Why I Love My Husband #2


He insisted that we set up and maintain a small home altar in the living room, even though I didn't like the "look" of it.

Sometimes for fun, he takes random bits and pieces of metal and fashions them together to make me jewelry (like my skeleton key necklace, or the "artistic" just-screams-Catholic necklace filled with dangling holy medals, broken sections of Rosary beads, and crucifixes).

He always wants to be the one to hold Sly when we're out in public, because he just loves to show him off to all the little old ladies who come up to see him.

He rubs my feet for me sometimes, even though he really doesn't like to ;-)

Now that I don't have the time to read the newspaper every day, he makes sure to fill me in on the interesting major stories and local news.

He can talk to anyone, and make friends with anyone. He's genuinely interested in learning more about everyone he meets.

  1. Although our two men are very different, the last thing you mentioned was one of the qualities that really attracted me to Keith. Especially watching you guys and my other friends who are married, I think it's one of the qualities of a good husband. :)

  2. I love this.

    That broken Catholic bits and pieces jewelry sounds awesome. If he makes me one, I'd buy it!
