Big Toe

I love being married!  My sister has often referred to me as a "happy little married person". =)  Shorty & I got married 2 weeks after I graduated from high school.  We've had bumps, but for the most part, we have enjoyed a happy marriage.  I love sharing my life with Shorty!  When something happens around the house or with the Crew, he is the first one I want to tell.  And he feels the same way-- as evidenced by the number of texts he sends me on any given day! =)  I can't imagine a greater gift this side of glory!

So, what does this have to do with a big toe?  Well, when Shorty whistles at me, I often reply with, "What are you whistling at?"  He gave various answers for a while, but one day he was feeling particularly silly and answered, "My big toe."  I laughed and responded that the big toe gives you balance, so I could be his big toe.  I just had to check my facts on that before I actually posted it though, so I googled the purpose of the big toe.  It was really cool!  Not only is the big toe essential for balance, it carries 40% of the weight on your foot and it supports your arches!  Now I feel really special because I get the distinct privilege of being my Shorty's "big toe"! =)

Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
