There are many, many reasons why I'm proud of my husband. Here are just a few:

• His faith and love for God - In the past several years Joe has really started to show his love for Jesus. It's been quite amazing to watch him grow in Christ and become a strong leader in the household.
• His love and care for his family - Joe has always proven to be a family man. He always puts his family first.
• His patience - I wouldn't call myself super high maintenance, but I have my moments. No matter what he always treats me like a Princess. Also, he did teach me how to ski! I think I only yelled at him once, but all in all he was very patient in teaching me and did a great job! Especially since I can ski black diamonds!
• His support - Joe is always supportive of the decisions I/we make.
• His respect for people - A man's need is respect and Joe definitely shows that to his friends.
• His hard work and commitment - Joe is such a hard worker, whether it is at home or at his job. He never fails to get the job done.
• His handiness - His skills in the home are quite amazing. He can pretty much fix any problem in the house. It's proof that he is Mr. Fix-it when our neighbors say, 'Let's call Joe' for help.
• His love for cooking - Even after a very long day at work, he still will come home and want to cook. Cooking is not my passion, but I'm glad it's something he enjoys.
