I feel like I say this a lot, but I am so grateful for Ryan. He has so many amazing characteristics that I am grateful for; I could be grateful for Ryan every day of the year and never mention the same thing twice. So, for yesterday and today, I am grateful that he could make it home on time. I don't know how many business trips he's been on that he's been delayed coming home due to weather. We had a big snow storm yesterday, and I was afraid that I would get a call that his flight had been delayed or cancelled, but I received no such call. Hooray!

Yesterday evening, Ryan got home, we ate dinner, had family home evening, and then Ryan worked on more applications for hours. He has an amazing drive - he had been working 12-hour night shifts and had not really slept in days, and he came home and worked until late on his business school applications. That is amazing to me.

Today, I am grateful that Ryan is so good at taking care of me without being pushy or telling me what I need to do. I had taken the boys to the gym so Ryan could have some quiet in order to sleep this morning (he took a comp day - thank goodness). I dropped the kids off at the child watch and went to exercise. I didn't get more than 2 minutes in before someone came to get me because Max was spitting up like a ferocious beast and was really fussy. I went and calmed him down (I can't do much for the spit up). He calmed down, so I went back to exercise. I got almost 10 minutes when someone came for me because Max was screaming his head off. He was getting hysterical, so I decided to bag exercising and take the kids home. When I got home, Max calmed down and went to sleep. Then Ryan asked if I wanted to go back to the gym - without any kids. It was amazing how much more my mind was at ease knowing that I could work out without distraction because I knew my kids were at home with their dad. How wonderful. I love Ryan.
