I Love That Man O' Mine!

Mike is amazing! I'm not sure if you remember when he surprised me with this last summer? Well, he did it again. He completely surprised me. When I came home from Texas, I walked in to find 2 beautiful new end tables in my living room. He worked on them every day after work and all weekend long. The reason? He said it was because he knew how sad I was and didn't know what to say or do. He really wanted me to come home and see something that would make me happy. Something that would bring comfort into our home and be a reminder of how much I am loved.


I love the detail he put into these tables... the pictures just don't do them justice.



As if that wasn't surprise enough... besides working full time, building me furniture, and taking care of the kids... he also took over sole responsibility of taking care of our pet, which was a little worrisome to me because ever since we got him, he's been MINE. But I came home to, 'Hey, little buddy... are you hungry?' and 'See, he loves me. Do you see how he follows me around and gets all excited when I come over to him?' and 'I know it says to only feed him 2-3, but I feed him 4. Cause he likes it.' Yep, another big surprise was that Mike totally bonded with this little guy:


I think I'll wait a couple of weeks and completely have a melt-down... maybe I'll get a new table or an entertainment center out of it? (wink)
