Matthew

I married up. Not in status. Not in wealth. I married the kind of guy I hope my girls marry. A man of character. He is steady, even, cool headed, smart, and adores me in all of my quirks (and bad habits, character flaws, imperfections, and those parts of me that are far from charming). He on the other hand married a real lemon and I am striving to be the kind of wife I would be happy with my own son having. I run the car into things (or other drivers). A lot. I can be impatient. I spend too much at Target. I am impatient (did I mention that?). I am forgetful. But in all of my faults, being married to him has not only made me a better person, but it makes me want to keep working on it. 

 
tons, still Matthew. TONS.
in case your husband's name isn't Matthew and you need a reminder...
