Manliness

My husband is such a peach. Except he's manly. Is there anything more wonderful than true manliness? In my eyes, few things, if any, are more attractive. What do I mean by manliness, you might ask? I mean doing tough things without being wimpy or complaining - just understanding that it's part of being a real man. Examples:

• Pumping the gas in negative temperatures while your wife sits inside the car.
• Finding the stinky diaper in nursery.
• Agreeing to have guests rather than watch the big game while quietly taping it for future reference - never informing your wife of the great sacrifice you made.
• Listening to your wife tell her story even when you're not done reading the article.
• Shoveling snow without being asked so you can drive to church later. (See below.)

The list could go on, but you would probably stop reading this poorly-masked ode to my Tyler. Yes, he does all these things (and more). He's so manly. I love it.
