I love my Husband

So, Tuesday night we were out on a date and we stopped by the mall. We walked into Macy's, and I laid eyes on a beautiful, classic black dress. We were not even shopping for a dress, but I am going to need one for my sister-in-law's wedding so I thought I'd take a look. The price tag read $28 and it was even on the %25 off rack! We take it back to the dressing room and I try it on. You'll have to understand that it's a rare occasion for me to find a dress, try it on and for it to actually fit well... This one did. Jason and I both really liked it, which says a lot.

We go to check out and I ask her to check the price for me, I wanted to know how cheap it was going to be!! So she rings it up and says it's One Hundred and Twenty-Eight dollars. Argh! Part of the price tag was covered up, so I didn't see the ONE. I couldn't help but laugh at the irony... Needless to say we left the dress there. I'm pretty sure I talked about it the rest of the night... Mainly that i just couldn't believe I'd tried it on and of course I would pick the most expensive dress there and no wonder if fit so well, it's One Hundred and Twenty-Eight dollars!!!

This morning I woke up after Jason had left for work, and at the foot of the bed was a box, wrapped in white tissue paper. I sit up wondering what it could be and thinking my man is so sweet to buy something for me. So I open it and it's the DRESS!!! He and Virginia went back to the mall last night while I was at my ladies' meeting and he bought it for me.

For us, that is A LOT of money to spend on something like a dress. I'm pretty sure, other than maybe one bride's maid dress and my wedding dress of course, that it is the most expensive piece of clothing I own. But even considering all of that... it's not the dress that melt's my heart. It is that my amazing husband would sacrifice his hard earned money to show me, in a practical way, that he loves me more than himself and wants to bless me in such a way as this.

I just wanted to share that all with you as well as honor him for the loving, caring, generous man that he is.

I love you babe! Thank you for loving me and for asking me to marry you. Thank you for working your regular job and side jobs to provide for us. You are my best friend and I love you more than words could say.
