Hubby's got a day Off

Happy Birthday to America (belated!).  You know how most of you have the day off for the 4th of July?  I'm not so lucky.  I worked today while Jake had a full day off (for once!).

I was excited for Jake to have a day to himself.  I didn't really mind what he did. The only thing I suggested was that he go to the store for us because we had no lunch items.   So, do you think he went to the store?
No, no he didn't. Which is more than okay; because you want to know what he did?  Even if you don't want to know, I'm going to tell you.  I think you'll be impressed, and maybe a little jealous...

He got up and took care of Vince.
He did a load of laundry.
He worked out and went to a coffee shop to read his Bible.
He played with Vince.
He dropped off his car for service.
He steamed.
And he steamed.
And he steamed....
Until the ENTIRE basket of things that needed ironing/steaming was EMPTY. Yes, empty.  I'm pretty sure this was on our 101 in 1001 (Norman style - meaning we didn't make it to 101).  He probably steamed about 60 items of clothing.  No lie.  I'm pretty sure that my love for Jake multiplied today when I got home and saw what he did.

So maybe you're not so impressed, but I am.  That is one task I have not been able to accomplish in the 2 years that we have been married.  So two thumbs up for the hubby.  Maybe he should be a-stay-at-home-hubby.
