I just read a post that my friend Leslie's husband did for her birthday. I got a little teary... he was really sweat! It made me want to hug my husband. For those of you that know my husband- yes, I said hug- not hit. I don't see him much- and I love it. I do. I love it because he is happy and doing something that he has fallen in love with. So I know that the long hours and months away are worth it. He tripped and fell face first into Podiatry- thank goodness! So this is my life. Missing my husband- who is spending way too much time with feet. I am learning to not throw up a little in my mouth when he answers the question, "how was work today." I am learning to ask questions that I don't really want the answers to. I am learning why my big toe points up like a ski slope. I am learning the difference between pronated and supinated- dorsiflexion and planterflexion. I am learning a laundry list of gross terms for ulcers. I am learning how to amputate a foot- should the need arise. I am learning how much Dale really hates my shoes- but how much he loves me, because he bites his tongue while I ruin my feet. I am learning why I was so patient while Dale "found his path"- because I want him to be happy. That's what makes me happy. So today was a pretty unremarkable day. The sun was shinning, my kids were happy, and I was reminded that it doesn't take a special day to remember the people that you love. Plus- It doesn't hurt that he looks so cute in scrubs.

Cute post. I tried calling you last week and as it was ringing I had to jump in my pool and save Eastons friend from drowning-nice huh? He told me he could swim but apparently NOT! Clothes and all, I'm glad he's okay. So I will try calling you again when I am sitting at my pool watching kids who can SWIM!
AAAAWWW Dale, such a cute little foot doctor! And you, a doctors wife!
That's a cool post...I needed this reminder now that we're on audition # what?:) When I was in college and before I was dating James, I had a "moment" where I decided I wanted my husband to do what made him happy more than anything else so that each day he came home he'd be fulfilled...too bad it takes SO LONG to get there sometimes! That is really cool you did that post. Thanks.:)
