I love you

You know how I like to write out my thoughts sometimes when things get stuck in my head but I wanted you to know them so that you could hear my heart.  So here goes.  

Earlier today when you asked me what I was thinking about...I was just being thankful for you.  I was thinking how awesome it is that I am married to a woman who cares as much about familes and communities as I do.   We share passions.  That's cool, and it's rare to be this aligned, so early on in life I suspect.  When you told me what you shared at your bible study group with the girls earlier today I was proud and impressed.  

I was also thinking about how interesting it is that you're...let's say "excited" by the fact that I did all that car work yesterday and today.  I'm going to pocket that bit of insight and hopefully pull it out at a more useful time.  Good to know though.  My woman not only likes her man to look, dress, and speak well, but she also enjoys a good classic greese monkey in him every now and then.  And I thought it was my brains that did it for you... lol.  

Finally, I'm just tired.  There's a lot going on.  I feel like we're on the precipice of a lot of cool stuff with our purpose, with the couples, with our parenting, with our finances, with our dreams... and sometimes I get lost in just thinking about it all.  I need you help to keep me grounded in the day to day reality of things (remember how I got lost in the 5 year budget plan yesterday?).  That's one of the things I need you for- that grounded, down to earthness.  Don't burst my bubble (you rarely do, so that's not a real concern), but help me appreciate the moments right in front of me.  Even when I'd rather dream about the future...or reflect about the past.  

Oh yeah, thanks for putting up with my moments of introspection.  I realize now that when we as husbands do that, it's not always about pushing you away, sometimes its more about understanding ourselves so that we can ultimately connect better with you.  think about it.  Anyway, I love you.
