Why I love him

Some days, I want to kill my husband just like every other red-blooded air-breathing human woman.
Some days - he blows me away.
Today he came to me and told me to go buy some fiber equipment. I came in under budget and he was trying to get me to spend more.
Me: I have what I need.
Him: But is it good? Is it going to do the job right or is it old, placeholder crap? You need good tools

See, this may seem odd, but dude knows me. I grew up with not much. I am AMAZING at make-do. I make amazing stuff with make do tools/materials all the time. He wants to see what I can do with what I need of good quality. He also knows that I revert to make-do out of habit. I don't even think about it. So, he reminds me to look for better. In this particular instance, I didn't need better. I actually do have what I need and it is great quality. Dude's got my back. As it turned out, and at his encouragement, I went slightly over budget and got the travel loom version of the big-ass loom I just got. :D He has my back AND he spoils me. Yeah.
