An Amazing Husband and Father

I have an amazingly sweet hubby.  He just makes me smile at all the little things he does to show  he loves me and our kids.  I am lucky to have a hubby who even if he is tired from work comes home and helps gets kids to bed or takes Emme around the block on her bike.  Every day he surprises me in some little way.  He changes diapers, helps with baths, read stories, watches princess movies and kisses boo boos.  Every night he gets off from his 12 hour shift at a very stressful job, walks in and gives each girl a great big hug and kiss.  He loves playing with his girls.  And now he is so excited we are expecting a boy at the end of the summer.  He is already getting ready to work on the nursery and wants to be very involved in everything.  He tries to help with what ever he can so I don't have to do it while pregnant.  He does the laundry because I can't take it up and down our stairs.  He cares for our large fuzzy baby Kenai.  Who thinks she is a lap dog.  He rubs my swollen feet.   And comes to all my doctor appointments (the nurses at the Ob's think he is cute because he wants to be right there every time.  He has only missed one because of work and he tried to get off)
   I have been thinking more and more what a great man I got and how the Lord must have been saving him just for me.  Tomorrow is the anniversary of our "meeting".  It will be six years and next month we will celebrate our five years of being married.  Six years ago I was living with some friends in Anchorage.  I was getting annoyed with the dating scene in Alaska.  I spent most of my time at work or at the gym.  My roommate used to invite people over to watch American Idol and order Chinese.  One night her friend was telling us about this dating site she was on and how great it was.  I decided it couldn't hurt to try.  So I made a profile and sent out some flirts.  Matt was one of those flirts.  We started emailing back and forth.  Emails turned to phone calls and texts.  In October I went to Utah to do genealogy and we went out almost every day. Very little genealogy gone done that trip.  With in a month we were in engaged. (he didn't propose he said we should get married in the fall)  On May 10th we were married for time and all eternity in the Anchorage Alaska Temple.  
   Now six years later we have a home in Riverton, Utah (I never thought I would live in Utah)  two beautiful daughters Emmeline and Olivia.  With a son whom is due in early September.  We still love being with each other, holding hands, stealing kisses.  And knowing that we were meant for each other.  I am grateful for this wonderful man every day.
