I Love My Husband

Now this happened a little over a year ago, but it's still a cute story.

My hubby, the love of my life, the father of my children, the most romantic man ever; Surprised me with a trip to Barnes and Noble. Not just any trip but a special one that included me meeting one of my favorite authors. He arranged for a babysitter and said we were going out. But I didn't have to get dressed up. So I figured we were going to grab a bite to eat or catch a movie. The thing is we drove for what seemed to be a really long time. Why go this far for casual dining? What time do we need to get back to pick up the girls? Are we going to the movies? Are we there yet? I asked. He just just said ever so politely to shut my piehole. Apparently, I sounded like one of the kids. So we arrived at the book store but he parked in front of the TJMaxx I think? (remember this was a year ago). So I got all excited that my man is taking me shopping. All shoot now.. I'm about to get some new boots, a couple pair of jeans, a sweater, a purse, some sexy things...my mind was running up our visa before my foot hit the ground. But he grabbed my hand and headed in the opposite direction. "The bookstore?" I said. Now don't get it twisted, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE books but when I start thinking about new clothes books just don't sound like so much fun. As we walked in the door I saw a line wrapped around the store twice over. Then I saw the sign:

Nicholas Sparks book signing tonight!

Oh wow. And look! What does my love have in his hand but a brand new copy of the "Notebook" and the DVD too. I tell you even now, a year later, I still smile when I think of this wonderful night. Thus the title: I Love my husband.

I have a link to his website under "Books to read in 2008"

The last picture is of another fan who was in line behind us. She brought her pet snake to meet Nicholas Sparks. The snakes name was "Ally" like in the book.
