Windows... to my soul!

Husband appreciation blog!

So I love to leave our windows open and get fresh air, but our neighbors smoke and I smell it every time they do. Anyway last night was a nice night, so I decided to leave the windows open and have a fan on. Woke up at about 2 or 2:30 am because the smell of smoke woke me up. Those bastards! I couldn't go back to sleep until about 4:30am or so.

Then bleary eyed, irritable and half awake this morning, I asked my husband if we could get new windows. Our condo's windows are older, I think the seals are worn, and I can smell the neighbor's smoke even with all the windows closed. Our inspector and realtor said they should probably get replaced, so I was really irritable about it this morning.

This afternoon he tells me he called our HOA guy and did research about getting new windows. Also he found out about a light bulb that neutralizes smoke smells. He did some research about resolving this standing issue that's been bugging me forever.

Also, he drove me this morning because with lack of sleep, probably not a good idea for me to drive. He was uber considerate and he listened to me this morning :)

Anyway, I think we'll have to sleep with the windows closed from now on. Also, unfortunately, I think we'll have to leave them closed most of the time :( It's the 2nd time I've been woken up in the middle of the night from the smoke smell, and I was unable to go back to sleep. I smell the smoke a few times every day and that gets annoying. Also maybe get more plants to get "fresh" air in the house. Getting new windows and seals might be good too for keeping the smell out.

Anyway Thank You Husband for listening this morning :) I hope we get those new windows soon.

The Magic Man

My husband the magician! Husband appreciation blog!

Husband is so wonderful. Today he bought and put on new hubcaps on my car. There were 2 front ones missing, so he got a whole new set and put it on!

He also made a delicious surf and turf dinner, with tri-tip and salmon, along with white cheddar mac and cheese, as well as carrots. The food was an 11 out of 10! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the tri-tip was so yum. This was all his idea too. We ate out on the balcony and had a really nice romantic time. All this while I'm procrastinating/doing homework.

Such a fabulous guy! My magic man!

Thank you husband!

Filler Up - Love Tank

I'm going to start blogging about all the wonderful things the husband does. It's a husband appreciation blog, but also a bit of a love letter and diary. I'd like to remember & keep track of all the great things he does, as a reminder of what a great partner he is in my life. Little things, big things, etc. Its going to sound like bragging, but really its not. Im trying to be more conscientious and appreciative. I might also start blogging about some of the quirky and ridiculous stuff too, but we'll see what he puts up with.

Yesterday we drove all over town in my car. Today without me asking or knowing, he took my car to the gas station, using my preferred gas station, to get a filler up, because he knew I'm not the best at keeping track of my tank & I'd have to use it tomorrow. I tend to run late but also I don't pay attention to the tank. He's just thoughtful and thinks ahead.

Also, another reason for this blog, if you've ever read "The 5 Love Languages" book, I want to keep our marriage love tank full. I recommend the book for all couples. It's a pretty short & easy read, with a good message.

Thank you husband! For being thoughtful & considerate!
