Yes, this has been about how my days are ending lately. After having two amazing birthday blowouts for the girls, gearing up for soccer season again, taking the best spring break trip yet to Destin, taking on another soccer team, fighting the flu (that ruined our Easter trip to Jackson), and you know that other thing called work...this is about how the days leave me.
I would like to say all of this overwhelms me at times, but it is really the only way I know how to operate through life. Bill and I live off of chaos and I will toot our own horn, we do it quite nicely!
Truth of the matter is, our family would crumble at the heels without this amazing man...
Bill gets up, showers, makes Darby's bottles, gets ready, wakes Darby up, gets her ready, wakes Ryan up, gets her ready, does her hair, picks both of the girls up in his arms and brings them downstairs on the "Daddy train", grabs some breakfast, takes them to school, and does it all with the biggest smile and more entertainment quality than I could ever have!

When I say this man is the glue to our family, it is an understatement. He is the ying to my yang, the calm to my storm, and the sanity to my life. I love thinking back to the beginning of our relationship and how we started dating. Really, it shouldn't have happened, we shouldn't have both been at Auburn, but it did and I cannot thank God enough for putting Bill in my life.
Every single milestone we come to, I usually waiver. Of course, there is some uncertainty, even panic at time. Now Bill, he is solid as a rock. Does he have some sort of anxiety, I'm sure. However, he knows I can melt at dropping a pacifier in the grass when Darby is throwing a fit, so he knows how to hold it together.
I remember when I found out I was pregnant with Darby. Let's just say it was a pleasant surprise... I was FREAKING out. I was at a 10 day coaching clinic and got sick one morning and thought, "Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant!" I did not stop crying, until I talked to Bill. As soon as I heard his voice saying, "Jenny, it is fine. You are a fabulous mother to Ryan, now another baby gets you...everything will be fine!" I mean come on, that is the mentality of a saint!

As if his day to day of running our family is not enough, he has done it again. For my birthday he hired a cleaning service to do a "Deep Clean" of our house. Best present he could give me! I, like I'm sure every other mother out there, hate coming home and having to clean when all I want to do is play with Ryan and Darbs. The time we get with them during the work week is limited and cleaning is not something I want to waste time on- sadly, my house had paid the price for this!
Bill, thank you for being the coolest, sexiest, most caring, loving, devoted, amazing, energetic, entertaining, optimistic, funny, good looking, intelligent, hot, and committed dad and husband in the world. The Ferguson Four would crumble to the ground without you and I cannot wait to wake up next to you every morning.
