A Busy Week

So for those of you who do not read my losing my needles blog anymore, I thought I'd give a little recap on what a week it's been. I started running, and today my knees hurt so badly that when I crouched down to put some pans away in a cupboard I thought that I would be stuck in that position for the rest of my life.
This week I was called a "Desperate Housewife" and a bad mom for putting my kids to bed by 8:30 because I just didn't want to deal with them.
This week I went and saw my good friend Jana steal the show in Once Upon a Mattress.
And finally this week I celebrated spending 5 wonderful years with my DH Jesse.
In celebration I thought I would share 5 things about Jesse that most people probably do not know.
1. In Jesse I found someone who is more paranoid than I am. I didn't think it was possible, but he jumps at noises more than I do. As I result, I feel very safe being married to him. He never takes any chances when it comes to his family's safety. (He would like to point out that I will not let him buy a gun.)
2. Jesse bites his nails when he is watching TV. He says that it is when he is nervous, but he also does it when he is apathetic. It is one of those things that is particularly endearing to me, yet at the same time, I don't want my children to learn that habit.
3. Jesse can pick up any sport he wants to play. Within weeks of learning a sport he is able to play with those who have been playing for years.
4. Jesse not only can learn sports quickly, but picks up other things quickly as well. He wants to be the best he can be at the things that he has been asked to do, whether it be his calling at church or assignments at work. He is extremely dedicated to learning the things that he needs to know.
5. Jesse has a very soft side to him, especially when it comes to his family. I know that he values us and could not live without us. (But I mean, really, who could?!)

So there is my week. I am very excited to end it sitting on the couch watching Ultimate Fighting Champion with my husband on our anniversary.

I am sooo glad you called Jesse your "DH" because I have been wondering what the heck that stands for. Please enlighten me.

Congrats on 5 years!

DH is internet talk for "Darling Husband" This is the first time I have ever used it. Kind of as a joke, since I don't really use things like that. I'm pretty sure that if you put a "D" in front of whoever you refer to, you can say whatever you want. Ie... "my DH hammered a hole in the wall as he was putting up a picture." What you really mean is- "I can't believe he's such a doofus," but since you called him your DH it comes across as- "you will not believe it, my husband did the cutest thing the other day..."
is it clear now?
