just what i needed

So when my dear husband came home from work I was feeling fine (I thought). My little one had spent the last half hour clinging to my legs and putting her tiny body in between me and the stove then using her tiny butt to "BUTT" me away from my cooking (which I RARELY do).  She had been whining and crying and even holding her wasn't making her happy... I call it her "Witching Hour"  because I never know why she's grouchy and it's around the same time every day.
So my husband walks in and I must have looked like death. I had been having a great day but the last week had been long days and nights with sick kid and apparently I was wearing a pooped out look on my face.
He said, "Do you want to get out of the house for a while?"
I said, "No.... well, maybe."
Him, "Do you want to go buy some shoes?"
Me, "I don't need to, I'm okay."
Him, "Why don't you just go and see if you can find something... "
Me, Long pause..... (This normally shouldn't be a hard thing to convince me of ) ........."okay."
I went upstairs and put on real clothes for the first time that day and left feeling so stoked to have such a sweetie of a guy. 

While I was out I found this shirt and I had to at least try it on...



I didn't find shoes but I found two cute tops. It was refreshing and just what I needed. 
I look back at some of the guys I dated and I think what would my life be like with some of those insensitive guys? (not all of them but a LOT, I knew how to pick em).... then I just feel overwhelmingly grateful that God knew just what I needed too.

first off, yes, you are so cute and skinny. But what I really wanted to say is, yes, you are so lucky that you married Brent. And second, he is so lucky that he married you! You love and support him, and he does the same for you. What a great combo!!!! :)
