An AMAZING Man!

So how hard is it to wake up at 4:30 every morning and go drive bus? I figured it probably wasn't very fun, but I told myself that since this week was Rod's last week of going early EVERY morning of the week, I was going to try and get up and ride with him at least once. I didn't tell him, I just wanted to show up and surprise him.

Well, on Monday I didn't even wake up to his alarm... Tuesday I heard him wake up, was waiting for him to leave so I could hurry and get up, and yep, you guessed it, I fell asleep waiting!! Well I thought I still had Wednesday and Friday since he would be on the ambassador retreat on Thursday.

Wedensday however, he surprised me and didn't have to go to work that morning. So now I was down to today, my last day to try and stay awake enough to go with him. Luckily I woke up just as he was leaving the house so I hurried and got ready and went to the Transit Center. He was pretty surprised to see me and I was SO glad that I got up and went! I was the only passenger for most of the way (he has an hour long route) and it was fun to talk to him and start our morning together which never usually happens.

I am so grateful to Rod for waking up every morning without one day missed to help us earn a living. It is something I could never do and yet I've never once heard him complain about it. He is such a hard worker and all I can say is that I'm so glad that I waited for this amazing man to come back home and marry me!! Thanks for all you do Rod, I love you so much!!
