Thankful for the Huz

I have seen a trend picking up the past years of people posting on Facebook about things that they are thankful for each day in November.  I will not post daily, but I think it is a good thing to step back and take the time to reflect on the blessings that I have in my life during this month of November.  Today I will write about my other half, my better half. 

Chris (AKA the "Huz" and "Johnson") is quite simply a wonderful man and a wonderful husband.  He has my back if I ever need support, but he is also not afraid to tell me when I am being foolish.  He is not a man of many words himself, but he listens to my stories like he has all the time in the world.  He spends days like today when I had to go in to work making (yes, making) a picture frame and a new shoe rack that I requested.  He tackles the task of trimming my mom's tree like it is his job. 

 

My favorite moments in life are when the two of us start laughing over something stupid and sink to the floor in tears unable to speak.  Nobody else would find what we laugh about even funny, but that is why I love the guy so much.  He gets me and makes my heart smile.  We have a phrase in the Johnson household that you use when you get that overwhelming feeling of love.  It is not the same as the "I love you" that you give every day; it by nature should not be used every day.  It need not be reciprocated the moment is it uttered and almost takes away from the meaning if it is reciprocated. The phrase is heart overload.  And today I have heart overload for this man.  Thank you for all that you are, Chris.
