Chad works a 3rd shift job, from 5pm-5am. His schedule is one that's like he works 2 days, is off 2 days, works 3, off 2....and so on. It's a set schedule but it's an every other week the same kind of thing. He LOVES his job, even though it's REALLY hard work. I am super proud of him because he's already moved up into the 2nd position in just 4 months! And once a lead position opens up, it's his! That's a promotion and a $3 raise! He's awesome!
He's a wonderful husband too!! He loves me even when I can't shower for a day, when I'm cranky from being couped up in the house, when I'm snapping for no reason, and just all the time! I haven't been able to lose my "baby weight" from the girls. Now, I haven't really been trying but it's because I need to go to the stupid doctor first to get my asthma meds. But Chad said, even though we don't have the money to go to the doc for me, that we'll find it so I can work out again. (isn't he great?) He also said he doesn't think I need to lose weight, that I look beautiful no matter what. But he understands if I want to for me. He said he doesn't care what I look like, that I'll always be beautiful. AWW! He was being a butt 2 days ago when he woke up for work. We got into a fight and I wasn't going to talk to him for the rest of the night when he called. He apologized and told me to make a list for the store. So I did. And when I woke up at 630am, he had made eggs, pancakes, sausage, and Cinnamon rolls!! I asked him why? He said because he had been an ass the day before and he wanted to be nice that morning haha! Man, I sure found a keeper huh?
And if that wasn't enough for you to make you believe so, he is the most amazing father I could ever ask for my children!!! Ok, a little back story. Annabelle (my oldest) is not Chads daughter. Her father is a POS. He was abusive towards me when we were together, does not pay his support, and never takes Annabelle. He has not seen her in 2 1/2 years. And before those whole 3 times he saw her, it had been 2 years since he saw her. So all in all, he hasn't seen her in about 4 1/2 years. And before that, it was sporadically. For instance, he has never even been to a birthday of hers, never bought her a birthday present, never called on her birthday, only bought her a Christmas present once and after I told her what size shoes she wore, he bought them too small anyways, and so on and so on! So, after Chad and I got together, she asked me if she could call him dad. (Chad and I had been together about 4 years before that but it hadn't worked out). I told her it was ok with me, but she had to ask him first. She did and he said it was fine with him! And ever since then, he's been her dad! We're planning on having him adopt her when we ever get the money. I'd love to do it now but financially, it's just not an option! She keeps asking me when she can have our last name...aww! I can't wait for her to be an Applegate too! Ok, so he's a wonderful dad! To both my girls! He's great with Annabelle and SO great with Peyton. When he's home, she's defiantly a "daddy's girl." He plays with her and loves her SO much!! She has him wrapped around her tiny finger for sure!!
Ok, so I think this is long enough haha!! I think I'll leave you with some pictures of my babies! Have a wonderful day!
