Reason number 999 I love my husband

Today was a very long day.
You see prior to today I had yet to find a dress for my meeting this week..
My husband, the trooper that he is, woke up this morning and told me we were going to go find a dress.
We went to a bunch of stores by the house and found nothing...
so we drove down to where I work and looked there...
With a detour to Cabella's he was happy doing this for me...
He helped me pick out jewelry at one place, even though I didn't have a dress yet that I was sure I was going to wear...and then..
There was one store that we didn't check out and I was defeated because I couldn't find anything that I liked.
He said, we are here we may as well go to David's Bridal.
I admit, I was a bit of a brat and pretty bummed that I couldn't find anything and I said I didn't want to go.
He was adamant.
He did what no other man in his right mind would do..
He went into David's Bridal the week after the major bridal show in town, BY HIMSELF to find me a dress.
He picked out three and called me to come into the store.
Now I will admit that I didn't want to.
I went in and the amount of people in the store made me want to go running out.
He insisted that I try on these dresses.
Low and behold...he found the perfect dress.
Not too expensive and it fit very well.
It is not one that I would have picked out for myself...
I would have gone running from the store without a moment's hesitation
But he insisted that I try them on
He did disappear when I went into the dressing room
But a quick text message that I needed him and he came back...
I had picked out a couple more dresses and he watched me try them on...
This is the one that he picked

Excuse the picture and the black socks

Then, he said this would look great with gloves and we were off again...

We went to two different stores to find gloves...one a store that I don't think either one of us had ever been into before..one of those teeny bopper stores and the party store..

He then drove home and went to the mall up here for the second time today so that I could go into Claire's to see if they had gloves.

There was a slight detour because CJ Banks was having a sale where I scored an amazing jacket for $6.99 

 

He came into Claire's, helped me pick out a necklace and gloves.

When we got home he insisted that I try everything on together so that he could see the whole look together and determine whether or not I was going to need anything else.

We did decide that I should make a fake fur stole to go with it...since it is winter in New England and it is supposed to be cold next week.

He is amazing....

I know that he is amazing..but today reminded me of the lengths that he is willing to go to make sure that I am happy...it may seem like a silly thing to be stressed about the right dress to wear, but this meeting is kind of a big deal and I was really bummed that the initial dress that I ordered online wasn't at all what I wanted...like it or not, you have to be able to walk the walk when you are presented with the opportunity to have face time with the higher ups in the corporate world and I know that I can rock this dress.

He is my rock...

he is my love 

He totally gets me and shows in ways that sometimes I am not sure I am worthy of...

His response tonight when I thanked him was that he was happy that I was happy and that we got to spend the whole day together just having fun...blowing off all the "adult" things that needed to get done...

I hope that this finds you all enjoying your weekend....sending out love and lots of hugs to you all!
