Day 190 – Just for Vinny

I happened to be married to the kind of guy who always puts his family first…ALWAYS. He is by far the best man I have ever, ever known. He works so hard and gives so much so often - it is absolutely endearing and a true honor to be on the other end of that. I have to insist before he will do anything for himself (taking time to golf, buy himself something, etc.). The boys and I have been blessed to have him in our lives for the past 12 years and I eagerly await many, many more.

He has been such a huge part of this blog and everything I am doing. He has supported me and encouraged me every single day. He is always willing to do anything I plan. He loved Heather so much and loved how close we were as well. He knows the importance of this blog and that kind of support is my favorite part of being married to my best friend.

Today I wanted to get him some new clothes but knew it would be hard to convince him to go. He always says that “he’s good and doesn’t need anything”. I usually break down and just buy his things for him when he’s not even there. But I decided that today for my intention I would take him to get some new clothes. I asked him to come with me to the market but took him to TJ Maxx instead (love that store!). He resisted at first but I insisted saying that I wanted him to have some new stuff and that he totally deserved it. He wandered in with me and we ended up having a great time. He absolutely insisted that I get some stuff too and it ended up being so much fun – just the two of us – shopping away. We went out to dinner after and the evening was perfect.

Showing appreciation comes in so many ways, planned and unplanned- sometimes big sometimes small. This intention was just a small way to show my appreciation for my husband and ended up absolutely making my day. #HGAL
