Mr. Wonderful

This post is intended to apologize to my wonderful husband. You see, in my post about the pancake episode I made him look like the bad guy...when, in fact, he wasn't, and it might have hurt his feelings to see some of the comments that had inferred he had wronged me. And the main reason I should not have made him look grumbly is because this is my blog and you could only read my side of the story (and let me tell you, I can be a pretty big bizzle sometimes). And on top of that, a lot of you don't know him, or know him well enough to know that if I tell you about a fight and then never tell you the goodness of him then you might think he's only a big jerk. When in actuality he's a pretty good guy. So bloggers, let me tell you a little about my Mr. Wonderful...Mr. Romney.

He is the hardest worker I have ever met. Since the day I met him he has never had a break. He is a full-time student, has a full-time job, is a full-time husband (to a very needy wife) and a full-time father. While juggling all of these things, he let's none of them suffer. He gets straight A's in a very academically challenging major (Physiology and Developmental Biology) at a competitive university. He has never worked less than 40 hours a week while excelling in school. And while I don't want to tell you the hours that he works because I don't want internet psychos to come get me and my baby while he's gone...I will tell you that they suck and he's constantly running on nothing but fumes. On top of his full-time job he used to work another part-time job and together we used to work at a Crisis Center nursery two weekends a month, as houseparents to abused and neglected children. So on the weeks that he worked all three jobs he was literally working up to 75 hours and going to school full-time. When he gets home from his horrible long days he kisses his woman and then plays with his little woman...like really plays down on the floor, or up in the air, or running around the house, or dancing in the living room. He helps give her a bath every night, he changes half the diapers when he is home, he feeds her, he dresses her, and all the other baby stuff. How many people can say that about their husbands?
Along with being the hardest worker I've ever met, he's brilliant. There are some people that have to work really hard to understand things and then there are people that just seem to get it. He's of the latter. He's also handsome and totally sexy. He's athletic. He's not only good at the sports he's been playing his whole life, but he dominates at things he's never even tried before. I'd been playing tennis since I was little, I took him to play while we were dating, it was his first time in his life and he wooped me. He's also really funny. I don't think I've ever gone to bed mad, because every time he annoys me, it only takes like 5 minutes before I'm laughing again.
He's also an Eagle Scout! So cute, huh? And he served a two year mission for our church in Hong Kong. He has a testimony of Jesus Christ and is dedicated to raising our family with the knowledge and values that are so strong in him. He is completely devoted to his family and his faith. I know that he loves me and Adelyn more than anything in this world. He values the role I play as mother and works hard so that I can stay home and raise our children. He also respects me as a woman. I know that even at his worst of worsts moments he would rather die than hurt me physically. He very rarely even raises his voice. I know that he will always honor the vows we made when we became husband and wife. He's the most loyal person I've ever met.After all of this, and best of all, he is my best friend. We have no secrets from eachother. He accepts me as I am; flawed, hormonal, a little crazy. He makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful person in the world. He makes me smile everyday. And he usually let's me have my way...which is a big plus, right ladies? He might be a little shy, but when you do get to know him you'll love him. He really is wonderful and I love him. And so should you...unless you're a homewrecker, in which case, go away you homewrecking ho.

Seriously, isn't he gorgeous?

jared is a good guy. the one time we got in a fight for my dramatic bratty ways he still forgave me. he even worked hard to take care of me and let me live there and eat spaghetti or taco bell with you. i always tell people that he's funny and that he's a better person than most people i know. i love you jare-bear! (you should show him this)

You two sound wonderfully happy. :)

Bryan and Ashley said...

Jen I think our husbands would be friends...(even though it sounds like poor Jared has no time for that)...you just said most of what I think of Bryan...minus the straight A's thing. :) The shy ones are always the best! I'm so glad you found such a wonderful husband.
