So I've been thinking about posting something for a while now. I told Sherrie that it is for girls, and it usually is. I don't see many of my married friends posting, but oh well. I just can't understand how I ended up with her. She's beautiful, always smiling, waits on me hand and foot, always goes shopping to get ME stuff, cooks, cleans, sings, and NEVER complains. I don't know if she doesn't complain because I told her when we were dating that I wouldn't put up with it, but I'm stuck with her now, and she still won't complain. She's practically 9 months pregnant, can't sleep, upset stomach all the time, back hurts, pinched nerve in the shoulder, belly hurts, feet hurt, I could go on, and yet she still asks me everyday what I want her to cook for dinner. The number of massages she gives me in a week compared to the number I give her is about 17 to 1. That's not a misprint, and she's 9 months prego!! I don't have to deal with the stress, pregnant body pains, work, cooking, cleaning, making sure the baby's room is ready, having a cervix that won't dilate, pregnancy weight, or anything else. All I do is stare into a microscope all day. And she still treats me like a king and thinks I need the attention. Why me? I was a jerk to most girls I dated, make sexist comments all the time (some heartfelt, some sarcastic) yet I still ended up with a wife with zero flaws. She's practically perfect in every way! I've asked myself why many many times. I came up with 3 possible answers.
#1- She did something horrible before she came to earth and is making up for it.
#2- I was horrible before I came to earth and the Lord knew that the only way I would ever have a snowball's chance in hell of making it through this life would be with the perfect wife.
#3- (This answer is doctrinally sound, but anyone who knows me knows it is a long shot at best) Maybe I was a good guy before I came to earth and somehow pre-qualified for the perfect wife.
I'm going with #2 but why does she have to put up with me? Where is her agency? Or maybe the Lord slipped her a big wad of pre-earth cash if she'd take me. Either way, I don't deserve her. She never mopes or complains, and is never ever moody. I don't know how some guys put up with their wives, but I still think I could tolerate a little moodiness. Heck I made it through living with my 3 sisters didn't I? (stay tuned for all 3 rebuttles to that comment)
Anyway, this is for Sherrie. I could have searched the world over 2 or 3 more times, and still made the same decision. And to top that off, she'll be an even better mother. How did I get so lucky?

Ok Justin how nice are you? I've never heard you say so many nice things at once!! Sounds like you got a winner, and she did too....I guess. :) I would say you could up the amount of massages you give your poor pregnant wife though...just a suggestion! Can't wait to see pictures of your little one.
Justin, That was really sweet. I almost got a bit choked up...almost. I am really glad that you ended up with Sherrie too. She is a pretty cool cat! You're a darn good egg yourself though, that's why she picked you. She's a smart girl.
Aww, you are so sweet! I think she thinks you're pretty great too. That's why she wants to do all those things for you. You guys are such a great pair!
This is Tyler:
So Camille just had me read the post you wrote....Thanks for setting the BAR!!! What were you thinking?! Yes it was nice of you to write those things about my sis and she is a good person, but COME ON!!! You are making the rest of us look bad or at least made us feel a little guilty inside.
Next time buy a card and sign your name inside like the rest of us!! (at least that's what I hear we should do)
I've kind of been wondering when she was going to catch on myself. I initially gave her 2 months. The Vegas over/under was actually 2 weeks so I was being really generous. These probably are thoughts that you should keep to yourself though, I'll bet she could still have the sealing anulled with a simple plea of insanity. No one would blame her.
Aw Justin - that was so sweet! Sherrie is awesome and I'm glad you were smart enough to caprure her. I think you two make a darn good couple. It doesn't surprise me that you have a sweet side. You're kinda like your dad, you try to be so tough, but you're really a marshmellow inside. Love ya both!
That is so great! I need to take some lessons from Sherrie... i am the moody wife! How sad to admit but this makes me want to be better! You guys are perfect together!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Justin, you "made it through" your three sisters. Apparently you were tough enough. (Wait... you were the one roping us and wrestling us and hogtieing us. I ran away once because of you and Jason.) And yes, I'm betting on option #2 as well. You had better hang onto Sherrie with all you've got.
Aww! That was so sweet! Sherrie you must be doing good if you are 9 months pregnant and not complaining that is quite the accomplishment! What a sweet husband you have! I hope that things are going well. I keep thinking about you and wondering how things are going. I can't wait to see that little guy of yours in a couple weeks!
What a sweet guy! I agree with your mom. You just try to act tough but we all know you are a teddy bear just like your dad. I am not very nice when I'm prego. Especially now that we are on our fourth! I feel for Mike! Sherrie must be a really tough one!
We all hope that all is going well with you guys. Can't wait to see the baby!
That was way nice Justin! Who knew you could be so sweet. Ok that's a lie you are a pretty awesome brother, I have to admit. And the only reason I am not commenting on the sister's comment is because I am an awesome sister. But if you want me to share my Hamilton's gift card with you then the attitude has got to change!
Ah, Justin! We knew under that poaching, roping, tuff ole skin there was a heart of gold! Thank your Mom and Dad every day for who and what you are! And of course, there was Daniel's influence! HA!
