What is Smileen's Smorgasbord??

What is Smileen's Smorgasbord??
It is a collection of thoughts from
a mom of two preschoolers,
a wife to a wonderful, hardworking husband,
someone who enjoys food and cooking,
a lady who seeks to know all I can about environmental allergies and cooks for a son and husband with food allergies,
a want to be artist who dabbles in photography,
and a follower of Christ who is amused by life and tries to find joy in as many situations as possible.

My Bret

So it only seems fair that if my first 2 posts were about the kids I should write a little something about Bret.  I can't go into too much detail, because I don't want him to be the laughing stock of his friends.  So I guess what I can say is how thankful I am for him.  I had no idea when I met him over 7 years ago of all the ways that we would be such a great match.  You kinda take your chances when you get married really.  I knew a lot of good things about him, but there is no way you can know everything.  I just trusted who he was and who he would become based on the guy I did know and it has turned out to be nothing short of amazing.  He works really hard to provide for us, and he does a darn good job of it.  I am proud of who he is at work.  He is passionate about it, so I get to hear a lot about it, and it makes me smile (and laugh sometimes).  He also loves me more than I probably deserve.  He is the one person that loves me the most when I am at my best and handles me the best when I am at my worst and that means a lot.  He is a loving father.  He would do anything in the world for Cody and Emilee and they are always on his mind and in his heart.  You can tell how he carefully makes every decision with consideration for how it will impact those two little lives.  They are very fortunate.  I have a pretty darn good Dad myself, so I know how good they have it.  He is also a caring, Godly man of integrity.  What more could a girl ask for?  He is not perfect, but he does seek to please the Lord and love me and the kids in everything he does, so even when he drives me crazy, I get  past it pretty quickly, because it is hard to be mad for long with a guy like Bret.
