Last night I was thinking about our wedding anniversary (3 years today!) and ways I could encourage my husband more than usual on this special day. I began to think about all the things that make our marriage so fun and special, and realized that more than anything, it's the little things that matter most. Don't get me wrong, I love the special, out of the ordinary things Scott does for me too, but I started thinking about the little things he does that he probably doesn't even realize mean a lot to me. Partly, I'm sure, because I forget to vocalize my appreciation for those things. So then I thought, what a great opportunity to make a little list of sorts of all the little things I appreciate about him.
We just got back from our summer holiday in British Columbia, and I was thinking about all the little things he did along the way that were everyday, normal things, but meant a lot to me.
He took our SUV in to be serviced and have new tires put on. THAT is definitely not something I would have wanted to handle myself!
He took care of a MAJOR issue with our credit card company and a fraud issue we had the day before our trip! What a nightmare and stress-inducer that would have been for me!
He booked our hotels along the way! And found great deals at beautiful hotels and resorts! Anyone who knows me knows I DO NOT LIKE planning the details of trips...plan it for me, and I'll show up!
He drove for two days there, and two days coming home! And he still holds my hand when he drives! It's the little things!
Probably the most important thing of all was left everything else behind for the 12 days we were away, and just focused on and poured into each of us. THAT is a HUGE one for me! It was such a fun, relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating time for our family.
Along the way, he packed and carried luggage for us all; loaded and unloaded the car countless times.
On top of all those "little things" he worked hard to make all of our trip possible for us. Many wives don't think they should thank their husband for providing financially for their family because it's just something they're "supposed" to do, but I want my husband to know I appreciate how hard he works to make it possible for me to stay home with our children while they're young.
Today, we've been married for 3 years, and they have honestly been the best 3 years of my life. Love certainly has its seasons, but we continue to work hard at making our marriage a priority, and each year continues to get better than the last! Happy Anniversary, Scott! I love you to the moon and back!
