My birthday is in exactly 2 weeks and while usually I despise my bday (it never turns out very good), this year I have been hoping for a different outcome! My very first Mother's Day is the day before and with baby E who could not enjoy a birthday. He makes every day so wonderful for me that it is only certain that I will enjoy my b-day this year :)
Well me and DH were shopping at Nordstrom earlier last week and walked past the Coach handbags (my long time love :P) and I stopped to just take a peek at them. I saw one I really liked and DH said he would buy it but that's all I was getting. I laughed and said maybe cause in reality I really don't need another Coach purse. THEN we walked past the Coach store and I had to just go see what other styles they had out in that pattern. I ended up liking a bit bigger one better (the blue pocket hobo), but also saw the pink groovy bag that was a bit smaller and maybe more manageable with E. All of a sudden DH asks the salesperson if they have any diaper bags ( I asked for when while PG and he said "No way in hell!"). So she brings the only one they had...and I loved it! But it was way expensive so I told DH he could buy me whatever he wanted, I just wanted him to put effort and thought into it. I told him several times during the week he didn't have to get me anything from there cause I felt guilty about secretly (or not so secretly lol) wanting such expensive gifts.
SO we went shopping Sunday ( we shop a lot I know!!), and lo and behold we're at a NEW Coach store. Again, I look at the bags, then DH asks me to step outside with E (obvious much lol). After what seemed like forever he comes out with a big smile and a big box wrapped up. We start walking and he says do you want to know now or later. I told him I didn't care but he was just too excited and proud of himself that he blurts out he bought me ALL THREE for my bday!! The man is INSANE! But very sweet <3 I am so spoiled, and so very lucky :)
I know he was just trying to make me happy and give me a special Mother's Day/ Birthday and I love that. He is just about to get a promotion and I know that he's feeling so good about himself after all the BS we've gone through the last 12 months so I just didn't have the heart to give him grief for spending so much on me. Plus what girl doesn't like to get fancy purses ;P
I became a wife on Aug. 22 2008. A mother on Sept. 4 2009. And now I am struggling with the realities of both and trying to balance my newfound life in WA as a stay-at-home mom (most of the time)and trying not to drive myself crazy missing my friends and family in AZ. Please follow along on our amusing and crazy ride called "Our Life"!
