Fun Fun Saturday!

Okay, so I can't keep this in. My husband is soooo cute and so sweet! Today we went to IF to go shopping for him because we realized we had some extra money to spare. When he told me this I was all excited because he told me that I could buy an ipod that Ive been keeping my eye on. Its a great deal (129 or so for a 16 gb ipod) and he was so sweet about it because he kept telling me how excited he was to get me it. But then, I started thinking, and I came to realize that he had been talking about how he wanted new shoes. I looked at his shoes and they had holes in them, his shirts had holes in them and he wore the same four shirts all of the time. Here he was willing to buy me an ipod I didnt need instead of him getting clothes he really needed.
Because of that I started to tell him that instead of the ipod we were going to get stuff for him. That was when I first realized what he had been doing for so long. I would say that I wanted something and without him saying anything he would buy me the thing but inside he had been planing on buying something else but sacrificed it for me. As soon as I realized this I took him aside at a store and told him, in my very forceful stubborn way "We are buying you some new and nice looking stuff for you, no matter what you say. We are not buying me the ipod so you have about 100 dollars or so." He started by protesting that I really wanted the ipod and it was no big deal, but I insisted. It was also then that I realized that he would be so quiet and sweet about things that I would start to forget about my resolve. For example: We walked into target and I saw a cute shirt with a jack-o-lantern on it and started talking about how cute it was, not really realizing what I was saying. He said "well, why dont we get it? You think its cute and it would look cute on you." I started to get all excited about it but then I turned and pointed at him"YOU! You....You sly dog you! Today is all about you and we are not buying anything for me. You are pretty tricky you know?" he only laughed sheepishly and replied "Well, I would much rather buy you things and make you happy than buy things for me." It made me realize, as I do so many times, he is one of the most sweetest people I know.
Luckily, I am just as stubborn, or more so, as he so by the end of the night we had successfully bought three nice shirts, undershirts/garments, two jackets, and a pair of shoes. I wish we had gotten more but we ran out of time and resources. The cutest thing was when we got home. Of course he started helping me unload the groceries but I shooed him away and told him he needed to look at his new stuff because I could tell he was excited. He hurried and began to put his clothes and shoes on and started walking around the house, looking in a mirror, and acting like he was trying on his clothes for back-to-school, like high school or something. I thought it was the cutest thing. I loved seeing him so excited. He kept thanking me over and over again because the last time he spent a legit amount of money on himself (clothes wise) was senior year in high school! It was the funnest thing ever. He is so sweet and so cute, it was such a blast to spend the whole day with him and follow him and be his human clothing holder/fashion consultant. It was awesome! :D
