate dinner together via webcam. It was 3:00 am for him. One of the files had a code word (Mission Tango) that had to be typed in so that Curtis would know that the secret agents had arrived and carried out their duties. Then he would know it was safe to talk. They then take my kids hostage to their house until I came to pick them up afterward. Unfortunately Curtis wasn't feeling well so instead of trying to have the same thing I was eating he opted for Ramen noodle soup. But we still ate together, talked, and then played a couple of games online of Wheel of Fortune and Uno and had a nice time. When I went to pick up my kids I had to be sure to bring a certain file that was given to me by the secret agents that contained the picture of the hostages (my 3 kids) in order for them to be released. Right before bed I opened the last file that had a SHMILY (See How Much I Love You) card attached to a personal letter Curtis wrote to me. It was the BEST anniversary EVER!!! The fact that he spent so much time and effort planning the evening was the thing that meant the most to me. And I love that he surprised me!

when she was a single mom and working 12 hour days. Our Christmas tree was still up and it was May. She just didn't have time do the job the right way. Jason, who was then our neighbor, borrowed the house key from a family member. He got our Christmas boxes down and carefully wrapped all our ornaments and put them away. Then he threw out our tree that was really just kindling left over. If anyone knows my mom well, it is very important how our ornaments are put away because each one is special to her.
My story is about how sweet Stillman and I both are. I have similar stories like that of Heather's where he just left work and rescued me from insane days, but to give you a different story I will tell this one.
One Valentines day we decided that instead of gifts we would just go have a fabulous date night. Dinner WITH desert and a movie WITH popcorn AND drinks. That in it self is saying something. I decided I was still going to make something for Stillman (I warned him I was doing a little something for him though) I got a map of Boise and decorated with pictures of us from before we had kids and labeled the map with all the locations of our "Firsts". Where we first met, Where we had our first kiss......
Stillman bought two things for me that day. A Tray Table. Then he made me breakfast in bed with the works. Waffles topped with strawberries and powdered sugar. Eggs and Bacon. He also bought me a dozen red roses. Red roses on valentines day are a rare thing for him to buy for me. He usually never buys me flowers for a reason, he will just show up from work one day with flowers, He also likes to get different types of flowers to keep me on my toes. So Red Roses were a treat that day. When we were at dinner (Corrino's so we could color on the table) He said we needed to get to know each other again. He would pick a subject like your favorite movie, TV show, Sport...... and we would list our top five and share them. It was a great date!
