Pace has watched 2 chick flicks in a row with me!!! 17 Again, and Julie & Julia. This is a big deal. I was pretty excited when he said that we could go see Julie & Julia for our date night the other night– yes, without the kids (thanks to the McGrandparents)!
Today, Pace spent several hours helping with various tasks (preparing some Joy School materials, taking care of the kids, fixing my computer problems, cleaning things up when the messes were stressing me out, etc.). We have learned a lot being married nearly 5 years– things like praising one another, and doing things that make the other person’s life happier and more enjoyable. I am grateful that Pace is so service-oriented and involved with our kids. (Not to brag, just to give some credit where it’s definitely due! And if you get sick hearing someone’s praise for another person, then something is wrong with you.)
One more thing: Last night, we went to Pace’s work party at a nearby aquatic center. Pace loved the FlowRider surfing machine they had there, and found a lot more success on the boogie board than on the surfboard. I watched him do a flip AND then a somersault! I was so proud and excited for him. That’s my MAN!!!
