Some ways Josh blesses me:
He lets me have the last piece/bite of food if I want it
He gives me massages when I ask, but usually lets me off the hook for returning the massage
He takes Noah when he runs errands so I can have a little break
He cooks if I don't and never once has gotten mad at me for not
He encourages me to go out by myself more often while he keeps the kids
He is so, so, so handy and can fix just about everything we need fixed
He gets up with Anna at night just as much as I do
He calls a lot when he is out of town
He brings me little surprises when he gets home from trips or errands
He will make phone calls for me because I get too freaked out to do them myself
He is so very selfless...I feel like he puts me before himself all the time
He says he prefers me without make-up on (although, I still can't tell if that is an insult to the way I put on make-up or not)
He listens to my teeny, tiny daily details when I retell them and he cares (and if he doesn't, I at least feel like he does)
He cleans the bathrooms when they need it
He loves our babies
He changes diapers, dresses, bathes, holds, feeds, and plays with our babies
He does Noah's bedtime routine every single night he is home
He wears nose strips at night (so I can sleep better) even though he hates them
Once he stayed up all night with me because I was so upset about not being able to sleep
He doesn't hound me if I buy something he thinks we didn't need
He is genuinely helpful with anything he can help with...he never complains
If we both have something to watch on TV at the same time, he lets me watch mine and he records his for later
He has made my love and desire to grow our family by adoption his own love and desire
He was my savior during those early days (and especially nights) with Anna and all her crying
He listens to me, considers me, and encourages me
He likes my company
He plans his trips out of town for days when Noah has school so that I won't be so outnumbered or stressed
He will leave for a day trip at 3:00 in the morning to keep from having to be gone overnight the night before
He provides for this life that allows me to be home for our family

what a good guy! Way to go Josh...you're a good man to my sister!!!! That makes him a fantastic bro-in-law!
Way to go, Kimmie, of thinking of all the things you love about your husband. So often, it seems I can find the negative qualities about Kore and overlook all the wonderful and amazing qualities that he has. I may just have to post a blog just like this one, honoring my soul mate!
Hooray for wonderful husbands! And for thankful wives... :)
What would we do without men that cooked :).
