*Blushing*

I'm blushing over here, but also relishing in the bloggy love! I've gotten three awards this week from people who read my blog. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Thanks for reading, supporting, commenting, making me laugh, and keeping me entertained with your blogs!

I'm totally loving my blog flair over on the sidebar with these awards. I feel so posh! ;o)

Okay, enough about me, let's talk about me - I mean my husband. Well, I've been tagged a bunch the past few weeks too, and that means I'm supposed to tell six unique things about me. Well, I am quirky and unique, but I've already told all of you about that one too many times. So I decided to switch it up a bit and tell y'all some of Oby's quirks. This was actually a challenge. It wasn't hard thinking of quirky things about him, but narrowing it down to only six was where the difficulty came in! But I managed, and here ya go....

1. He is honest. This may sound like a compliment, and in some ways it is. Before I met Oby, I'd met way too many men who were not truthful and it didn't take me long to figure out that Oby's motto was 'say it like it is.' It was soooo refreshing to me, and I loved it! Well, I still appreciate this virtue in him for the most part, but, well, have you heard of the term 'brutally honest?' Let's just say I'd just like to take some of the brutality out of the virtue, if ya know what I mean!

2. He is committed. If Oby tells you he will be there, he WILL be there. He will never flake out. He will always be on time, well most likely five minutes early. If he sets a goal, he will accomplish it. When he makes a decision about something, he sticks to it.

3. He is goofy. He is soooo goofy. This boy is always making me laugh. But ugh there is nothing worse than laughing when you're mad. He is a master at making people laugh when they're mad at him. Even when he was a child, if he would do something naughty (which happened often) and his mom would get mad at him, he would do this silly dance and annoying laugh, and she couldn't help but laugh and it would make her sooooo mad! Oh, he does the same thing to me all the time, and he's teaching it to Chloe. She can't do it on her own, but if she's being fussy and I start getting irritated about it, he'll pick her up and make her do the dance and laugh.... before long, we're all laughing. He's a nut! And he really cranks up the goofiness when we go out of town. I don't know what it is, but if we're not at home, he just really decides he needs to be silly. Just about everything he says and does makes me laugh. I love it!

4. He thinks outside of the box. The way he thinks and problem solves is beyond my comprehension. Because he takes a different approach to things, he often comes up with different conclusions and solutions that are simple yet brilliant. It is so intriguing to me. He amazes me.

5. He is a man of God. Once he does come up with solutions to life's problems, he always takes them to the Lord in prayer. Even though he is decisive, he is also incredibly humble. He will often have made up his mind about something, then after a prayer, he will be able to change course without hesitation, if he felt prompted to do so during his conversation with the Lord. I am much more stubborn than him in that way, and I am grateful for his faithfulness. It is enlightening.

6. I know he loves me unconditionally. Without making you all gag, and go into too much detail, just know that Oby loves me and I know it without a doubt. I am immensely grateful for this type of love. It is empowering and uplifting.

I love you Obadiah!!!
