an unexpected gift

Sundance and I spent the afternoon together yesterday. We went to lunch, (Mexican, YUM!) went to get our hair done, (two cute new dos) and ran errands (to purchase ribbon at AC Moore).
We came back home and hung out while I made her some bows. YBW came home excited to see Sundance. (They were very close friends in elementary school.) There were hugs and kisses then he went into the other room. But the noises were not those of him emptying his pockets like he normally does. They were of metal banging and rustling plastic. Sundance and I looked at each other waiting for him to find the pressie I left on his chair.
He comes into the room with his hands behind his back. Then he presents us with the precious dollies we fell in love with when we went to say goodbye, Why Not?.

Redhaired “Adele” for me and brunette “Jeanne” for Sundance.
(Yes, there was squealing!)

After Sundance left I took my dollie upstairs to our bedroom.
I thanked YBW again and told him it was kind of him to get both dollies. He told he almost gave me mine for Valentine’s day, but he’s glad he waited because the look on Sundance’s face made it all worth it.
What a sneaky bugger my husband is.
What a precious, kind man my husband is.

I was all smiles this morning when little Adele greeted me from my comfy chair.

I picked her up and hugged her and started my day. Her face makes my heart so happy I can hardly stand it!

  1. These dolls are adorable and such a nice husband. 🙂 I am happy still wedded bliss reigning in your household! ♡♡

    • It was SO sweet of him. Because he has only a brother and two sons, he’s never really been around girls that much. The fact that he’s learning that dollies can be important is very special.
      I tease him that there are days I want to squeeze him so tight and other days I want to kick him in the face. But honestly, he’s quite lovely and I’m pleasantly surprised at how much he is understands what’s important to his bad ass yet girlie girl wife.
      I think I’ll keep him. 😀

      • You found a good one and it will get better and better! 🙂 Thank you for telling me why it is so special to have him get you dollies with yours and his friend, Sundance. ♡
