A Story

Devin usually works until Midnight most nights, so Hallie and I retire to bed before he gets home. Sometimes I try to stay up to be able to see him for a minute, but I usually don't succeed. Often I will hear him when he comes home, though, and sometimes we have conversations when I am in that fun state between being awake and asleep. I sometimes remember snippets, sometimes nothing, and sometimes Devin reminds me of a few things I said. Always entertaining. So last night's conversation went like this:


Kim: Hi, Honey

Devin: Hi. Go back to sleep.

Kim: Why are you opening the mail?

Devin: I'm not.

Kim: I heard you opening something in the kitchen. What did we get in the mail? (I had already gotten the mail and opened it for the day, FYI)

Devin: Nothing, go back to sleep.

Kim: (getting quite agitated now) NO. I HEARD YOU OPENING SOMETHING IN THE KITCHEN. WHAT WERE YOU DOING??

Devin: I was just putting my lunch pail away. That's it.

Kim: Whatever. (I roll over and go back to sleep)

What a kind wife I am, huh?


Well, this morning I woke up to find this:

Made me feel like quite the jerk...particularly when he was trying to be secretive and surprise me.

What a gem of a husband I have! I know people hate mushy blogs about how great their husbands are, but I really could not be blessed with a more loving and kind husband. Now it is my turn to try to be a little nicer to him, eh?

On a side note, I have been trying for days to upload some new videos of Hallie, but blogger is being dumb and not working with me....so, I will keep trying. Anyone else having issues this way?

kim i think that's really really REALLY neat that you are adopting that sweet little girl. I did a study abroad in Romania and worked in the orphanages and I wanted to adopt every single kid there. So I think it's really neat what you guys are doing.
