him :)

not many girls know how much their husband would sacrifice for them, but cory shows me every single day. because he is ALWAYS helping me. it's not easy having a legally blind wife. one with a hearing loss, to boot. he never makes me feel like i'm a burden though. instead, he finds so many ways to make me feel loved. this is my continuous list of acts of love by my darling husband:

-finds everything i can't find or don't see
-makes food when i'm tired (occasionally)
-always lets me lay on his chest
-rubs my back when i have a bad dream
-knows when to say yes or no to my wishful thinking, mostly in the mall or when i'm hungry
-always lets me try a bite of his food even though he's hungry and hates to share his food
-paints my nails (and well)
-comes to my rescue when i'm hurt
-mops and vacuums the floor
-drives us everywhere
-encourages me to be better
-compliments me
-sings along to every song he knows, no matter the singer, pitch...
-helps everyone in need, sacrifices way more than i can
-constantly educating himself, at museums, class, library, books he orders. this kid is nuts!
-has a testimony and is an awesome teacher to our sunday school kids

-wiggles his eyebrows
-shares his pinterest with me
-and his computer
-always tells me how beautiful i am, especially without makeup
-holds my hand
-pushes the golf ball in the hole with his club or foot, so it doesn't take me forever to mini-golf and then pretends like he didn't
-rides on a tandem bike with me so i feel safer
-picks up sea anemones out of the ocean so i can see and feel them
-sleeps on the side closest to the door so he can protect me from bad guys

-he now is training with accuquest and works 9-5, commutes anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and a half, and does homework after work
-because i've been sick, he goes grocery shopping for us and will get me wendy's baked potatoes (yes, that's what we've been reduced to at times)
-doesn't get mad when i buy a pair of $60 baby shoes (i love you!)

-really good at couponing!
-drove up to minnesota to pick sienna and me up, only so he could drive us down to tennessee two days later
-always makes me feel protected (i've learned how much security he provides me living/being apart from him)
-did i mention he makes me laugh every day? even with his gross bathroom humor
-i've changed so much, or maybe i have just learned to trust and be myself so completely with cory that i don't even recognize myself sometimes
