Best Husband Ever (take two)

July 22, 2010 | Uncategorized

So in case you missed my first best husband ever post, you can look HERE
Well, somehow, he outdid himself! I went to the gym this morning, then we met for lunch and I went to get groceries while he “went to the gym.” I came home and was on the phone with a client in the office when he came home. i got off the phone and went in the kitchen and he got down on one knee and I was so confused…then he handed me a car key/box things and I was again, confused, until I looked outside and this was sitting in the driveway!


I was so shocked! Bobby told me he had been planning it for a couple weeks, had gone to the dealership, haggled with the guy, etc! I of course gave him a big hug and immediately started crying. I was also very happy because Bobby drives a 1994 corvette with no AC or heat and it leaks when it rains, and so he is finally getting rid of it and will drive my 2007 4runner, so I am very happy he will have a good car now finally!
I of course had to get in

Best Husband ever! It is a 4runner limited, with leather seats, a sun roof, bluetooth, GPS/navigation system, voice command, heated seats, tailgate package, etc. etc. There are so many buttons I need to go read my manual. I am one lucky girl!!!

At the gym I did 30 min elliptical and a mile with incline on the treadmill at the gym.
Have a good night everyone!

    Love it!!! Great husband! Great blog! Sweet wheels!!! My nice-hubby award would have to be this past December – the night before the BRBMarathon (Baton Rouge)…remember that extremely COLD, ICY weather???? Well, that’s what was between us and Baton Rouge. Not to mention the fact that we spent the majority of the day in the ER with our 10 year old daughter – she had an ileus (intestinal obstruction – slight, thank goodness)…anywho, we got home around 5:30 from there, and my husband looked at me and said, “Do you really want to go to Baton Rouge?” My response???~!!!! “I did all that training. I’m going.” We all piled into the car, and he drove us there, slowly through the dark, rainy sleet! I was so happy – my daughter didn’t need surgery and I could run my race!

      wow what an ordeal! so glad you got to run your race, but sorry about all the chaos!

    That is so awesome! He definitely earned extra brownie points for that one!! I had a 2000 4runner limited two cars ago…and loved it!

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! ✈️

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! It’s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so it’s very easy to grab things in flight! I’ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? πŸ‘œβœ¨

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.
