All About My Imperfect Husband

And why I absolutely adore him anyways.

All About My Imperfect Husband
Korin Banks

Truth be told, life is hard. It is never ending with trials, tribulations, and insanity left and right. Some days you can get through without blinking, other days you can't blink hard enough to make it go by quicker. Most of my life I spent just trying to get through it, instead of cherishing it, with good reason.

Now I have this beautiful family and marriage that I love more then anything. I have had what one would consider a bad week, I've got more then half of my immediate family with health problems. Including myself. So It is nine o'clock on a Friday night and I realize I haven't even thought about an article. Not a word of anything. Writing is really important to me but life is overloading so I text my husband. I say "Im screwed. What do I do?" He, only half joking, says "Write about my awesomeness." So I am going to.

My husband isn't like some men, who are super romantic and says all the right things at the right times. Truth be told he isn't like the men who even try to think about it, and say the wrong thing. He is Robert. He does everything he can in his own way. You tell him to go left then right, he will go straight, then take a hard right just to get you to see it can be done a different way.

He is sarcastic, and has a twisted sense of humor. He sees things so differently then the rest of the world. Of course after almost a decade together, I've picked up on some of these things, just like I know I have rubbed off on him, which he will never admit. He has helped me learn how to better balance my life and myself. That's what a husband should do.

Pinky promises are our most sacred thing. He won't leave me to use the bathroom alone during a scary movie. He helped take care of my terminally I'll mother, and even gave a beautiful speech at her funeral. He loves to do the most in appropriate things anywhere and everywhere. He will say he doesn't care all the while figuring out a way to help you anyways. He will mind his business better then anyone I've ever met, but he will tell you the absolute truth about everything without thinking twice, even when you don't want to hear it. To call him my best friend would be an insult. He is so much more then that. He makes everyone a better person for knowing him. I promise you that. If you ever get the chance to know him, don't because I am a crazy over protective wife. But know that is just as awesome as he says he is. I hope everyone on earth finds someone to be for them, what he has been for our family.

Happy six year anniversary, I'm late but you know, lateness is my thing. You are a better husband and father then anyone I know. I appreciate you, I love you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
