Some of y'all already know this, but I have to say...my husband did something so incredible that I have no words. He moved our entire family to our new house...alone. Because, well, hiring movers is sooo last season. Right. Ha. He somehow managed to relocate all of us--kids, dogs, cat, me and my hoarding level of stuff--without completely losing it. He truly saved the day. He worked for three days, lifting, carrying, disassembling, loading, driving, unloading, reassembling. He did it without one complaint. And bonus challenge: without even letting me lift a finger to help with boxes. Perfect timing for his wife to break her back, am I right?! And no, I did not do it on purpose. Yes, it is pretty literally broken. And, yes, it hurts. It'll be fine. Anyway, he still pulled it off. Award for Husband of the Year (and Saint of Patience) officially granted to him. The interesting part?! I have so much faith in him as our protector, our person, our take-care-of-things man, that I never had a doubt. Many might've if they were in my shoes, but I knew he'd handle it, and look sexy all the while.
Some of the other amazing things I need to say thank you for more often:
His encouragement of my new business venture. We have no money, no time, no energy, and no business opening a business. But it's something that meant something to me. Initially it was a way to cope with my diagnosis. I'd like to say that's why he was supportive, but no, he always supports me in what I want to do. And he stays right beside me.
His helping me with business related tasks. I have had him order and wear shirts, take pictures in them, allow me to publish them, gone to work to ask if we could be their Tee-Shirt provider (even though he hates convos like that)...all the things I've asked him to do he's done, without complaining.
His style help on my merchandise when I'm designing. Sometimes I really know what looks good and sometimes my quirkiness gets a little carried away. He is always my go to person when I need to know if I've gone overboard. He'll be honest and he'll give suggestions. Win win.
His patience with my long hours. We're a snuggly couple and a close family. We spend our free time together, and yes, we snuggle. Shhhh don't tell him I told. Anyway I've been face in the computer for I don't know how long now, and although he sometimes has to put his foot down and take the computer, he's overall so understanding.
I don't know about you, ladies, but I need to work harder at ensuring I thank him enough for what he does. I'm really grateful that my partner, my bestie, my male version of me, is beside me during this time. Just anybody wouldn't cut it, you know?! Go kiss your partners! And, please, tell us in the comments what your partner has done lately that's amazing!
Thanks for reading, y'all, and have a good rest of your day.
Mama Gnome, A.K.A. Eliza
