3 Years

I've always liked receiving cards.
Cards for birthdays.
Cards for holidays.
Cards for no reason.
My husband knows this about me.
His life is busy... he works as a manager at a major insurance company.
He stays in touch with his large family.
He raises his 7 year old daughter.
He keeps me balanced.
Keeps me whole.
And he still remembers I love cards.

He left early this morning to go on a work trip in sunny, hot, Arizona.
Last night as we lay in bed, he got a card out of his night stand.
It has a cute owl on it, a little bit of glitter and his special handwritten message about today.
Today is the 3 year anniversary of when we became an official couple.
We both commented that it had ONLY been 3 years!
It seems like a lot longer.
Not in a bad way.... in a.... 'I don't recall a time when he wasn't there' way.

Anyone that knows my husband knows that he is strong, determined, intelligent, loyal, honest and proud.
He is passionate about his life, takes his 'job' as a husband and father seriously, but with that spark of fun that one needs.
He is silly, LOVES to be the center of attention, and knows the lyrics to 96% of all songs (not country).
He is beautiful.... beautiful!
Color of mocha, dark brown eyes, big strong arms and a smile I love to see.
He is my best friend, my soul mate, my secret keeper.
He's the only man that knows ME and still loves ME.

Only 3 years.... the 3 best years of my life.

Jobs

I'm currently working two jobs.
In November I quit my corporate job because I was miserable.
I got in a position that wasn't a great fit for me, and because you have to stay in positions 6 months to a year before you can transfer out, I was stuck.
I never minded my corporate jobs.
In fact, I always liked my positions, until the last one.
I couldn't get out of bed to go to work.
My husband literally had to pull me out of bed a couple of times.
So after going over finances, thinking and (him) praying on it.
He told me to quit.
So I did.

I started working part time at my friends salon and spa as a receptionist.
I LOVE IT.
I work with amazing women who are passionate about their careers and fun to be around.
However, I wasn't able to get enough day time hours there, and I can't work all weekday nights, because I want to see my little family.
So I put a call out and got another part time job at a local doggie day care as the receptionist there!
I'm super excited to start that position tomorrow.
Some people think I'm crazy that I rather work 2 part time jobs.
But I rather work 2 part time jobs doing things I like and interacting with people and pets then work one full time job that I hate.
I'm just lucky my husband let me take this leap, as not everyone can afford it.
Not everyone has that supportive of a husband.
Believe me, I know how lucky I am.
