Thanksgiving...

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was gooble, gooble good. My Thanksgiving was great and I'll post about it and the CA trip soon, but tonight I want to give thanks to my Cody.

He is a hard worker.

He's a hit with my nephews.

He is on top of things - he gets things done.

He hates fish and never requests it for dinner (I hate fish too).

He is sensitive to me and my needs.

He vacuumed yesterday, bought me a red poinsettia plant for our coffee table, and cleaned up for my return to AR (he flew home one day earlier than me).

Which brings me to my next point - He lets me vacation more than him. I flew to CA on Monday and he didn't until Wed. and he flew home one day earlier than me. He's just selfless like that.

I have so much in my life to be grateful for and one of my most treasured blessings is a husband who was worth waiting for (through bad dates, Mr. Wrongs, and years of no significant other).

Today is the Superbowl...

the World Series...

the U.S. Open...

the NBA Playoffs...

March Madness...

the Stanley Cup Playoffs...

the World Cup...

of politics and Cody couldn't be more enthralled. My husband loves going to sporting events and will watch sports on the television in social environments, BUT he is not the type of man to watch Sports Center at the end of the day or a game (whether playoff or not) on his own.

And although he's not an avid sports lover, he is obsessed with politics. He has scheduled our employees today so that he can vote, and then retire to the house early for watching everything politics.

And now I find myself asking him if we are going to be ordering in tonight so that we don't miss any announcements. Who am I? When did I start caring? I now watch Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC (in that order). All channels I wasn't acquainted with prior to marrying my husband.

So in conclusion: Cody is unlike most men when it comes to sports, but competition is competition - whether in sports or politics - and like other men, he does love himself a good competition.

Off to watch some political commentary and outcomes.
