This post is an appreciation post for Mr. HutchLife.
He is so supportive of me and any ideas that I have. He doesn’t ever say no, he just asks how I’m going to do it and how he can help. When I wanted to start this blog, he was all for it and came up with the site name, color, format and layout. He gives input on all the posts and encourages to me to continue write what I feel is important and relevant. Mr. HutchLife told me I didn’t need to work when I stopped working almost 2 years ago now. He wanted me to have a stress free pregnancy and knew we would be more than ok. We learned to live on 1 income 10 months into marriage and have been living on 1 income for 7 years now. It’s a lifestyle for us.
When we were told we couldn’t have children he told me I was enough. Those 3 words pierced me deeper than he’ll ever know and gave me peace as we planned life without kids. When we found out we were pregnant with BabyHutchLife his excitement filled my heart with joy. We laughed at first when we saw the 3 pregnancy tests that I took but then settled into the fact that we would be parents. We prayed and thanked God for choosing us to be parents and loaning BabyHutchLife to us. We also realized that BabyHutchLife was coming a year after we became debt free and would be changing not only our legacy but hers as well.
When Mr. HutchLife saw an opportunity for our family that would accelerate our timeline to Financial Independence he shared his vision and we worked together. He went to the NBMBAA Conference, knocked it out of the park and 2 months later we knew we’d be leaving Michigan. His desire to continue to grow personally and professionally inspires me to be the best me that I can be. He has taken this new job and given it his all. It’s the opportunity he wrote down months before God opened the door. Write the vision, make it plain. He’s stepping into his purpose. I’m along this journey watching him shine. We are currently in Atlanta for his first rotation and I know we won’t be here forever and we are ok with it. He has goals for this year that will continue to advance his career trajectory and I am all for it.
With all of his work goals being accomplished he is also an AMAZING husband and father. When he sees I’m tired, he cleans, he cooks, he asks me what he can do to make things easier for me. His love for BabyHutchLife melts me. He has daddy/daughter day with her every Sunday and every evening is daddy/daughter time where he gives her a bath, they read books and he plays his guitar for her before family worship. Their relationship is so heartwarming and shows me how good God is.
Mr. HutchLife is intentional with his time for family and is present when he comes home. He makes sure I have mommy time every week for self-care and has me sleep in on the weekends so that I can get extra rest and he wakes up with BabyHutchLife. Thank you Mr. HutchLife for being you. BabyHutchLife, LittleBit and I are so blessed to have him as the head of our household. We are more than confident in his ability to lead our home because his Head is Christ. His spiritual goals, financial goals, spiritual goals and personal goals are all tied to our family becoming the vision we have discussed since our first Marriage Vision Retreat 4 years ago. Write the vision, make it plain. God has been moving and it is beautiful to see our vision being fulfulled.
What are you appreciative of with your significant other? How do you let them know?
