While I'm sittin here writing on my blog, you know what Jacob's doing? He's bathing the boys. He just finished helping me clean up dinner and then he took the boys around the house to clean up. But I'm tired so I took a break. I'm not used to a husband doing so much. It's completely 50/50 when he gets home from work (okay, he sometimes does more than half the work), and I'm not used to a husband doing that (don't want to talk bad about the ex, but he wasn't that way at all when I was married to him - maybe he's changed, I dunno).
Jacob's been such a blessing to me and the boys. It's sweet to see Easton and Teagan have so much fun with him but respect him at the same time. He has worked wonders in bringing order and stability to my little family - the boys are on a schedule, Easton has learned to obey his mom, and we do family scripture study and prayers and activities daily.
I love my husband. He has showed me that I can trust him, that I don't have to feel inadequate or worry anymore if an attractive woman walks by. I know where his heart is and where his thoughts and adoration are. There's a warmth and security I feel in his arms, an assurance that no matter what we face he'll be with me and he'll never leave or look elsewhere for fullfillment. One would think that having been through what I went through that I would be cynnical and paranoid that a man couldn't be faithful to his wife. And I thought that I would, but I trust Jacob completely. It's refreshing, it's comforting, and I can be happy knowing that I have what I want for myself and my sweeties. Just another one of the Lord's mercies in my life.
