A small illustration of Paul's awesomeness

Last Wednesday, Paul and I made separate plans for the afternoon and evening. His plan was to go up to his parents' house to pick up the things he needed for guard duty that weekend, and then get a haircut; my plan was to go to my doctor's appointment and then stop by Walgreens to refill my thyroid medicine.

So I was coming out of the store with my medicine and only to find, to my dismay, that my car wouldn't start. I turned the key and it beeped a little but nothing else happened. On top of that, my cellphone was dead so I couldn't call my parents to come jump the car for me (Paul would have been too far away anyway). Fortunately (I am so thankful that God arranged the timing of everything this way, which is a story in itself), a lady driving through the parking lot saw me pop my hood open and asked if I needed a jump :) So I was able to get home, but because I was so worn out and not thinking very clearly, I didn't drive around long enough to recharge the battery and my car promptly died again as soon as I parked it and turned it off.

But at least I was home! I plugged in my phone, called Paul, and proceeded to unload the whole story of my day upon him, to make sure that he would have jumper cables to start my car up in the morning so I could get to work. And you know what? After his haircut and after driving all the way back from his parents' house, he went to AutoZone, confirmed the death of my battery, bought me a new one, and installed in my car for me! He didn't complain about having to run an errand for me, even though it was pretty late at night and he'd been out all day, and he didn't procrastinate at all about getting my car fixed, because he cared about me so much and wanted to make sure I would be able to get home again from work the next day.

Isn't he wonderful? I am so blessed to have such a caring and servant-hearted husband :)
