This is the Man

This is the man that asked me to be his wife 3 years ago on a horse and carriage ride

This is the man that promised to stand by my side for a lifetime for better for worse for richer for poorer in sickness and in health to love and to honor until death do us part

This is the man who has spent countless hours, days even, telling me how much he loves me and adores me

This is the man who makes me feel beautiful on the inside and out

This is the man who can make me laugh like no one else even in my darkest of days

This is the man who wipes my tears and tells me everything is going to be alright when I cry for the baby we don't have

This is the man who today saw a elderly woman in our apartment complex struggling to move her things out of her apartment

This is the man who stopped and offered to help her even though he had never met her

This is the man who told her if she needed anything else we live in apartment ***** and he would be home all day if she needed any help

This is the man who spent the next three and a half hours of his day helping this elderly woman move out of her apartment.

This is the man who carried things out to the dumpster, who packed her car, who scrubbed her bathroom floor, who cleaned the mirrors in her apartment, who came and got our vacuum so he could vacuum her floor

This is the man who went to the store for her to pick some things up that she needed

This is the man who accepted no money for helping her even though she offered

This is the man who before going to bed tonight said " Let's pray" as he thanked God for this day and prayed for our baby

This is the man I am blessed to call my husband

Thank you Lord for blessing my life with such an incredible man. A man who loves You and desires to know You more. Thank you for showing me through my husbands selflessness how to be a better person. Thank you for leading my path straight to him. If for no other reason than this Lord, I trust You. You perfectly planned all the days of my life and meeting a man as loving and wonderful as my husband. Thank you for blessing my life with a real man who I can't wait to see become a father. Thank you God for fulfilling every desire in my heart when blessing me with Greg's love. I trust you Lord. Just as you have brought me a man unlike any other, I know you will bring me a baby in your perfect time Lord. Thank You for loving me and thank You for allowing me to live all the days of my life with this incredible man.

Aww, how sweet! You guys are so cute, and what a great man to do all that for your neighbor! Men like that are hard to come by, and thankfully I have one of those guys too! :)

Cares for others, helps those he doesn't know, puts another's needs above his own - Sounds like an AwEsOmE Dad to be !!!

What an awesome man you have. I must say we both have great husbands. Though we are not yet blessed with earthly babies, God placed awesome men by our sides to walk through this journey with us, build us up, cry with us, struggle with us, and encourage us. Your post reminded me to thank my hubby when I get home.

Yes! Get the snap n go at least (if you're not comfortable getting the carseats used). See if they'll take a reduced price for just the snap n go. Trust me, you wont regret it (unless you get a carseat that doesn't fit it, but you'll most likely get one that will). I'm contemplating about getting a used car seat. I dont see much harm in it as long as it's only a year or 2 old and hasn't been in a crash, but part of me wants my newborn in a brand new infant seat. So we'll see, but yes, I definitely recommend to pick up the snap n go! Everyone that has it loves it.
