Troy has picked up a new word from sodak: 'crabbing'. my granny said it like this: stop crabbing at him. so now troy has latched onto that word as has brought it up several times. i really try not to be the wife who 'crabs' at her husband, but there are times... i'm grateful to have a husband who can look me in the eye and make fun of me when i start crabbing at him. as far as husbands go, let me tell you - troy is top-notch. i am so incredibly blessed to have a man who's will to chase the vacuum around the house, do laundry, make the bed and coffee, and relieve me of parenting from time to time.
so i'm learning slowing that patience and tolerance are the keys to marriage. but it's also more than that - it's having a patience that is filled with joy and a tolerance that never gives up on anyone.
[Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing. Phil 2.14-16]

Thanks for the inspiration and the reminder...it is so easy to slip into the crabby complainy mode when picking up the dishes around the house seemingly every evening. Also, your Grandmother is the funniest. How is her search for a husband going? I love her prereqs.
