I'm thankful for: Matt

I have an absolutely wonderful husband.



I love watching Matt coach... he's such a good teacher (something that I'm not so good at) and very patient with his boys. If they don't get a technique the first time he explains it, he can always think of a new creative way to explain the same thing. I appreciate that he is a kind and gentle (yet firm & manly!) coach. He doesn't fly off the handle, he is always consistent.




I made this list of "awesome husband qualities" when I was 17 years old... I framed it and gave it to Matt on our wedding night and now it hangs in our bedroom. The qualities I listed on August 29th 1997 were:

friend
man of God
someone I admire
brave
fun
funny
can make me laugh
CREATIVE
romantic
loving
caring
smart
handsome
family man!
responsible
trustworthy
initiator
athletic
good listener
good discusser


I had no idea that all of this would come wrapped up in the package that is Mr. Matthew Danger Troxell. However, I am extremely thankful that the Lord knew just who & what I needed!




Tonight, I am thankful for his handiness! I recently became fed up with the way our house looked so I decided to paint... which has since led to other things and tonight Matt is replacing our sink/vanity in the bathroom. I'm one blessed girl! :)




I'm thankful for my "Big Bad Wolf!"
