This is my first attempt to ever blog, so try not to judge too much.
I have the greatest wife in the world. She is amazing, wonderful, terrific, dazzling, radiant, perfect and many many other things. I have felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude the last little while for Alexa and I want the world to know how great she is and how much I love her.
Alexa is the breadwinner right now for our little family. This has given me many feelings, ranging from gratitude to shame. I am so thankful to have a wife that has received her education and that supports me to go to school and get mine. At the same time I feel like I am not doing my job to provide for her. She works so hard at her job and seems to take on more and more responsibilities everyday. The past two months she has easily been working at least fifty hours a week, with a couple nights working all the way till 9:00. I am sure that many of you are thinking right now "dang she must be making bank", well you would be wrong, she is on salary and therefore receives no overtime. She does all this extra work because she is, plain and simple, a good hard worker.
Not only does she work so hard at her job but she works hard at home. I try to keep up a lot of the house work but Alexa still does her part. Every morning she wakes up early to go through and pick up any little messes that we might have made the day before.
But wait there is still more...
Remember this???
This is proof of Alexa's Patience with me
For those who don't know this is one of Alexa's birthday presents... From last year. I had this grand plan to make her this frame for this Family Proclamation that I get her. Well ONE year later that is all that she wanted for her birthday again. I am glad to say that she did receive her finished frame. This truly shows how patient Alexa is with me. She brought it up a few times but mostly didn't say too much about me slacking on it. ( I don't know how to add pics on here so your just stuck with what Alexa already had saved. I am sure she will put one of the finished frame later)
One thing that Alexa does on a regular basis is makes me laugh. Sometimes I laugh at her others we laugh together, but whatever I am laughing at, if it involves Alexa in any way then you know that I am truly having fun and loving life.
Alexa lovingly cuts my hair whenever I ask. I know that she hates it and that I am not the easiest person to deal with yet she still does it.
This is the first time that she ever did it, I am sure if she could go back she would have never had me teach her.
Alexa also has to be one of the greatest sisters I know. I grew up with some pretty amazing sisters and Alexa fits right in with the Amazing sisters club.
She is always worried about her sisters and loves to do things with them. She would do almost anything for these guys and I think that says a lot about her.
Among all these great things Alexa fits with me perfectly. One thing that I am very proud of is being the favorite uncle the one that plays with all the nieces and nephews. You know the one that gets them all wild. Well Alexa is becoming the favorite aunt.
These two little ones love her to pieces and sometimes I think a little too much. They have lots of fun together.
Devin also loves Alexa and knows that she will play any games that he asks her too. They are supposed to play Candy Land but Devin always forgets to bring it out when he comes. But he tells Alexa almost every time sorry and that he will bring it next time. It's really cut.
I am even more grateful for this then one might think because as I get older I feel like I am losing some ground with the kids ( I run out of energy a lot faster) but with Alexa being my wife she wins me a few extra points.
With all this there is one thing that is just the cherry on top I guess you could say. Alexa has given me the one thing that makes my worries and stress go away. She gave me water skiing. Although I had water skiied before I met Alexa it is because of her (and her family) that I fell in love with it and get to do it often in the summer. And it truly is my get away, the one thing that can make everything go away and make me the happiest guy around. I am sure that it is because I am with Alexa most the time when we go too.
Who wouldn't love a girl who can do this!
I could go on and on but I am sure most of you have already stopped reading this. Alexa makes me a much better man and there is one thing for sure, I wouldn't be who I am without her. I am so in love with her and feel like this doesn't even come close to express the gratitude that I have for her and all the great things she does. She simply amazes me with all that she does.
I love you Alexa!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
I Love this picture. All the kids were so eager to help. They kept asking me what they could take in next.
