\"IMG_2916\"<\/a>I have the sweetest husband in the world. \u00a0Since I’m working full time and in school full time, Dallin is constantly supporting me. \u00a0Yesterday morning, I woke up to this cute lunch that he prepared for me since I’d be on campus all day. \u00a0Strawberries and nutella? \u00a0That’s love right there.<\/p>\n

It’s not like he packs my lunches every so often, it is literally every day. \u00a0When I come home after working and being in classes, I\u00a0then have to start doing all of my homework and then making international calls for my job into the late hours of the night\/early hours of the morning. \u00a0While I’m busy typing away or studying, he makes us dinner. \u00a0Every. single. night. \u00a0He even cleans it up too. \u00a0This morning I woke up to a smoothie for breakfast.<\/p>\n

It’s the littlest things. \u00a0Every washed dish. \u00a0Spontaneous ice cream trips. \u00a0Dance parties. Pillow fights. \u00a0Sneaking up from behind me and kissing me on the cheek. \u00a0Knowing where I left my phone when I can’t find it. \u00a0Rolling over in bed and cuddling in the morning before the day starts. \u00a0Getting me a drink of water. Listening to my venting. Letting me kiss him whenever I want.<\/p>\n

I truly appreciate all that he does. Sometimes I get worked up that I am not doing more to contribute. \u00a0I wish I could cook more for him and have dinner ready for him when he gets home from work .\u00a0I know that time will come in the future\u00a0because “for every thing there is a time and a season,” but right now we’re doing different things. \u00a0We tease Dallin\u00a0about being the “housewife,” but that’s not what marriage is. \u00a0We each give where we can. \u00a0Right now Dallin is keeping me alive (literally) and serving me. \u00a0If we are both contributing all that we can and selflessly serving each other (it goes both ways), then we will be happy. \u00a0I am constantly working to be better, but I have never learned so much of love.<\/p>\n

Dallin is a man who is constantly willing to serve others. \u00a0He serves me and loves me every day. \u00a0He goes above and beyond on all of his jobs at work. \u00a0He is always trying to volunteer at church and find ways to serve in the community. \u00a0He is a man of faith and a man of action.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how I got so lucky. \u00a0I am so happy. \u00a0 I love him\u00a0with all of my heart and all that I am.<\/p>\n
