You are so so good to me!

Right now, we are laying in bed touching feet. You are already asleep because you woke up around 4:15 this morning.  You got up after I came back from feeding June and was complaining that your 3d printer was too loud for me to go back to sleep...you are so excited about your new toy you did an overnight print! So you got up and slept on the couch so I could shut the door and fall asleep...but then June woke up at 5:20 and you got up with her and let me sleep! Because I have had a nasty cold this whole week. and because you are so so good to me. I am so in awe of the way that you serve me. Of the way that you are so quick to support anything I want to do. Of the way you encourage me to have fun and leave the busy for later. Of the way you help me enjoy life. Of the way you love me...you love me so perfectly! And I am falling even more in love with you! I am loving this stage in our marriage- we are starting our slow season and are soaking up nap times and evenings together after the babies are in bed- it is so fun reconnecting! We have been getting to spend so much time together and it is such a nice change of pace- reminds me of our early marriage!
You are into 3d printing- and I am learning so much about you. You have the strength of ideation. So idea, in general, fascinate you. You are thrilled to learn how things work and to understand a new process. So you are diving into it head first and it is driving me a little nuts...you've had the printer running for 3 days straight now despite me continuously asking you to stop. And I am learning to embrace that part of you and to admire it. As long as we can compromise at printing just 1 thing a day ;)
You also just built us an incredible addition to our chicken run...so awesome! and so much work you put into that. I LOVE seeing your finished products- the 3d printed game boxes, the gaming coffee table, the chicken run...you are so talented! and I am so so lucky to have you as my brave and magic. You can always fix things! You make me feel so safe. I know you will always take care of me. And if something breaks, you always know what to do. and when I'm overwhelmed, you can always calm me down. and you are always there- present- in our lives and willing to help. I am so so thankful for your presence- that you don't have to travel for work and can be home for family dinners and for church on Sundays. So so thankful! I couldn't imagine a better husband for me- you are so perfect for me! Or a better father for our girls. You are incredible, Jesus. and I love you! so so much! Thankyou for being my best friend. For always wanting to cuddle- even when I am sick and can't smell and am using a new homemade deodorant and don't realize I smell bad ;) and for getting up at the buttcrack of dawn so that I can rest. You amaze me! xoxoxoxo Natalie
