Yes, I Married an Eagle Scout.

I don't take enough time to say good things about my husband.  He really is an incredible man.  He is a man who can do all kinds of things.  I never really thought about it much, but I am SOOOO glad God gave me an Eagle Scout to marry.  I think I would be fairly annoyed if my husband couldn't do some of the things he does.  He can build just about anything, and he always makes it heavy duty!  He can build an awesome snow fort in the freezing snow and wind because he knows the kids will love it.  I think he loves it too.  He shovels snow like no one else.  He makes sure our pathway to the van is always safe and clear.  He could make a fire from sticks if he had to.  He can clean up vomit off the floor and no one would ever know what had been there the next day.  He can change a tire in no time flat.  He changes the oil in the cars, checks the tire pressure, changes the headlights when they are out, puts new windshield wiper blades on and washes the windows at the gas station.  If he needed to get a second job to provide for our family, he wouldn't hesitate.  He reads to our children every night.  He can splice rope like no other (I think that's the term!).  If something is broken, he at least tries to fix it and most of the time he can.  He cut up a turkey today and crock potted it.  He can hunt and dress a deer.  He can even gather berries!  He can plant a tree and make sure it survives.  He has a green thumb in the garden and makes the best grilled cheese and hard boiled eggs.  He could take care of our family if the power was out for an extended amount of time.  I never worry about how our family will be taken care of because my husband is always prepared.  He is MY Eagle Scout and I love him so very much!
