Mid year HOTY evaluation

Brian is still in the running for the Husband Of The Year (HOTY) award again this year. While he's not perfect, and still leaves his sweaty clothes draped over the tub for a week, and his soccer stuff right by the door when he comes in from a game, he's slowly improving. Now he actually folds and puts away his "might get another day of wear" clothes at night. And every now and then he'll clean the cat box without me asking him to! He maintains the exterior of our house beautifully, and our lawn is one of the best in the neighbourhood right now. In addition, he's always willing to share the workload with Trent, never complains when I take time away to do things with my girls, and to top it off, this past weekend he got me a random present "just because". Not any old present, though. No, this is the holy grail of Bon Jovi fans worldwide. The 1,000,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Box Set, which contains 4 CDs of mostly unreleased stuff, and a DVD!
Gifts aren't my primary mode of showing love, but I was so very impressed with this gesture because as we all know, Brian is... ahem... very frugal ;-) So it's doubly impressive that he spent money on a gift "just because".
What a sweet and thoughtful husband I have. I'm so lucky.
