Well, I just got back from a long weekend in Colorado, and my husband was just the man I wanted to come home to. :) Not that I ever really want to to come home to another man... He just always impresses me, even when I'm so frustrated and confused. Suddenly there he is, standing by my new car, with a brand new radio he had put in while I was gone. Not only that, but I saw the bags of gifts he bought while I was away, and I am so happy. Not just because he actually got me something: but because he thought about it. He saw what I wanted and he went out to get it, ignoring the price tags, and seeing instead my happiness.
Its a little ironic, since the night before I had been discussing with Cara how frustrated he makes me most of the time. And it was like God heard me, and just rearranged some things. Even in some hard times, its good to know He's still there, and He's still in control. Not only that, but my Savior has perfect timing. And when things get tough, I lean on that promise.
We'll be spending Christmas day not with our families this year, which saddens us, but with some military friends who will also be alone. Two or three guys are coming over for a dinner (which I have to cook). The menu so far consists of honey glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, asparagus (Matthew's request), and rolls. With a chocolate pudding pie for dessert. We'll see how it all turns out... I've never made this big of a meal before, and I've never cooked for anyone that isn't family. Wish me luck, and I'll let you know how this all turns out!
