My first day of class was supposed to be today (more on that in a minute) and I have not been looking forward to heading back to class. Spring semesters are always more difficult for me to stay motivated, and this semester already seems to be no exception. However, when I woke up this morning, I found this sitting in the kitchen:
My wife assembled for me a veritable cornucopia of goodies for my first day of class. In the Kroger Sweet Shoppe bag is a bunch of Atomic Fireballs (one of my all time favorites) and in the envelope was a great card about her cold feet. It was a wonderful gesture by her on a day when she worked and was very tired. As I moved into the living room, I noticed that she had already set up the TV tray for my breakfast of waffles that she bought me yesterday. This day was getting better and better!
Then the view outside made me thankful for her once again:
That's right- 4 inches in Louisville=total shutdown of the city. In other words, no class for me today! But why does the snow make me more thankful for my wonderful wife? Well, she picked up an extra shift last night so that we can stay ahead with our finances as I finish school. Because of the snow, she had to stay at work this morning an extra hour, then it took her about four times as long to get home because of the condition of the roads. She is such a blessing to me, and I am amazed at her selflessness and sacrificial love. I have the best wife in the world, so I figured I would let you all know it! Enjoy your snow day.

Awwww - such a good wife deserves such a good husband. Of course, anything good you say about Kay will come as no surprise to me.
