My husband is Superman

By on August 20, 2010

Well, Josh actually prefers Spiderman-that’s his favorite super hero. But the other day, my hubby was Superman for a little girl in Ann Taylor Loft.

There we were – shopping for my birthday. I had been to Charming Charlies and didn’t find any clothes I liked! I was so sad since I had a gift card – I really wanted to buy something!! So we walked into Ann Taylor Loft. (And yes, my husband is awesome for taking me shopping in the first place and standing there while I take FOREVER looking at this, picking out that, deciding which color I like…fun stuff for him, I’m sure…)

Anyway, I’m looking at a rack, deciding if I want to try on something and when I turn around to talk to Josh, he is walking over to a little girl who is in her mother’s arms – just CRYING her little eyes out. Her mother was saying to her, “Well, it’s your fault-you let it go!” That’s when I saw there was a balloon on the ceiling, just out of the mom’s reach – a balloon that my tall husband was reaching for and then handed back to the little girl. My heart melted. I turned away, so no one would see my huge smile. I heard the little girl say in her shaking, crying, adorable little voice, “Thank you.”

I love my husband – and I am so proud of the man he is. He’s my Superman!

Score!

By on July 21, 2010

I’ve been drooling over this rug from Target.com for 4 months. I haven’t bought it cuz it was waaay too expensive. Well on Monday I finally decided I wanted it bad enough. So I went to buy it and they were SOLD OUT!!!!! 🙁

I was so sad. *Sniff*

But I didn’t give up hope, I kept looking annnnnd SCORE! I found that rug somewhere else! AND you could order it through Amazon.com! My hubby said he’d order it for me so he could get Amazon points.

Well not only did my sweet hubby order that rug for me, he got me some discount and the rug was $100 cheaper!!! Woo hoo!

I love him. 🙂 And I hope I love the rug – I’ve only seen it online. When it’s delivered, I’ll take some pics.

And on another note:

WE TOOK THE PLUNGE!

Yes, we finally scheduled (well, paid for) our IKEA Home Kitchen Design Service. (They are supposed to call me this afternoon to schedule, but they already took my credit card payment over the phone…I hate giving my credit card number over the phone…)

So now we’ve put $249 non-refundable dollars down. We’ve got to do it now. 🙂

I am SUPER excited though. I can’t wait to have a beautiful new kitchen!! That kitchen designer better watch out though – I have a million questions. I know what style of everything I want, I’m just not sure of the layout. That’s what I really need help with. I know I want an island too, but we may end up waiting for that, depending on the cost.
