I woke my kids up for scripture study and 3 min. later the phone rings. School has been canceled because of snow. Derek is out of town until late tonight and we are stuck at home again.
I ended up taking Michael in for a shot of antibiotics because he has had an ear infection for about 4 weeks. The roads are snowy but we made it home safe. Dreams of playing in the snow with my kids are shattered when my stomach starts to hurt and I have to lay down. Oh how I wish Derek were home.
I take a nap and Elizabeth takes charge. She cleans the kitchen and keeps everyone happy. I get a notification that Derek's plane is delayed. He sends me a text that he will try to get an earlier flight if they get out of meetings early and will call me once his phone is charged. Oh, how I wish he were home.
We turn on a movie and Derek calls. The plane is delayed an hour and a half. It is nice to hear his voice. He asks if he can order pizza for me and talks about how he wish he could be here with me. I tell him I would like nothing more than to sit on the couch in his arms watching a movie. Suddenly I look through the window and there is the most handsome man in the world with a phone to his ear smiling and waving at me. I will never get that image out of my head. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. What a joy!! He had caught the earlier flight and wanted to surprise me. It was delightful!!
He is now out sledding with the kids being the Superman that he is. This is the kind of man I want my sons to be and the kind of man I want my daughters to marry. I am so grateful for this wonderful man in my life and so thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with him.
