Sometimes, I have those moments where I'm in full-blown creative mode. I could think of 100 ideas off the top of my head, my eyes get really big and my voice gets quite animated. Not many people see that side of me (and it doesn't happen that often), but Hubster does. When I get overcome with dreams, projects and ideas, he always nods his head in full agreement. And it's not the kind of nod and smile that's dismissive. It's the real thing. The "I'll build that for you" or "I'll take you there" type of nod.
He's offered to help me with DIYs that I've come up with for on here. The type that would normally have me putting supplies back on the shelf not knowing quite how to implement the project. Hubster even gives me more ideas than I started with and works through them with me to make them work or make them better. He sits in the hardware store for longer than he had anticipated to try and bounce around ideas with me. He even offers to check a different store for me when we don't quite find what we're looking for.
When I went in for my NASM test, he actually told me he said a prayer for me. I mean, this brings water to my eyes just writing about it. The man of quiet faith who rarely goes to church or talks about religion. I know he's a believer, but he rarely shows it or speaks a word of it. He actually prayed for me, and told me that he prayed for me. I mean, I was so flabbergasted and grateful at the same time.
When I spout off ideas about workout videos and projects for this blog and my new personal training career, he obliges the role of photographer. He even spent an entire day alone in Chicago with Peanut while I went to an NASM workshop. He even agrees when I want to spend money on this stuff. Some of it comes from my own stash, but he's super supportive of my spending--but he knows I am super diligent and super-conservative about spending so he trusts my decisions.
Hubster, thanks for being behind me on this one! It's these things that make me remember how much I appreciate you and just how lucky I am. It makes a world of difference to have someone who supports you with his heart and soul. Mwah!
