Yes, my husband is hot.
Hubba hubba.
But also?
Sometimes my husband is incredibly wise.
And this just one of the reasons why I will never let him go…ever.
{and also, because he’s hot.}
Back story….
Yesterday, I had sent him an email apologizing for my “mood” on Mothers Day.
It was a bittersweet day for me, as I haven’t heard from my mom in almost a year.
{long story, not ready to write about it…actually, I may never be ready}
And rather than focus on the kids who were celebrating me, I allowed myself to wallow in what I didn’t have.
{didn’t help that I told Jimmy not to get me anything, which he took to mean no card or flowers either. sigh. must we spell out everything?}
But, that’s okay…he made up for it later.
{ew, not like that.}

Thankfully I caught myself by the end of the day, and made a conscious decision to turn my emotions around, but I still felt I needed to apologize…as I could tell my mood had affected his day as well.
I have to share his response, because it really makes sense.
And I know there are more people, other than myself, who need to hear his wisdom and be reminded.

I understand your ups and downs, and you need to know that I am totally OK with that, that is normal and human.
My point is that I just want you to be happy and feel secure through the ups and downs. I can deal with your ups and downs no problem, I just have a hard time dealing with you being broken hearted and discouraged. It breaks my heart and I feel powerless to help and encourage you – God doesn’t want you to live that way.
I will always be here for you, so rest in that security, don’t worry about the process.
Just think about being present, meditate on the good things, and don’t let the future or negativity have a place in your mind and heart. We truly have nothing to worry about. Our life is good and comfortable, our kids are awesome, and when our lives are over, we will be with God.
I know you like to be thorough and make sound decisions, but sometimes I think you over-think things a little… sometimes things are simpler than we would expect.
Just have time with God, be light hearted, and you will know what to do without having to try hard to figure out your path. I promise.
Thank you baby, for your love and patience and understanding. I am truly blessed.
You are so much more than just a hot bod.

Wow. He really is so much more than a hot bod. That’s an incredibly calm, insightful, and supportive email. I am impressed! (and encouraged about the male species).
I heart Jimmy. What a sweetie pie… and he’s hot.
Now that is a really, really good man.
Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you!! Hope it turned out great! You’re lucky to have an awesome husband and 2 adorable kids!
What he said to you is the most important thing that makes him “hot” as a husband. Don’t ever let him go!!
All around, this story speaks to my core (mom, mood, wise hubby). Jimmy may be a genius:)
That he is… You can add supportive and wise beyond his years to the list. What a blessing to have such a fabulous man to partner you through this life – my husband is cut from the same cloth.
Beautiful words from a clearly beautiful man…. and a man you totally deserve!
Very wise stuff here, milady. I overthink the crap out of everything, and it is really hard to see that sometimes, things really are that simple.
Thanks Hot Bod Jimmy.
