My Sweet Husband

I must brag on my sweet husband! Although my birthday was earlier this month, better late than never for me to brag on him, right? The days leading up to my birthday he gave me a little gift each day. They were VERY sweet and thoughtful things that he knew I would enjoy. He definitely put time and thought into them, and I was very pleasantly surprised each day!!

Day 1: He gave me a Starbucks gift card, because I like to occasionally treat myself to an Iced White Chocolate Mocha even though they add up quickly in the budget!!

Day 2: He gave me a gift certificate to get my nails done.

Day 3: He gave me an expensive set of Nexus Shampoo and Conditioner :), which I thought was the most creative! I always talk about wanting to try "nice" shampoo and conditioner since I blow dry my hair and use a straight iron on it every day. I'm always curious to see if it will make a difference for my hair, but I hate to spend the money on it.

Day 4: He also gave me a gift card to Chick Fil A, which is located downstairs in my office building....as well as the mall and right next to my nail place - we frequent Chick Fil A quite often!

He always had Campbell bring me the gifts. She'd hand them to me and say "Daint you Mommy", which means Thank you Mommy. She always says "thank you" when she gives something to someone - so cute!

Then for my actual birthday he bought me a ring that I have been wanting for my right hand ring finger. It just arrived this past Friday!! We had to have it adjusted to fit, so it took a couple extra weeks. It fits perfectly, and I love it more than I remember when we picked it out!! Thanks honey!!!

Besides being a sweet husband by giving me GREAT birthday presents, Matt is actually a wonderful husband year-round! He is so involved with EVERYTHING.....chores around the house, getting Campbell ready in the mornings or getting her ready for bed....he's the greatest yard-man, garbage-man (I NEVER take out the trash unless Matt is out of town, and usually then I forget since I'm so used to him doing it...in fact, he'll usually get it ready for me before he leaves town so all I have to do is carry it to the curb), car-man (he always fills my car up with gas and takes the cars in for any maintenance or inspection that they need), bills-man (he handles ALL the bills even though I know sometimes he wishes I would), Shelby-man (Matt always takes her to the vet when she needs to go and he keeps her nails trimmed, hair trimmed, teeth cleaned, everything).....and best of all MY-man!!! I love you Matt!! I don't know what I would do without you honey!!

aaawwwwwww.... That is so sweet what you wrote about Matt! I must be hormonal because my eyes started to fill up! It's nice to see couples so in love! Happy belated Birthday Missy! I think the best gift you got was Matt and Campbell! P.S. Let me know about the Nexxus S/C... is it all that?
