Thanks to a supportive husband

I have had my site up for a whole 3 weeks now, and it is very exciting to see something that has been on my heart actually happen. So many thoughts and ideas run through my head that result in much of nothing, but not this. This idea, this desire, has really happened. And I would like to say that it would not have happened without my husband getting excited with me.

Ben is a web-site designer and owns his own business, epocdesigns. He has only recently taken this on full time, and works from home. You can imagine that since I stay home with our 2 young daughters we are still adjusting to the change. He has always supported me in doing whatever I have wanted to do. When we got married I wanted to stay at home full time with our daughter. Even though it was VERY tight on us, and required so much more from him, he never complained about it, but supported me. And in the times that I would say “maybe I just need to go get a job”, he would not hear of it. He would always find away so I could do what I love, Be a full time mom and wife. He began doing web design on the side to supplement our income from his “real” job. It was such a divine thing. He has never really advertised, his leads have primarily been word of mouth. And in only 3 years he has made web design his only job.
For sometime now I have had a desire to help moms. I knew what was in my heart but what do I do with it? Ben decided we should start with a website, so he built my site for me. He has taught me how to navigate my way around a blog, which takes a certain amount of patience. He comes to me at least once a day with a new idea for my site, something he found that could help improve it, and it is HE who has launched me into this great big “blog community”. He also discovered emoms@home, a blog community for moms to help support each others sites. And through these sites I have found great thoughts, laughs, and women, I otherwise would not have known.

I think what I appreciate the most is that he loves to get excited for me, and in the moments that I have asked “why should I be doing this?” He always has the right words. He believes in me and supports anything I decide I want to do. He finds away to put himself in it with me, and makes it his dream too.

So this post is unrelated to mother’s. Instead it is a Thank you to my supportive husband, Ben. Who uses his talents to help me with mine, and graciously gives up the computer (almost) everytime.

Thank You!
