Southern Sass: A Great Big Thank You!!

Susan at Penless Writer has graciously passed on these little treasures to me for my children. What a sweetheart! If you haven't read her blog before, please go on over for a visit. You will not be disappointed. I promise! She is such an inspiration to me. I love her stories, her love for her family and most of all her love for our Lord, Jesus! She is so warm and friendly, and I'm proud to call her my friend. I hope I have the chance to meet her someday! Now I will always here something to remind me of her and her friendship. I can't wait to see my Anna Grace play the piano. If I can get a picture of her playing one of these pieces I will have to post it later for y'all to see:) ~Blessings from above!

How Do I Love Thee?...Let Me Count The Ways! ALL THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY SWEET SWEET HUSBAND!

I'm so proud of Hugh. He has dreamed for years of becoming a doctor. And I've had the privledge of seeing that dream come true. He has worked incredibly hard to get where he is, and we've made lots of sacrifices. But, it has been worth every second.
I love how helpful he can be. If we see an accident on the side of the road often times he will stop and offer to help. This is not an everyday occurance. Nor does it happen everytime we see an accident. But, I'm glad the Lord has given me a small insight into his work.
He can still make me blush when he gives me a compliment. Just the other day, we were eating lunch together, and I looked up to see him staring at me. He said you look very pretty today. It gave me butterflies. hee-hee
I love getting cards from him. He always writes the sweetest things in his cards. They are like little love letters, I've collected over the years. I treasure them.
He is a great conversationalist. We can still sit and talk for hours.
He is very loyal and protective of his loved ones, family and friends.
He is a really good friend, and a good friend to have.
I love exploring new places with him. One thing we both like to do is visit old grave yards and try to find the oldest tomb stone there.
I love to go for rides with him. We just ride and listen to music. We have a lot of the same taste in music. And he's actually introduced me to a lot of things I probably would have never given a chance, because I thought it just wasn't my style. Before we had children, we wouild ride in the country, music blaring and sing at the top of our lungs. -Good times!
He is great at surprises! He'll do little things here and there, like wash and gas up my car, or bring me flowers unexpectedly. And he sometimes surprises the kids and I with a new fish for our tank.- Just little things really, but the brighten my day!
I love how giving he is. Just the other day our friends Glen and Heidi were telling us about how their cell phone company couldn't fix their phone. Well, we just happened to still have our phones from when we were with the same company, and Hugh offered them his old phone, charger, and car charger. That really touched my heart. He can be so thoughtful sometimes.
I love how silly we can be together sometimes.
I love how he calls from work just to check on us, or say he's been thinking about us and missing us.
I love Hugh's lips. I 've always said he has rosebud lips.
Hugh knows how much I love Fank Sinatra. He could care less about old blue eyes. But, I can't help it, I just love his voice. So, yesterday, when he came home from work, I was busy doing dishes, and he found a radio station/website that plays all Sinatra's classics. And he put it on while he read and I tiddied up the kitchen. What a sweetheart!
Cliche or not, I love that he is the tall, dark and handsome type. Very easy on the eyes....What can I say, I'm a lucky lady!
I love that he wants me to stay up with him after he gets home so we can visit or watch a movie together. It makes me feel special. And it lets me know he still really wants to be with me.
I love cooking with my husband. We used to try out new recipes together all the time, before we had kids. Now it's a blessing to get to eat a meal together as a family. But, it's fun to be in the kitchen with him, cooking and visiting.
I love the kindness my husband shows for others. It makes me proud to see him help an older gentleman carry his groceries to the car, or when he gives a little old lady his arm to help her up an icy curb and into a building in the snow.
I love how he holds my hand when we pray in church. I hope that never changes.
I still get butterflies when he comes in the door after long day of work. Especially when he scoops up the babies into his arms and covers them with hugs and kisses.~How can you not just fall in love all over again!
I love how Hugh has to go in to look at the babies at least three times every night, while they sleep. I can see how much he adores them just watching him look at them.
I Love how he listens and hugs me when I need to share something that is on my heart.
I love how Hugh runs back in to kiss me goodbye, before he leaves for work.
