Husband of the Year Award!

and the prize goes to.... Tom Christensen! for taking his wife's week long absence to clean the entire house and surprise her when she got home!!

He could have watched sports and ordered pizza, he could have slept in and done nothing.. but no! He LOVES me! He loves me and wanted to do something to make me happy! :D
He called up Kirty and asked her to give him some guidance on how to start. My clean, organized, selfless friend brought her two little kids over to my overly messy house and helped my husband get started at putting it back together. I really want to thank her as well for her amazing willingness to help us out, but she definitely wanted to make known that Tom did most of it, sometimes I guess you just need a little push to get started, i know i do.
So thank you, thank you, thank you to my wonderful husband, who worked 40+ hrs last week and still managed to give me the best surprise I've had in years. My house feels so warm and welcoming. I feel like I have a fresh start and am excited to get on with Holiday plans without that dark cloud hanging over me.

My Tom is such a sweet thoughtful guy, I know I don't acknowledge often enough how much he does for me and Ainsley. He works so hard, but still has time to brighten our days with his warm silly nature. He makes my life interesting, and makes me feel safe wherever we are. Thanks honey, I love you!

Well done, Tom! I LOVE a clean home. It lends organization to all other areas of life. Too bad mine isn't anywhere near clean...... lol

Totally unrelated thought: We need to get RJ and Tom together. ;) lol
