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!

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.
