Melt With You

We were in Yuma on Saturday for my cousin's daughter's reception (got that?). Other than it being the hottest day of the year (100+!!), we had a really great time. Jason was a huge help and one of my cousins made a comment about how every time she's at a reception or wedding with him, he's always helping. To that I replied, "That's why I married him, so I could be lazy." Of course the laziness piece of that was a joke, but Jason's willingness to work hard and help others is certainly one of my most favorite of his qualities. He's incredibly selfless with his time and physical strength and is not afraid of hard work. If someone needs help, he's there. He'll sacrifice a lot to help someone out. He doesn't complain, he just gets it done. This weekend was an extreme example of that being realized.

Jason stayed up late Friday night to clean the house for dinner at our house Sunday. He then woke up early Saturday morning to get the yard work done before heading to Yuma. Once we got to Yuma, he helped non-stop to set up for the reception we were there to attend. Once the reception was over, he worked until every last thing was taken care of. He was the only one outside doing the "manly" stuff for the last little while. He drove all the way home and only need me to pinch and slap him to keep him awake the last little bit. We didn't get back home until about 1:30am and didn't get to bed until 2:30am. He woke up with the kids (around 7:00am) and made breakfast (eggs and hashbrowns). After church, he helped me set up for our family dinner and cleaned up the kitchen before taking a quick nap.

I love being married to someone that volunteers to help and doesn't stop until things are done. He doesn't make excuses, just gets to work. It always makes me smile when I watch him helping and know that I get to claim him as mine.
