The amazing man that I married

I feel that I have been blessed through out my entire life. It has of course had its own difficulties and a couple low points but I have always made it through thanks to my Father in Heaven. The most amazing blessing of my life is My husband.

So this week has been very interesting. It really started on Saturday...We were sitting around and enjoying conference when we got a call from his sister. Her daughter who lives 5 min from us was in some pain and needed to go see the dentist. We of course were willing to help in any way we can so we both canceled our plans for the rest of the weekend. His niece even spent the night as a just in case (she is such a sweet girl).
Well after the crazy weekend we were of course running low on groceries so I planned a shopping trip to the store for Monday since I had school work to work on from Tuesday to Thursday. I meant to have it done by the time Jer got home but other things that I needed to do took up my entire morning so I was unable to make the trip. An hour after Jer got home (after a 10 hr day at school) he got ready and went with me to the store because he wanted to spend time with me and knew I wouldn't be able to do it later on.
The next day I worked all day on my school work but Jer took every minute he could to be by my side. This is where my week got complicated. I had a test coming up on Thursday that I had to get proctored since I live in Provo. I get a email to the lady I had contacted, and was informed that she would not be able to proctor my exam on Thursday or Friday. She was the only person in the area that could proctor this type of exam and I could schedule to do it Wednesday but the test info would not reach her in time from my teacher (not to mention it would mess up my study schedule). The only solution that could be seen without alot of work was to drive up to Rexburg to take it at the testing center, which Jeremy agreed to swiftly.
So after I finished my class work that was due I then proceeded to start a study guide. And was able to study Thursday morning while Jeremy took his own test and attended his classes. We then left. As I drove to Rexburg he quized me on the material, since I get a headache if I read in the car.
So now I am sitting in my brother-in-laws apartment using the computer as my husband spends time with his family with the occasional 'I love you', 'Your beautiful' and jumping up to give me a hug and a kiss. Not once has he complained. He just keeps rolling with what comes and keeps reminding me why I think I am the luckiest woman that has ever been born.

I'm so proud of you for keeping on top of your class stuff. When I think about what kind of classes I want to take (when I get back into it), I'm pretty sure I don't have the necessary qualities to stick with (independent) study.
So...you're in Idaho! Fun. Maybe you'll get to hang out with Ruth while you're there!? Have fun, good luck on your test, and have a safe trip back. Thanks Jeremy, for being Maria's bests husband ever! (that "s" on the end of best is intentional, so please read it appropriately, lol)

You know, as the baby of the family he seems to have gotten some really good "left overs."

Jer does pretty good for himself :)

Steph, I've been using the program called picasa 3. Its a free download off the internet that you can edit photos, make collages, and other stuff. I haven't got into it a ton but its worked great so far!

Awwww! That is so sweet that I just might cry! Aren't those last minute things that you do the most fun?!?! You do have a sweet, wonderful husband and I'm so glad that you have him and that he makes you happy. Sometimes I get a little weepy when I think about how happy I am that my little sisters found such good husbands and that they are happy! I also wanted to know how you're making those collages. Thanks for sharing.

Maria--good to hear that Jeremy is making us proud! Way to go Jeremy--following in Russ's "fabulous husband" footsteps!

One time one of my brothers said "I could never be as good of a husband as Russ, so why even try." All I could think of was--so sad for his wife!
