Tribute to my Hubs

Yesterday, Feb 15th, was one of the most glorious days in the history of the world, as far as I'm concerned.  The birthday of my biggest blessing:  Jason Wulff-Woesten.  I just wanted to take a few minutes and write about my man and how cool he is.



Jason was born in Argentina.  Which makes him that much cooler.  I always wanted a foreign lover.  Even though his Spanish consists of "Dulce de Leche" and "chou pive"  I still find it sexy that he comes from South America, and he looks the part:  tall, dark, and handsome.  I'm a sucker for those dark browneyes.

Dreamy. 



Oh, did I mention he is a musician?  :) 

JACKPOT!


I was going to write about all the wonderful things he is and has done, but after typing for a while I realized it sounded kind of arrogant or braggy (if that's a word).  So I'll let my words be few...



I ADORE THIS MAN. 

He is beyond anything I asked God for as a little girl.  He is the exact fit to me.  I must give all the credit to my God, the sweet and caring God who loves to bless His daughters and sons.  I also have to say that our marriage is not always lollipops and butterflies- we have our moments like everyone else- yes, dirty socks never quite make it into the laundry basket, and yes, we can be cranky and mean sometimes... but at the end of every day, I feel overwhelmed with thankfulness to have such an incredible man that loves me and more importantly who fears the Lord.  He takes such great care of my heart and all my needs.  I couldn't ask for more.


Best decision I've ever made.





Told ya he was my perfect fit ;-) who else would wear an alligator head?

Oh yeah, and this guy is also my boss.  Taught me everything I know about interacting with customers and selling vehicles.  When I met him I didn't know the difference between Ford and Honda. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together every day.  I love it!!!

Addiction

Ok, I have a confession to make.  I am a vacation addict!  Seriously.  One of my favorite things to do in my free time is to research potential trips... I think I  inherited this trait from my mom and my Aunt Dayle.  Lucky for me, Jason loves to travel as well- and more than that, he loves a good deal.  I make it my life's goal to find irresistible deals to pitch to him :)  Well, ok, my life's goal is and should be to preach the gospel to all nations... emphasis on ALL NATIONS, and I like to traget those with tropical waters to explore.



My most sought-after vacation is any vacation that includes snorkeling.  I am hoping to get my own snorkel gear for my birthday, or any holiday.  Give me some clear water, fins, and a snorkel mask and I'll occupy myself for hours.  I snagged this picture off of google- it's in Thailand... I wish I was that guy!  He looks how I feel when I snorkle... or "Snerkle" as our guide, Ish, said in Belize.  It stuck with me.  "Snerkling!"  Say it, it's fun.


Belize was awesome because we got to swim with TONS of wild sting rays.  With stingers.  #SteveIrwin.  We also so a huge nurse shark, and J and I were stalked by a barracuda.  It ruled.   
We used to go on trips every 3 months.  It still seems to play out that way, though some vacations consist of visiting family in Wisconsin, North Carolina, or Vegas.  Which is fun, no doubt.  I just crave the tropics.  My most frequented websites are hotwire and carnival.com


Cruises seem to be the most "bang for your buck" and New Orleans is a short drive from Memphis. I just found a 5 day cruise for 200 per person.  All inclusive.  Yeah, I know!  Deal!

Well, I just wanted to get that off of my chest.  Oh, one more quick story.

In the summer of 2008, I was planning a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina as well as a few other stops in America Surr.  The Lord put it in my heart to spend the summer visiting my parents and helping them move in Memphis, TN.  I had never been to Memphis, and didn't really feel the need to change that.  God ended up shutting the door to South America, and long story short, I wound up obeying his call to Memphis.  I had zero friends and cried a lot.  Then, at the very end of the summer, literally one week before I went back to MN for school, I met Jason Wulff-Woesten.  Haaaaallelujah.  Well guess where that stud muffin was born?  Buenos Aires, baby.  And now, almost 4 years later, we're planning a trip to Argentina.  Isn't God such a kind God?  He gave me a million times more than the desires of my heart.  I love Him.  and the man he gave me. 

Sigh.

What a blessed life it is to follow God, even when it seems like the biggest sacrifice ever... and seems that way for months (zero friends/crying all day/110 degrees/NO LAKES)... his ways are higher than our ways and He loves to bless us.  Trust Him, He knows what's best for you, just like a good dad knows what's best for his baby girl. 

Over and out.
