Yes, I know it's been a while since my last post. I've been a bad blogger. It's been a crazy two weeks on the homefront -- but what's weird is I can't really pinpoint the reason why I didn't seem to have enough time for everything.
But it's my 100th post, and I had to think carefully about my subject. So I decided to write about someone who's mostly been in the background here in my blog. You'll notice I usually write about the children and me and lately, *ahem* gerard butler (or whoever takes my fancy) but rarely about the most important person in my life.
He's a bit quiet, you see and a private person so I am usually careful about what I share here. He just celebrated his birthday last week so I figured it's about time you get to know him. He's the one who puts up with me because he has no choice (LOL!). Yeah, the one who put a ring on my finger.
Not to be overly mushy or anything, but I know it's rare to find someone who is your perfect counterpart. He is the quiet to my rambunctiousness (where do you think my kids got it, huh?), the calm to my temper (especially when I'm driving) and just the overall good guy in the family. My sisters adore him and often seeks his advice when it comes to matters that need a guy's opinion (or when they don't want to listen to me *hmp!*). In fact, when we have one of our rare fights, they always assume it's my fault (even if it isn't!!!...grrr).
He can't sleep without me (that's why he hates it when I travel) and he used to make and feed me my breakfast while I was exhaustedly feeding the infant Joshua after another endless sleepless night. I make the grossest faces and he still finds it really cute. Aaand, he thinks I'm gorgeous first thing in the morning (isn't he the perfect hubby??!!). He loves me when I'm good and adores me when I'm bad.
I know I'm extremely blessed to find a guy like him and I thank my lucky stars every single day.

aawwww, menchie. this is very very good! what a sweet tribute. i think there should be a club for couples who by chance or effort have found their true partners in life, because not every one ends up that fortunate. i've always considered myself very blessed for that reason. keep adoring this guy of yours! he is obviously a doll.
you said it kj. :D I'm not letting this one go.
Lovely post, Menchie. Your husband does sound fantastic.
Marie,

Being in love, aint it grand:)
The strong and silent type, but so much more, it sounds like, Mench.
Making you breakfast, not being able to sleep when you're away, your sisters siding with him...
I'd say it sounds like a beautiful match, girl. Congratulations and all the best to you both.

Honestly, Menchie, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Hey David,

Doesn't it make you want to scream when that happens????
