PHOTO ALBUM | Why am I So Lucky????

Wednesday night was a ROUGH night for me. It was probably the first time in my life that I have suffered insomnia. If you know me well...you know that me and my sleep are inseparable. So, after a night of about 2 hours of sleep- I was definitely running on nothing but flames (and Diet Coke!!). The kids and I had been at my mom's house for a few hours working on a project. When we walked in the house (just before bed time)...this is what I found:
A SPOTLESS HOUSE!!!
Vern had apparently been VERY busy
(but not the decorations...those are still left over from Love Day)


He even cleaned our room and closet!!

He had wiped and vacuumed. Swept and scrubbed.
Even the high chair (my personal nemesis) was spotless.


The desk was cleared off...the papers put away. My JUNK piles magically gone!
(ps- this was the desk I made....all by myself!! I'm just excited it hasn't fallen apart...YET!! jk)


Not only were the dishes done, and the sink cleaned....

But the WHOLE kitchen was nearly spotless
(until I got home with my piles of crap of course!!)

Well...around 9:30pm, Vern whisked me off to bed (no one knows better than Vern how inseparable me and sleep truly are!!). I thought he would be coming to bed just after me. But at 2:00am, I woke up to an empty bed and lights gleaming down the hall. I went to investigate and found Vern...doing ALL our laundry.
EVERY LAST PIECE!!

They were folded and sorted...

Hung and piled...

And, even in my sleep deprived stupor, I found myself wondering
"What did I ever do to deserve a man this WONDERFUL??"
He never stops amazing me, and I never stop falling madly in love with him...all over again, and again, and again!!! He is truly my EVERYTHING!!

Sometimes I wish my brothers weren't so great. . . How do you find someone like them who ISN'T related to me?
