The luckiest girl in the world

WARNING: WIFE BRAGGING ABOUT HUSBAND

Today I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Not only do I have the most wonderful children in the world, but I also have the most amazing husband that could ever exist.

A few days before Logan, Taylor, and I were about to go home to Des Moines, it hit me that Billy’s 21-hour drive home really wasn’t necessary. Only 2 days after finishing his rotation in Gainesville, he would have an interview in St. Louis. On his drive home, he would be going through St. Louis. So why not make the 14-hour drive to St. Louis, stay there until the interview got done, and then only make the extra 7-hour drive to Des Moines? Of course it would mean not seeing him for another 2 days, but if he did come home, we would only see him for less than a day. Billy’s reaction to my suggestion: “But I want to come home and see you, guys. You’re worth way more than a 14-hour drive to St. Louis, there and back.” Awww...
When Billy got home that night, the boys were asleep, but my dad was still at our apartment, trying to get some rest before his own 16-hour drive back to Maryland. As soon as Billy walked in the door, I went running toward him and hugged and kissed him like never before. Then he suggested that since my dad was still in town, we might as well use him as a babysitter and go on a date. So we went… to a Sport Bar to watch the UFC fight. Every month, the guys get together to watch the fights, and I always get jealous because I wish I could go, too, but instead I have to hear about it from Billy and then wait for the fights to come on regular TV. The fights were awesome, and it was the perfect date to go on after not seeing each other for 7 weeks.
Just for the record:
My favorite fighters are: George St. Pierre, BJ Penn, and Matt Hamill
The ones I like the least: Tim Sylvia, Brock Lesnar
The ones I’m undecided about: Josh Koscheck, Matt Hughes,
The ones everybody knows: Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, and Chuck Lidell.

Billy totally got me hooked to UFC fights. It’s something that we enjoy watching for quality time together. Yeah, I’ve got the most amazing husband that could ever exist.
