Some of you might have guessed that Matt is a bit of a geek. (Just a hint of geekry, really.) But he is also a sweet guy. Combine these two features and what do you get?

Simple documentation with graphics on how to turn on our hot tub. If that doesn’t say love, I don’t know what does. (No, seriously. What?)

Last week, I left work early because of back pain. I do not know what I did or how I did it, but my back hurt any time I sat, stood, laid down, walked or even thought about these options. (I believe it was a pinched nerve, but whatever – it’s getting better.)

So my sweetie pie (that would be Matt) emailed me some quick, easy-to-understand instructions for operating the hot tub. With illustrations of the pool’s working parts from memory! Wow! (We’ve lived here nearly a year now and I still don’t understand all those pool bits and pieces. That’s his territory. Just make it pretty and refreshing, and I’m there!)

To cap it all, he’s been turning on the hot tub for me almost every night since. Gosh, he’s swell!

* I love this phrase since I first saw it on a t-shirt. Now it's everywhere!
