I certainly appreciate mine as well...its great to have a guy who, when you bat your eyes and say "Sweetie, how hard would it be to set up *another* brooder in the barn?"..he smiles and says, "I suppose I could figure it out how to make it work..." and sighs and shakes his head...but you catch him smirking.
I'm very spoiled. :)

I am proud of my DH, this picture is from his second tour in Iraq. He has been in the military for 24 years. 18 in active duty Army and after 9/11 the Air Force National Guard. He is my second Husband and married me when I had two teenagers in the house! We will celebrate our 10th anniversary on June 9th.

I had no idea. And he will be home today! I really do appreciate my hubby. We have been married 31 years. About half of those years he has been driving a truck. That could be why we are still married! He is the best man. He's very laid back too. A very nice guy. He lets me be me too. He always wants me to be happy above all else. He loves his kids and grandkids so much and would do anything for them. He's a great friend to many. And a very good hard working truck driver. Just got his safety bonus to prove it. He has gotten one every year. And that only goes to drivers who have had no wrecks or accidents. They are always sending him letters or calling him to tell him what a great job he's doing. I am very proud of mu husband.

Sounds like a lot of us have some great men in our lives! Sorry about the size of that photo, I tried to resize it a couple of times to no avail.

I am proud of my hubby. We will be married 13 years on Aug 4th. He is a wonderful father and a great hubby. He is the most caring and sharing person I have ever met. He may look gruff and act that way sometimes. But he has a heart of gold.
There are lots of pics of us on my blog.

You are so right, Diane, hehehe...that on top of the fact that my father in law prayed a blessing over our "reproductive systems" at our rehearsal dinner when we got married. I was mortified at the time and all my friends laughed at me, but it's a funny memory now. I blame it all on him :) My husband calls me Fertile Myrtle. If he touches me the wrong way, babies happen LOL!

Okay girls . . . here we are . . . this pic is about a year old.
We haven't changed much. Sorry about the sunglasses . . but out here we wear them a lot . . pretty close to the sun.
That is my sweet little pooch, Bramble. She is a sweet, friendly, fun Australian Cattle Dog.

I have a truly amazing hubby! He works his behind off for me around here and gardening isn't his thing. He is a wonderful father and a great husband. He adopted my oldest daughter after we had only been married for 2 years. He never even hesitated when my ex asked him to adopt her. We now have 3 girls and he is so outnumbered. He swears he wouldn't trade it for the world. It'll be 13 years on October 31. Halloween night! He's got a sense of humor too! I love him!

Well, I appreciated my husband today by letting him sit on the deck and watch me clean out my flower beds, pulling out dead stalks, raking up stuff, etc. I had him meet me at the cherry tree with pruning saw to help me prune the tree. Now we're going to have pizza, salad and margarita coolers for supper . . .
Tomorrow we get to work on getting our garden cleaned up and ready to till . . . and we aren't talking about a teeny tiny garden plot!!!!
Here's to our hubbys!!! GOD BLESS THEM, ONE AND ALL!!

Thank you girls for sharing your lovely photos!!! Thanks CJ for bringing this up.
Siobhan, I disagree with you. I have the best husband 
My honey is wonderful, we have been married for 13 years and he still calls me his bride. Which is funny when he introduces me, everyone thinks that we are newlyweds :) Michael is my love, my best friend, my protector. I love his smile, his eyes, how he opens doors for me and pulls out my chair, and when he orders for me too. I am blessed beyond measure with a wonderful husband. Thank you Lord!
BTW: He got Buttermilk Pie for dessert tonight :)

Saw this a day too late.
Mine is the best too. He keeps the farm going, indulges my chicken whims and has been a rock and pillar of faith based strength.
It's a drop in the bucket but we'll celebrate 10 years in October.
WOW where did the time go!? |

Well, I am letting mine go play with his friends today. They are going on another motercycle run to who knows where. The guy travels all over the country and comes home and rides all day during the weekends. I just don't know. But the weather is perfect for a ride. So I will let him go play today.

I wasn't on much yesterday, so just saw this now, thanks CJ for sharing what special day it is... guess we can have Husband Appreciation Weekend!
I have been married to Jim for 31 1/2 years. We have had our share of hard times, but let me tell you that he is the most patient, understanding guy around. He has always been a great dad, and now grampa, and has always kept my life exciting!!! (Guess I should have known that was coming the day he picked me up for a date on his motorcycle!)
He has always worked hard, and I have been blessed that he did whatever he had to to make sure I could stay home when the kids were small. Back when our youngest was 6, he started working part time for UPS so we could have excellent insurance. 15 years later, he is still there, even though the insurance is just for the 2 of us now. This means he gets up at 2 or 3 most mornings, and most weeks gets at least 30 hours in there. He also has his own financial planning business that he started 25 years ago.
Even though he can fix cars and motorcycles, he is not handy with tools. Right now though, he is building a chicken coop for our 33 chicks. He gets frustrated with it, but I know he will do a fine job.
I really do appreciate my husband!
ETA: This was taken 2 1/2 years ago at our youngest daughter's wedding.

Yeah MEN! Keep em coming girls. Mine is gone again today. He is at a Revolutionary War Veterans Appleseed Shooting Event in Lodi, WI. He is an instructor. They teach old marksmanship skills and Revolutionary War History. We need to let them do their "guy" things once in a while.

I wish I knew how to put pictures here..My son who will be a wonderful husband in 60 more days. Just left. He hooked up a new computer for me. My husband of only 59 days short of 4 years is a good guy also. He just went on a major spring cleaning. But he took time to take my son & I out to lunch today which was wonderful. He's almost ready to settle down for the day.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

This picture is a couple of years old, our daughter is now taller than us! My husband is a kind, patient man, and a wonderful father. He loves his girls, and he says he can't wait to come home to us every night. He is an airplane pilot and mechanic. This picture is of a friend's helicopter they were given a ride in. He is my best friend, and we will be celebrating 20 years this October. I am a lucky and loved lady!
(sorry for the largness of the picture, I'll find out how to make them smaller before posting more!)
