Re: When you see my husband....

[Guest guest]

Kristi,

WOW! All I can say is you have one great husband! He obviously loves you

very, very much to go to all that trouble. I'm glad you both had such a

wonderful time! Thanks for sharing. Yep, there are good guys out there, but

they're normally taken.... See? You've just proved that <grin>! Someday, I

pray that I'll find the kind of love that the two of you share.

The weekend of Aug. 19th, my hubby told me we were going out of town for our

wedding anniversary. Now that would thrill some, but not me because he

wouldn't

tell me where, and being the control freak that I am...well....NOT!

Anyway, he drives around trying to keep me guessing, pulls into the airport

(keep in mind only private planes fly out from here, can you say tiny

airport?)

I refuse to get out of the car cause I think he is teasing me....

Well, he has hired a private plane to fly us to God knows where. ( I am

thinking

I am going to die and still not know where I was headed)

We reach Gulf Shores, AL. So I am thinking... oh nice, beach weekend ...

romantic...whatever....

Well, there is a rental car waiting, we go eat lunch, check in the Courtyard

Marriott, complete with hot tub and roses. So, I think, yep, he's thinking

he's

gettin some..... (sorry)

Well, he tells me to get in the car, that isn't the surprise. Takes me to

the

outlet mall and tells me to go shopping... I say " are you going to buy me an

outfit? " He says " No, more like until my money runs out... SHOP! " He didn't

have to say that twice! I never got excited about shopping before cause how

do

you get excited about the DRESS BARN?!?!?!!?

Well, needless to say, 1500.00 later I have a new wardrobe of Liz Claiborne

including underwear and all the fixings. Before flying back home, I called

my

Mom and told her " If the plane crashes, I will be the one in the size 7 Liz

Claiborne underwear! "

So, when you see us at the picnic, be sure to pat him on the back, he sure is

patting himself on the back and telling everyone. I think he had as much

fun if

not more than me just being there and treating me to all that!

See, there are decent men in the world! Lord knows I got a great one and I

was

FAT when I got him.

Take care & see you at the picnic!

Kristi,

This madness has got to stop. Please, tell your husband that this is

unacceptable. He's setting the bar too high for the rest of us.

I hope no females read your post.

Severely yours,

What a heart-warming story!!! You congratulate that husband of yours and tell

him he is a jewel! That was a super nice thing to do for you.

Kristi,

I just LOVED your story and I remember thinking when I met you pre-op what a

nice husband you had then. Now he's up there in the Husband Hall of Fame!!

But I also remember thinking you were going to be absolutely gorgeous when

you lost weight (since you had " such a beautiful face " ). My guess is he's

scared of all the men who are now eyeing you and wants to be sure he shows

his appreciation!!!!!

Can't wait to see the new you.

Kristi,

You are very lucky, I too have a husband who seems to be very proud of

me now, and before I always wondered what he really felt. My own

insecurities. Even while I was on my plateau from hell, he was saying nice

things, it really helps to make one feel good. You have to keep thanking him

, but really let him know how much you appreciate what he did for you. Hope

to meet you at the picnic.

Does he give " How to be a wonderful husband " seminars/classes/lessons?

Perhaps one could be arranged for the picnic weekend....

thinks he has a New wife!! LOL

> Trudy

Hey Trudy, maybe that is why my tight wad hubby tried to kill me

with carrot cake.....he is scared to death I will start shopping for

7-8 hours!

If he has figured out that the more weight I lose the longer I can

shop....I can see him sabotaging my efforts ....shhhhhh we can't

let this secret out!

lololol
