The Best Husband

This would be Fred, well at least for me. This year so far has just been madness for us. With the new job, moving, pregnancy, and everything else that goes with it, it's just been a little overwhelming. And although he has had his tough times Fred has been such a super trooper. Last week though he stepped right up to plate and hit a home run.

I've been dealing with some nausea lately and being even more sick than usual. None of this helps with my not wanting to eat but Fred keeps pushing away trying to get me to eat. Last week was particularly rough on me so while Fred was at work, we were on instant message, he was trying to help think of things that I could eat. He asked if there was anything that sounded good at all no matter how 'un healthy'. So I told him there was one thing that I had been wanting since December but never brought it up because it's just not available down here. But what I wanted was a BLT on french bread with a provolone cheese and mayo toasted in a stone pizza oven. It was something I used to get a lot up in Maine because of all the family style delis. So my husband went on a hunt for a BLT. He figured he wouldn't find the exact thing but he wasn't going to get it as close as possible. Well he did it folks. A co-work happened to have a menu of a new Deli that made their sandwiches exactly the way I described. So Fred wrote me and said that he'd make dinner when he got home and I should just relax. Well what he did was go and get me my sandwich.

He came home with this wonderful goodness in his hand saying "You can get mad at me for spending money. But I want you to have this" What a guy! He couldn't have picked the more perfect time to just take the risk spend the money. My Dad says, "Some days you have to buy two loaves of bread and others you have to buy a loaf of bread and a flower." Which if you don't get it means that sometimes you just have to do things that cost money to help someone emotionally or mentally even if it means sacrificing a physical need. Of course it needs to be done in moderation that's why you're only sacrificing a single loaf of bread.

Oh the sandwich was perfect. Just like my man!
