husband 101

what love looks like
I couldn't let today end without extolling Scott's remarkableness.

First, I awoke to 12 of the most beautiful, long-stemmed pink roses. In our world of debt elimination, fresh cut flowers were a line-item budget cut, so these were a delightful surprise. And they smell just like roses should.

Then as I was helping the children reassemble all their beds with freshly laundered sheets and quilts, we began to notice delish smells wafting up into the second floor. I came down to discover that Scott had made dinner. And not just any dinner. A healthy, colorful, undo-all-the-holiday-eating-madness dinner. Using no recipe, he put together this amazing dish using all of his acquired knowledge of cooking ala Julia Child. What came out was a bowl of whole wheat noodles and freshly steamed vegetables tossed with olive oil, various spices, and Parmesan with Gorgonzola cheeses. The kids have all stopped in just to say, "Yum!"

We are so blessed to have Scott in our lives. Both as an amazing example of what a man should be, as well as what a man can be.
