Happy Father's Day






Since yesterday was Father's Day I wanted to write a little bit about why I think Rob is so great and the things I admire about him.
-His intelligence. He is such a great provider for our family and I'm so grateful to have a husband who values academics like I do. He also has the most amazing memory with numbers. He can remember numbers from a long time ago and it just baffles me.
-That he thinks he could wrestle anyone and win :) He's got me fooled and it makes me feel pretty safe.
-His testimony of the gospel. I have learned so much from him. He can recall so many scriptures and really tries to apply them to his life. He is firm in his belief and will bend for no one.
-He is a truth seeker. It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks he just wants to know if it is right or wrong.
-He's close to the spirit. He always says, "wise as a serpent, and harmless as a dove". On many occasions he has realized way before I have that someone was trying to deceive us.
-His humility. Rob doesn't have the usual humble guy attitude, he definitely believes in himself. But if he realizes he needs to change something he takes every effort to change. When I tell him something I wish he would change he is so humble in his answer and says sorry, then asks for examples of how he did it wrong, and then truly does try to change. I am always defensive when someone tells me I have done something wrong. I love this about him and I feel like he grows closer to being a perfect person much faster than I do.
-His confidence.
-He is a hard worker. The hardest worker I have ever known. In wrestling he learned that your mind gives up way before your body. You have to take control of your mind. He always pushes himself so hard until he has accomplished what he wants.
-He is optimistic, always wanting everyone to focus on the positive and never on the negative. -His friendliness. Rob loves to make others happy. He wants everyone to feel loved.
-He loves his kids and makes his family a top priority.

I told Rob the other day that if a person wants life to be relaxing than they should marry someone just like them but if they want to learn a lot then they should marry someone opposite of them. I chose the latter and have learned so much. It is never a boring day. I love you Rob, thanks for your example!
