Crazy About my Fire Hubby

(There he is, my brave Fire Hubby, on top of the engine)

These past 2 weeks have taken a toll on my Fire Hubby. I want to take a moment to encourage him and to share with you some of the reasons I love him...

Here are some of the qualities that make my man special:

• He is a Believer

• He is a devoted husband and father
• His family comes first!

• He is a loyal brother
• Last week his oldest brother passed away and he sat vigil with him to the end, holding Gary's hand as he went to his Maker.

• He is a man of service
• Fire hubby used to be a professional writer. He left his career as a publicist in Hollywood so he could "do something that mattered, something to really help and serve people".

• He is so very intelligent
• He probably is one of only a handful of firefighters who have their Master's degree in English.
• He does not just simply blog, he often writes essays for his posts.
• Check out his blog Switch2PlanB
  

• He is a gifted musician
• Guitar playing is his passion.
• He loves to use this gift to worship the Lord.

• He is CUTE ")

I am so proud of my Fire Hubby!

*Love you, sweetie ;)
