He thinks I hung the moon and stars... I think he's a livin' dream

even though Lee has midterms this week and he has been studying all day everyday the past week... I've never felt more in love or close to him. 
I don't know what it is... it feels like we've just started dating rather than going on 5 years - making each other laugh, complimenting each other an absurd amount, kissing every time we get within 4ft of each other...
we are just ridiculously happy and silly... and I like it!

I can't believe how blessed I am to have such a husband.
not only is he tall and good looking, he's smart, he loves God and has a heart for furthering his kingdom, he truly wants to help people and be a good example of Christ.  We have actually fought because he was 'too nice' to someone when I wanted him to be mean... he is rubbing off on me though.  He has taught me to see things from other people's point of view and to just be a better person.
and nevermind the fact that he is going to be a doctor! I fell in love with him long before he decided on medicine, but I did fall in love with the hardest worker I've ever met.  He is so dedicated it's insane.
another thing that I love about Lee is how much he loves and trust me... he thinks that I'm the greatest thing on earth, or he at least makes me feel like that's how he thinks :) he thinks I'm the greatest cook, the best artist, the best dressed, the prettiest, the best wife.... he's even said I'm an expert blogger, even though I've only been doing it for a month. bless his little heart, he always acts so impressed by me & I love him for that & confidence he gives me.

I've always loved this song, and I think it says it best :)

Mama, I found someone
Like you said would come along
He's a sight, so unlike
Any man I've known
I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind
But now I'm convinced
That he's heaven sent
And must be out of his mind

Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me

And, Mama, you've always said,
"Better look before you leap!"
Maybe so, but here I go
Lettin' my heart lead me
He thinks I hung the moon and stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men
But ones like him
Are few and far between

I decided to create another blog... separate from my "Grenada" blog to talk about being a housewife... because today I realized that's what I am, and I am actually loving it.  I love to make my husband happy... and I don't feel less of an empowered woman because of it. I don't feel bound by my new role.... I feel privileged to have the opportunity to do so.  I've heard lots of people say how delicate the first year of marriage is, and thankfully our first 5 months has gone much much much better than I could have ever hoped for, but if there is something that I can do to further nurture this relationship, then that sounds good to me.

True, I still hate and despise doing dishes...I am doing them, and multiple times a day because we only have 4 plates, bowls, spoons etc... but this morning I woke up at 9 and Lee had already left for lab at 8, I realized that there weren't any clean bowls because we had used them all the night before and I didn't do dishes after dinner.... and so there wasn't a clean bowl for Lee to have cereal this morning. and I genuinely felt bad.  This poor boy has been working and studying 8am-11pm basically everyday since we got here, and he couldn't even have cereal this morning b/c there wasn't a clean bowl...
could he have washed a bowl out himself? well yes... but still, I really feel like it's my job right now to not add any additional stress to his life.  is a dirty bowl stress? YES. there are people in his classes crying about the workload... people have already dropped out... a friend of Lee's is paying me to go to the grocery for him because he doesn't have time to get his own food!
medical school is pure madness.
and if I can make it the tiniest bit easier on Lee by making sure he has a clean cereal bowl in the morning.... then that's what I'm going to do.
because I love him...
and lets face it. he'll pay me back someday =)
