I want to take a moment of your time and tell you of the greatest feeling in the world. It's that feeling you have when you know your life couldn't get any better. The feeling that makes you want to sit on the floor in the middle of the living room and cry tears of joy. That feeling you get when you look into the eyes of your beloved.
A few days ago, Adam and I had our monthly anniversary. For a spontaneous gift, he bought me a new copy of "Atlas Shrugged" that matches the other Ayn Rand books I have. We don't usually buy gifts on the monthly anniversaries, so this was a nice surprise for me.
The next day, Mike came over to work on our basement and Adam was down there helping him. I was upstairs reading my book. All of a sudden, my handsome hubby comes walking in and puts a heart made of copper wiring next to me on the couch. He had that adorable, innocent joyful look on his face. The heart was beautiful. It was another spontaneous show of love from my darling Adam. I hung it next to my side of the bed so that I can see it any time I want.
Yesterday, Adam and I had some errands to run. By the time we were done, I had a big headache that was just getting worse. We got home and I took some aspirin, but the pain elevated until I had to wear an eye mask to block out the light, and sit very, very still so I wouldn't throw up. Around that time, we found out that Mike was coming over again that evening. I had Adam help me to the bathroom, where I proceeded to get sick. While I was in there, my sweetheart arranged the pillows on the bed, brought me some ice water and snacks, tissues, popple, aspirin, and my phone. Placing all the items so that I could find them without having to see. Then he layed me down very gently, kissed my head, and quietly closed the door. He spent the evening helping Mike again, coming up to make sure I was alright every once and a while. Not often enough to disturb my head, but enough that I knew he was very concerned.
After Mike went home, Adam asked if I wanted him to go get some Excedrin. This meant walking to Macey's at 10 pm in the bitter cold. I would have said that he didn't have to do that, but the way he asked wasn't, "Do you want me to", it sounded more like, "Will you let me do this for you?" He left. When he returned, he came back with Excedrin AND my favorite Blueberry drink. It is expensive enough that we don't get it very often, but Adam figured that my tummy needed nutrition and a pure fruit drink was the right choice. He was hungry and frozen through and through, but he made sure I had my medicine and drink and was comfortable before thinking of himself.
My husband is the very best. I don't need jewelry, flowers, or chocolates. I have copper hearts and the most sensitive and compassionate man in the entire universe. Thank you, Adam, for all that you do for me.

Cool!! A few things though: perhaps I would say. He gets the award for UT, my personal election came up with my Stevie as "Husband of the Year". It would also be nice to have a bit more detail as to why this award has been bestowed? So, give!!!!!! :)
Sorry, but my husband wins it for the Universe. He was given the award for his actions outlined in the blog, those only being the most recent. Isn't that reason enough?
Thank you, Jenn. That was very sweet, even if a little embarrassing. I don't think I deserve the honorary title you've given me. (And it seems that I'm not the only one.)
My life revolves around you, and the world stops when you're not feeling well.
And you're wrong, my actions were very selfish! You see, I had to make you feel better again because I don't know what I would do without you. I was just trying to keep myself from being bored and lonely. ;) I'm kidding, of course.
I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope you get better still.
