All about Cory

I know, I know...I am WAY behind on posting just about everything. It's sad, cause this is our family journal. I will get caught up eventually...just A LOT going on right now...it's had to take a back seat.

However, I did want to take just a minute and post a few quick thoughts about my wonderful husband. With everything going on these past few months he has been rather neglected by me. Yet, he has continued to amazing me with his ability work hard, see the positive side of things, stay optimistic, and make me laugh. I couldn't ask for better support. We actually just celebrated our 4 year anniversary and I can truly say I am happier today than I was the day I married him. Here are a just a few of the reasons why:

He is an amazing Father. He watches the boys for hours at a time, and not only does he just watch them, he builds forts, takes them for walks, teaches them to throw and kick a ball, as well as how to use a bat. He reads stories, dances "happy feet," sings them songs, throws them, spins them, feeds them. He is incredible. The boys adore him. They ask for him every time they wake up. They sob when he leaves and run to him when he gets home. This morning Noah would not let go of him. Cory was going to be late for the Coaster, but Noah just didn't want him to leave.

He is extremely patient with and helpful toward me. Lets just say, I am definitely pregnant, yet he is ever patient, humble and willing to serve. He cleans the kitchen nightly, sometimes multiple times a day. He rubs my back and makes runs to Jack in the Box when I need a Sour Dough Jack. He cleans the bathrooms w/o being asked. He even gets up with the boys in the morning on the weekends so that the new baby and I can "get some extra rest." He never gets to sleep in...and he gets up at 5:30 most school mornings, so I'm sure he would like to. In fact the reason he gets up at 5:30 is so I can have the car. He could get up at 6:30 and take the car, but he wants to make sure I can get out of the house if I need to.

Aside from all of this, he is helping immensely with getting our business off the ground, spending hours each week invested in it. He is pretty much designing and building our website and since he has very little experience there, he has had to learn a lot in the process. However, he is doing a wonderful job.

In addition, don't forget that he is still a full time law student! He rarely misses class and works exceptionally hard to do well. And it has paid off! He just got his grades from last semester and he got an A- average! He also got an academic award for getting the top grade in his Advanced Legal Writing Course, which is incredible. Writing is something that I am just not talented at...especially something like legal writing, yet Cory and whip out 20 page papers in a couple of nights and consistently get A's on them. He amazes me.

So, that is my husband. Sometimes, I really wonder how I got so lucky...
