I have the BEST husband in the entire world! This last week has been rough. With school starting up once again for Jordan and a full-time job already on his plate, I've felt a bit like a single mom this week. Jordan is now gone every day from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and then comes home and has homework, studying, Church calling, etc., to take care of. He even works a half-day on Saturdays just to get it all in. To top it off, BYU decided to change up all of its job categories beginning Sept. 1, which means instead of just being on a contract and working when I can (naptime, random 20-minute play mat stints, etc.), I now have to clock in for 30 hours each week while trying to take care of a very active 5-month-old at the same time. Yikes! So I was feeling a bit stressed out by the time Friday came. Now, some of you might be saying, poor Jordan, and I admit that's probably what I should've been saying if I was the best wife in the world. Guess I lost that prize. But my husband is perfect nonetheless so when one of his Friday classes got out early and he could've taken the time to relax, read, eat or just lay his head down on a table somewhere and die, he instead headed to the flower shop and came home with a beautiful yellow daisy just for me. Yep, that's right, he's the best! :)

Thanks, babe! I love you!!!
What a sweet hubby! We are pretty much in the same boat! I too work a part time job from home (aren't we blessed?) and it's hard to work and take care of the babes, but it's worth it and whenever I think of complaining, I remind myself how thankful I am go have a job and a hardworking hubster!
