I have to say, I married a sweetheart. Let me tell you guys what he did for me.
We sang at a wedding a couple weeks ago. The day of the wedding we went shopping for me a dress to wear in the wedding. The dress I found was so cute. And it looked really good on me--which is no easy feat considering the extra baby weight I still have. And to top it off, there was a sale: buy one get one free. So I got 2 dresses for the price of one.
Anyway, I wore the dress to the wedding, and got tons of compliments. I loved how I felt in that dress. I think only a woman could understand that. You know, when it eccentuates (sp?) all the good places and hides all the bad. I think it made me sing better, ha ha ha.
Well, 2 Sundays ago, I went to put the dress on to wear it for church and the zipper breaks. I was so upset. Later that week, we took it back to exchange it. They didn't have my size anymore. Talk about depressing! I did get my money back, though. So we went to the mall to see if we could find me another dress to replace it. At JC Penney's, we found the same brand, but not the same dress. So I got a different one. It was cute, but wasn't as cute and didn't fit me as well. I know some of you must think I'm crazy for going crazy over a dress. But if you knew how hard it is to fit me, you'd understand!
Fastforward to yesterday. Shaun told me that for my Mother's Day gift (part of it) he had found the dress in my size. He started out calling stores nearby and they didn't have my size. He ended up calling a California store. And they had it. They're shipping it to the local store. He wanted to surprise me with it Sunday morning, but he didn't realize how long it would take for them to ship it. So I'll get it in a couple weeks. How sweet is he?

oh. so sweet. i love it when they take our breath away.
I KNOW what you're talking about...it's that way with jeans also for me. When you find a dress or a pair of jeans that REALLY fits you...it's like the hallelujah chorus starts playing in the background and you'd do ANYTHING to keep those jeans or that dress safe! How sweet of Shawn to find it again for you! (I still can't believe you're getting a mother's day gift..you're a MOTHER! Wow.) Happy Mother's Day!
oh! oh! i didn't see the dress before! now i COMPLETELY understand!!
