The Best Husband! ♥

Travis♥ is an amazing husband!  He puts up with ME! haha.

We've been married 19 years, and I couldn't pick a better husband.  He loves me, and he loves our kids.
He takes the kids places so I can stay home and do whatever it is I'm needing/wanting to do at the time.
Sometimes I just need quiet!  =)
The kids are old enough now that we'll leave them home while Travis and I go on a date. The kids love us to go on dates! ♥
The girls (and sometimes JohnDavid helps) will make their own supper, and they don't mind us going out.  =)



He takes time with the kids, and they love to be with him. 
Both my teenage girls "fight" and race to sit next to him on the couch, and sometimes he'll move to the middle so they both can.  It's typical if we're out somewhere, that both girls are hanging onto an arm as we walk.  I've made several pictures of this, but can find only one right now.
He takes them to all the revivals where they sing, and videos them every time.



He wrestles w/ JohnDavid, and does outdoorsy things with him.  He takes him to stores that have hunting stuff, knives, survival-type things, and went thru the hunter-safety course w/ him, even though he already had done it himself.  He doesn't care a lot about hunting himself, but has taken JohnDavid.  He videoed JohnDavid shooting his first deer!  =)


He videos the kids a lot.  Every piano recital, every time the girls sing somewhere, every karate tournament JohnDavid was in, lots of home movies.  We love to sit and laugh at old home movies from when the kids were little.  So fun!  =)


He talks to the kids a lot.  About everyday stuff, as well as about life.  Things they need to be considering as they grow up.

And he listens.
They love talking to him!  We have church at home, and it can get quite long because when we're done, it sometimes ends up with all of us just talking.  =)

He will cut up watermelon, or pour me lemonade, etc., without me knowing, and bring it over to me in the living room.
He does little things all day to let us know he cares.

He is a hard worker, and isn't lazy at all.  He will be somewhere and see something that needs to be done, so he does it.  He does the same at home.
He's unselfish, caring, thoughtful, my best friend.

I often see him studying his Bible.  He looks thru his tapes to put on good music to listen to, and sometimes will just put in a DVD of preaching to watch.  He really wants to serve God, and it shows in his everyday life. =)

I've got the best one!

  1. And his children and wife ariseth up and calleth him blessed... LOL

    Seriously, I agree with you Marty and want to add that Travis is also such a wonderful son-in-law that I sometimes almost forget he isn't my own son!

    I couldn't have picked a better husband for you nor a better father for my grandchildren.

    I love you all very much!
