Why Do I Love Dad?

The other night it was just Cars and I in the car from Casper to Gillette. We had a great time. He was told by Chet that it was his job to keep me awake on the way home. When he told me that, I told him that I sure love his dad. I then asked him why he thought I loved dad so much. Without hesitation he says, while sticking his thumb in the air like he was counting:
1- His ability (no kidding, he used that word) to back up a trailer.
2- He has the ability to do lots of different things.
3- He shaves so that you can make out with him (I hate facial hair so he always shaves and tells the boys      it's so their mom will make out with him.)
4- He takes care of you (at which time I asked him what kinds of things he did to take care of me, and he replied:
  For one, he drives when you are scared (Chet hates how I drive canyons, so I drive until we hit a canyon, like Evanston to Heber, and then Chet drives because HE hates my driving, not because I'm scared. Too cute that is his perception!)
  He pays for your gas.
  He changes your blinker

I then asked him, What about the way he does what Heavenly Father asks of him. He shrugs and says, oh yeah, that too, like it was nothing.

I love to hear things from my boys perspective. The reasons he gave, although true, would hit the list at about 40 or less in priority. TO BACK UP A TRAILER! What the heck! Good thing I didn't pick a husband for those kinda qualities. I love Chet more than I could ever express. I know the boys perspective will constantly be changing as to the reasons why. Although they weren't the ones I would hope he would see, I love he KNOWS without any doubt that I do. That I love him to the moon and back!!!
