Thankful

The past few weekends, Rob has been out of town. He has been doing some youth events for churches and this weekend he is in Chicago to be trained for a mission trip this summer to Dominican Republic. While he has been gone I have realized how much I really do enjoy his company. I have noticed a few things that I seem to take for granted...

1. Help with Beckham
Having another set of hands is a big deal! Beckham is only 5 months old so he doesn't sit up yet. So he really only plays by himself for very short amounts of time. All the other time he has to be held, rocked, or you have to be making funny noises or singing loudly in his face. I certainly love playing with and holding Beckham but having Rob around makes it much more fun and less tiring. Plus when we are both here we harmonize while singing loudly to Beckham - much more entertaining for Beckham.

2. Conversation/Company
Beckham is on a schedule where he takes 2-3 naps a day
and goes to sleep around 7:30 or 8. Once he is asleep, obviously we are stuck at home... When Rob is gone, I usually watch lots of TV - mainly Law & Order (matter of fact, that is what I am doing right now and I had to change the channel because I had already seen the episode! - pretty sad.) Anyways it is way more fun when Rob is home, because although we are stuck at home at 8pm every night, at least we can spend time together watching tv, visiting, playing cards, etc.

3. Humor
Rob is the funniest person I know - he makes me laugh more than anyone. I am pretty funny myself but not funny enough to entertain myself while he is gone.

4. Strength/Driving
One thing I really enjoy about being married is letting Rob drive. For some reason I don't enjoy the process of getting from one place to another. It is nice to have someone to warm up the car, lug the babyseat in and out of the car, drop us curbside, etc. When I am by myself it seems like lots of trouble to pack up and travel somewhere - even if its just to my parents a few miles away - so we usually just stay in the house simply to avoid the hassle.

To sum this up, I love my husband and can't wait for him to get home.
