My awesome husband

Ok, if the overdose of kid stories didn't get you to remove the blog from "favorites" - here we go. Just wanted to post up a comment on how great my husband is (yes, I realize I'm biased or at least numb after 11 years). While I've been "demonstrating flexibility" doing largely the same job at the same company with a same routine, he's been transitioned to an incredibly new job for horrible pay (ok no pay) with an uncooperative and unappreciative team (the 3-year old isn't always an angel, despite the suggestive blogs and our latest maid quit last week), and a list of expectations that seems both sort of reasonable (could you pick up milk today?) and impossible (and find some deodorant too?). So what prompts me to write this?
  • He did it (moved here, quit his job, and such)
  • He mostly still smiles at me and still claims to love me
  • He's an awesome dad
  • He usually has a drink poured when I stroll in at 9 or so...including one for me!
  • He did find me deodorant
  • He made corn dogs for the party on a stick (more to come on this)
  • He joined the Overseas Womens Club... AND signed up to be the male members' liason with gusto and a laugh. I'm saving the newsletter article for the scrapbook for sure - now that deserves an award for flexibility!!
  • He stays involved in what he loves - reaching out to the CHMM and other environmental organizations here in Bangalore and making tons of new contacts at the Universities and other organizations
  • He's been awesome at taking on a range of new challenges and "assignments" with a largely positive attitude and flexibility in a way that I could only aspire to model
  • Just cuz.

Anyhow, I think it's pretty cool, and I feel lucky to have my job and even luckier to have my husband that makes it possible... and fun.
