"I love my Husband's ......"
Ok - so, I'm a big mush, and don't really need too much encouragement to get all goopy-eyed on H :-)
Case in point - a typical scene in our household last night: dogs chasing each other - playing and barking, me in my fav recliner watching highlights of the Ravens last victory on the DVR, and H on the computer. We're chatting away, something funny gets said, and next thing I know he is looking at me and laughing his butt off...and I'm sitting there thinking how much I love his smile, and how it totally lights up his eyes and his face :-))
So, he's probably thinking I'm smiling at the conversation, when really I'm thinking how happy I was to be in that moment with him.
What is it about your Husbands, that you just love? Anything, big or small?
Re: "I love my Husband's ......"
I love a lot of things about DH, but recently I've really gotten a little mushy over how much he loves Bruce (the dog). He had a hard time getting used to him and I was the one that really wanted him, but lately I've watched him have so much love and affection for the little guy it makes me positive he'll be an amazing father if we choose to go down that road.
And, when the dog woke us up while barfing all over hubby at 3:00 a.m., and I asked if the dog just puked on him I love that his reaction was a simple "Yep." rather than spazzing (as I would have done). Still laughing about that....
You know I think it is always the little day to day things that really add up into everything I love about my DH. One for example...Last month we bought a new computer after our old one died. The new computer has a sticky note program that allows you to put a post it note looking message on the desktop. Well for the last month, he has been leaving me little notes on it...like..."have a good day babe"..."I love you"..."your cute" etc..
It really is all about the little things!
i love my tah's ability to soothe me. i don't know why, but ever since i was young i've had night terrors...and i can't stop them. they happen a couple of times a month, fairly consistently for most of my life. any other guy i have been with would pat me on the leg to wake me up and then, once i was awake, would go back to sleep. didn't matter whether i was crying or gasping for air or what...jerks.
last night...night terror from hell. apparently i was screaming and crying in my sleep. tah shook the sh** out of me to wake me up and then stayed with me, holding me until i was able to calm down. i gotta tell ya...those forehead kisses saved me from losing myself to a panic attack...and knowing he wasn't moving or going back to sleep until he knew i was okay meant the world...he wasn't going to leave me alone until he knew i was really alright...
Great post Stacy!
I love my DH's silly sense of humor, and how he insists when he tickles me he's just "gently caressing" me. I then insist he loves to tickle me and he denies it :-) I think he likes to make me squirm and giggle which I enjoy as well.

Nice idea...we should do this more often cause it really is the little random things....
I love that my husband got up on Wednesday morning and shoveled out the driveway and cleaned off my car and didn't even wake me up and when I stirred he told me to go back to sleep. And when I went to take a shower the other night he had already lit a girly smelling candle in the bathroom
Shmel's Blog
This is an awesome post!
I love his blue eyes and long eyelashes, his work ethic and his way with little kids (even though we don't plan to have any of our own), the way he drops everything to go over my [70-something] parents' house and snow blow their driveway & sidewalk when we get a snow storm & the way he rubs my temples when I have a headache. I love our TV time at night and how sometimes we can just start acting silly and goofy and end up in a tickling/wrestling match and laughing until we nearly fall off the couch and pee our pants. And I love the way he hugs me when I have a bad day.
About two nights ago I wanted some pound cake with ice cream (sorry for everyone on here whos on a diet). It was around 9:30 at night. This is our down time, getting ready for bed to watch some News before nite nite 10PM. Well, I wanted my pound cake with ice cream so bad that I asked him to please go to the market and get it for me. He did!!!!
As he was gone I started thinking about all the little things he does that I don't notice. Wow.... I am Loved by him... he takes me to the mall, opens my car door, carrys my bags, and looks for all the movies and music that I like to load up my ipod...
This Valentine is going to be all about him!!!
This may sound silly, but I love the way he is with our cats. We have 3 of them, and he is the one that feeds them, takes care of the litter box, and spoils them all day long. It's rather humorous to watch a big, burly, beer-swilling, sports-loving guy baby talk an 11 pound cat. I know he'll be a great dad someday.
I also love that when I'm lazing on the couch watching TV, he will inevitably come sit down next to me, put my feet on his lap and start rubbing them. Ahhh... I could go for one of his foot massages right now actually.
Mostly I LOVE his sense of humor. He makes me laugh every single day.
Oh, and the fact that he always does the dishes without me having to bug him is pretty cool too
TTC #1 since 4/10, Dx: MFI IVF planned for April/May
Well, Jeff is the last one to be sappy...or light a candle before I go in to take a shower (that would be awesome!)...or anything else most girls deem to be romantic. But he is real. He is 100% real man, 100% commited, 100% the same person no matter who is around or what is happening. I love that when he says that he loves me, I KNOW it. There is no second guessing it. I also love his sense of humor. He is absolutely hilarious, and is always making me laugh (even when I don't want to). And, since it has been snowy and icy this week, I have had to drive his old-beater truck to work in the mornings, so he goes out and starts it every single day before he leaves for work so it will be warm by the time I have to get in. He doesn't have to do this for my car, because he put remote start in it, so it was a nice suprise this week.
And, I too, love how he is with kids...and our dog. He is pa - the -tic about our little doggie. She really is a Daddy's girl!
Now...if I could just figure out a way to disable the Call of Duty game...we would be all right! Hahah!
I have done this before too! It helps that there is a market just a few blocks up the road!!!
What amazing husbands we all have :-))
I love how lately he's been very snuggly while watching tv. The month of December was hectic for both of us with everything going on. So now almost every night he has come and snuggled on the couch with me. He even watches Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice with me on Thursdays (and knows whats going on).
Another thing is yesterday I got my hair cut and colored (went with a medium/warm brown with a hint of red). He didn't see me until I picked him up from work and we got home around 8ish. Well, apparently he REALLY likes my new 'do.
He couldn't wait to get his hands on me (TMI I know). I just love how he can make me feel so special some days without even trying.
This was really a great post Stacy, some of the things you other ladies said about your DH reminded me of more things I wish I would've said, i.e. tickling/wrestling, going to the store and getting anything I need or forgot at the store at the last minute, being not sappy but knowing when he says he loves me he really truly means it; and as I was typing he made us all smores in the toaster and brought them to each of us (me and the kids) :-)
We should make this a more regular post, like once a month or so! Not too often that it's forced to come up with something, but just often enough to keep us thinking of those thoughtful little things our sweet husbands do for us.

I love my husband's dimples... I always want to eat them up, and I can always tell when he's "up" to something when he smirks and they come out. Besides ten fingers and ten toes and all the other good healthy baby stuff, I'm not-so-secretly hoping Baby JBird will get Daddy's dimples (but of course I'll survive if s/he doesn't).
I love that my husband and I make each other laugh all the time and that he is just as silly, or even sillier at times, than I am. I love that he's a computer geek like me, and that we "get" each other... it amazes me sometimes how I can start to say something, practically not even getting a word out of what I was going to say, and he will say "I know" and he DOES! It's freaky sometimes, lol.
And as much as I deny it to his face, I love that he teases me when I do something that is utterly Kiki, and thinks it's cute, rather than, I suppose, annoying.
Thanks for the thread Stacy!

Oh yeah - to add on...Mike shows me affection both in public (but not in a "too" nasty-PDI way) and in private. And he always starts the cars every winter morning too.
Danie - reflecting on your comment about Jeff being "real." I totally get that; ever since the first day I met Mike, he always said "what you see is what you get."
Lisa, I agree that we should do this more often. It really does make you sit back and realize just how lucky we really are. I know it makes me feel good about my silly hubby when reading that everyone else's is just as goofy/annoying/awesome.
I also secretly loves when he starts "aggravating" or tickling me. I will deny it to his face until I die, but I love how it makes me giggle.
Thank you, girls! It's so nice that we found a thread topic that really hit the right spot :-) I'm all for a repeat in the future!
I also have to say that I concur on the "real" aspect - Rand isn't very much of a flowery, lovey-dovey guy with words all the time, but it really is the small things that he does and even a look that can really go straight to my heart!! And I also love that he loves me for "me", and even though I can be interesting at times (hahaha!) he never once has tried to change me...
And yes, when I see him baby talking with the doggies, and letting them walk all over him on the couch (and in bed!), I can also see that he will be a patient daddy one day, if we are ever so blessed!!
Yup, my DH is silly as all get-out, but falls on the WYSIWYG side of things as well. I wouldn't call him romantic per se, but he does have his soft spots. Best about his "realness" is that I know that if I ask him something, he tells me like it is. Sometimes I wish he would sugar-coat stuff, or don't like what he has to say, but at least I know where he stands. And, we don't hold back if something's bugging us. We rarely argue, but it's not because we don't have differences of opinion. It seems to be because we bring stuff up we're thinking about when it comes to mind, rather than waiting for it to become something bigger. I love that there's no tension, or if there is, it can't last long, because neither one of us can tolerate (or ignore) it.
*sigh* feels good to say this stuff out loud!
