I love this man!!!!

(I know, it's not a good picture, but it's the best one I could find)

Okay, so I thought I haven't put enough about Nathan on here, and I don't think I've really shown all my appreciation for him as much as I should have. But I have been so grateful for all that he has done for me!! And not just this semester, although he is doing EVERYTHING right now, but I am grateful for all that he has taught me in the almost 5 years that we've known eachother. He has made me a much better person and I am a far better student now than I ever was. He has given me so much more self esteem just by allowing me to realize my true potential and telling me to stop putting myself down all the time. He challenges me a lot in what I'm thinking, and although I get mad at him a lot for that, I appreciate it. I'm learning so much more about politics due to his CONSTANT need to listen to talk radio (can we say Grandpa, family???? Ya, I feel for Nana!) I just love him so much and appreciate him for all he does.

I'm also really proud of him for the great job he has been doing with our new diet...I mean lifestyle. It is a hard diet but he is being really good. We have been doing it since about the middle of January, with me going off it for the 4 weeks I was pregnant, and he has already lost like 15 pounds!! I am so proud of him for doing so good and always having to be the strong one when I don't want to stick to it (I'm back on it again now that I'm not pregnant). This is the first diet he's really stuck to, and I'm proud of him for all his hard work!

He works so hard for all of us and tries to make sure everything is perfect for us. I really appreciate all he does for me and I'm lucky to be his wife!


This is what I found on the shower wall the day after my birthday. It really meant a lot to me.
