Anniversary call

Ed's on call tonight which kind of sucks because it's our anniversary today. He did it so we could go to our nephew's birthday party tomorrow and he'd be off, which was thoughtful of him. It was so nice in Georgia because he had call once every 2 months. Of course, he had to stay in house. Here he has call once a week and one weekend every 7 weeks, either a Sat or Fri/Sun, but it's beeper from home, so if nothing is going on he gets to stay home.

In the beginning it was hard to get used to, now I'm used to it. But with all the burglaries in Jefferson City the last few months, I had him show me where the gun was and how to use it. A bit more comfort there. And the dog would probably wake us all up, protective thing that he is. Still, whenever he's on call, I just expect him to be gone all night. So it's a treat when he gets to come home for the evening, even better, when he gets to sleep at home. If there just weren't so many darn women having babies :) They think they don't need any meds, until they're dilated to, like, a 4, then they're screaming and my husband has to sleep at the hospital until they're delivered, and it's always in the middle of the night.

Recently it's just the thought that he gets paid overtime for that, that allows any contentment for it all. I guess I'm taking on his attitude of rolling eyes at all the complaining women...now that I'm done having babies. Yes, women go through a lot, and yes, men go through a lot listening to them complain. I'm married to such a wonderful man. Never complained about any of my complaining, which is amazing because I complained a lot. But I guess not as much as others because he always would thank me for not complaining as much as some others.

So today we've been married for ten years. Pretty fast how time flies. And wonderful. I really love our relationship. We don't really fight about anything. We pretty much agree on most things, and think the same about a lot of things that probably other couples fight over. Our relationship has always been easy (knock on wood that it always will be). He thinks things through so thoroughly that I've come to really respect his way of things. It's always better then mine, and in fact, much more sound then ANYONE else I know. It's a shame so many people lack common sense, and I mean just plain common sense. Of course, I am stubborn and sometimes insist on doing things my way, which only ends up aggrevating me.

I don't know how I got to be so blessed. He has truly blessed my life in every way. We have so much fun together, and now we have so much fun with our children. Today he sent me flowers: 10 red roses for 10 years of marriage, and 4 white, one for each child. I'm so happy, and he makes everything possible. I thank the Lord to having found me a perfect match.
