To Jeff, Love, Me

This is Jeff little bit over a year ago, he was on deployment, before I'd met him ;)"Pre-Heidi".

Anyway, I get alot of thinking time when he's gone. Probably too much. And, with that, comes grattitude and feeling appreciative of a person. I guess you can attribute it to the absence makes the heart grow fonder scenario. It seems like I'm more grateful now, alot of it due to Landon.

So, Jeffy.. Thank you for..

-Being such a wonderful father to both my kids. I know you miss them, but soon you'll be home!
-Being a beyond amazing husband.
-Putting up with all of my whining the 8 months I was pregnant with Landon.
-Making sure that I am taken care of, as well as the kids.
-Having faith.
-Treating me very well, and with respect.
-Loving my family.
-Having a good relationshp with Leena.
-All those late nights with Landon. There are more to come, his life has just started!
-All those many drives out to Issaquah.
-The many bear hugs and "real" kisses.
-For always telling me you love me.
-Taking care of the things, that I don't want to deal with.
-For watching Ghost Hunters with me.
-For doing the lawn, I couldn't do it!
-Singing along to Jack's Mannequin with me in the car.
-All my peppermint hot chocolate drinks :)
-All our dinner dates.
-The phone calls home.
-Finding random DFS with me
-Being a good father figure to Leena.
-Being pushy, sometimes I need it.
-Being a friend, and human tissue if needs be.
-The many shows we have been to.
-My life partner.
-For putting up with me and my snappyness, when it does occur.

This list could go on forever, and take hours. I've always thought we've made a hell of team, and with time, I'm learning I was right when I thought that. Some may say we went too fast, but I think it was all perfect. You're my partner in crime. The one person who has a big enough heart, for me, my kids and everything important to me, and us. The one person who'd get teary with me as I cried because you were leaving me for a long period of time. Which, as sad as that moment is, it's also somehow sweet.

If I look back to not meeting you, how I'd be so different, and possibly unhappy. You're a wonderful person, inside and out. I'll always still be madly in love with you, because you are who you are. You always greet me with a smile, a hug and a kiss. Which is the best thing for me. I'll always love you, and only want wha'ts best for you. I love you Jeff!
