My Wonderful Husband

I'm not going to mince words here, or sugarcoat it...

My husband has put up with a lot of crap from me in recent weeks,

and I just wanted to publicly thank him for sticking by me and

loving me through it all.
I can be a bear to live with at times, especially lately.

I'm re-posting this from over a year ago, please meet my 

amazing, long-suffering, altogether wonderful better half!

Meet my Handsome Husband...

I felt a bit guilty that I had no photos of my own 

from Warrenton which featured HH, 

but Theresa Cano of Garden Antqs Vintage came to the rescue! 

She was gracious enough to snap this pic 

of HH and myself in her beautiful space, 

and doubly gracious to allow me to use it here on my blog.

Now let me preface this bio on HH with this disclaimer: 

He is not really in any way shape or form into the whole 

antique-vintage-flea markety-junking-Warrenton thing.

Not a bit.

But boy oh boy, is he ever the go-to guy 

when you need someone to either push your 

Wonder Wheeler all stinkin' day long, cart heavy furniture to and fro, 

repair a wonky drawer so's I can sell it in my booth,  

listen patiently while I prattle on endlessly about all my bloggy friends....you get the picture.

Heck, he was an avowed lifelong cat hater 

who has grudgingly come around 

to loving my girl, Winnie (although he'd be loathe to admit it *grin*).

So yeah, in many, many significant ways, 

he truly is the man behind Fiona and Twig.

But he is an astonishingly accomplished gent in his own right.

He was a world ranked swimmer in college, 

and made it to the Olympic trials twice. 

At one point, he was ranked 10th in the world!

{swimming a triathlon a few years back}

He is an accomplished thespian, having performed community theatre for years 

(and with the awards to prove it).

He has tirelessly taught High School Chemistry and Physics for many years, 

as well as coached swimming. In fact, 2 years ago 

he was named Coach of the Year for his region.

But his greatest achievement? 

It might just be putting up with me.

{grin}

Love ya, HH!
