I am lucky.  The guy I decided to marry turned out to be amazingly great for the husband/Daddy/best friend role.  I’ve been thinking about this lately because of one of his recent blog posts, and the many talks we’ve been having about our goals as a family.  John has his things that he wants to do: sell junk.  And I have mine: raise awareness about natural birth and promote breastfeeding while selling beautiful slings.  Now, when you put it this way, it sounds pretty funny.  John is not out to change the world, he just wants to work for himself and be happy.  He’s a simple man.  We both have become very serious about accomplishing these goals.  Unfortunately for John, my business and new website are requiring a lot of time spent with me at home sewing or writing, and him out killing time with the boys.  And it’s not really killing time, but it’s time that he’s got to be away for me to work.  So, this takes away from time he could be spending on his business plans.  Here’s the part when I tell you why John is amazing.  He has decided to focus on what I’m doing and put his own goals on the back burner.  He feels that the website I have started will take off and be useful.  For this to happen, I’ve got a lot of work to do on it.  And over the past two months, my slings have been selling more and more.  Basically, the ball has already started rolling for me, my business, and my goals.  I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about this!

So, the beautiful man I married is cheering me on the whole way through this path we are on.  He believes in what I’m doing, he encourages me, he helps me, and he is excited for me!  It’s actually us that he’s excited for.  I could not be happier with the way our partnership has grown.  I remember one of my roommates said that our astrological signs were very compatible and creative when put together.  Whether that’s a load of hooey, or truth I don’t know.  But, I do know that John and I have a lot going for us, and it seems that since the day we met we’ve had nothing but blessing after blessing come into our lives.  Jackson started us off and things are only getting better.

In March we will be married 5 years.  What a great way to spend five years, with my best friend.
