Every morning, this handsome guy rolls into the kitchen to grab his coffee. That's why today, my husband is my Tuesday Kitchen Inspiration. Yesterday was his birthday. I won't tell you how old he is (except that he is two years older than me, and my birthday is in a few months...)! And I also won't lie and tell you it was a wonderful day... we got into a little tiff for part of the day. Yes, it was his fault. But by around 4:00, everything was more than fine. (This picture is on our way to dinner... which was divine, by the way!)
But why am I even bringing this up? Because of how the above incident was rectified. How he, my wonderful husband, fixed it.
He apologized. He said,
"I'm sorry. I love you. I hate that I made my bride upset." I don't know many men who do that - first. Who admit when they are wrong. Who don't try to justify everything. Who see that it sometimes
is their fault. Who are man enough to listen and take it all.
But I do know one man... and I do love you!
On another, completely different note, our
store has been chosen to be

Good morning! Thank you for the wonderful comment you left for me on Easter. Indeed, Christ loves us, messes and all. Aren't we lucky!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and today is no exception. To steal a phrase from my son, "You make my heart sing." Have a great day!
What an adorable husband you have! Belated birthday wishes to him. It takes a real man to admit that he is wrong. You're such a lucky lady. PS I love the giveaway. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet man you have!! I'm glad you all kissed and made up... and that he took the blame for his part in it all! I can't wait to see what you are giving away!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, sweet husband you have. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a dear man! Where did you go to dinner?
ReplyDeleteWe all get in to little arguments, but it is nice to make up and especially when they apologize. :)
I hope you had a wonderful Easter in Columbia. We need to get together and chat more too. We were there too with my parents.
YAY for your shop! (Did you get a new button? It looks great) Did I ever tell you that I have shopped there before I knew you. You deserve to be such a top pick!
Hope you are enjoying spring break. Have a great day.
AH! So cute.

Your DH is just the best! We all get into our little tiffs, the key is how we handle it. Like Bethany said, it takes a real man to admit when he was wrong. :-) Happy Belated b'day to him and thanks for mentioning the giveaway today! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day to your sweet husband. i simply love that you shared that you had a tiff and that he apologized. My hubby s a GREAT man but a lousy apologizer. You are indeed blessed.
ReplyDeleteI did not have a bathing suit on on the photo. I had white shorts and a Lily Tunic that is blue, green and yellow coral pattern. I got it last Spring at TJ Maxx! You will probably never see a photo of me in a bathing suit on my blog. I HATE wearing a bathing suit (although I wear them all summer).
Happy belated birthday to your hubby! Today's my mom's b-day and she and my dad are headed to your lovely state to visit my aunt. I will have to check out the giveaway.
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet story (goosbumps!)- happy birthday to your hubs!
ReplyDeleteMaking up is always so rewarding! That giveaway is fantastic - I just entered.
ReplyDeleteI had to stop by after visiting Shopaholics blog and seeing the amazing giveaway. Your store is adorable. If I lived close by, I would definitely be a loyal customer.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your husband. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful husband.
Have a great day.
Many tiffs between my husband and myself could have been resolved real quick if he had just said (right then & there) "I'm sorry, I love you, I made a mistake!" :) So TRUE! By the way, I'm now SURE that I've been to your shop before! What a small world! Also, thank you sooooo much for your prayers for my friend Jan--we are obviously very concerned for her.
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWWWW Happy, happy birthday to your sweet hubby! Sounds like a doll. I know what you mean about the tiffs...he seems to know how to make it right though...and I love that he calls you his bride :) My dad calls my mom that every once in a while and I love it.
ReplyDeleteRunning over to visit my sweet friend Bama Girl right now!
Hugs to you Bevy!
I love that he calls your 'bride' it sounds so special. Glad you both had a special night out.
ReplyDeleteis he my age? Lucky number 14... hope that makes you happy :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that he is able to apologize ~ makes all the difference when faced with the bumps in a marriage. Hope the two of you enjoyed celebrating his special day.

What a good man...and you are a very lucky lady to have him. A belated happy birthday to him and hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteBTW-it wasn't me on Facebook (Jess emailed me), not sure what was exchanged or with whom but it wasn't with this gal. Email me if you have a chance!
Hope you have a great day!
What a dear man you have! It is clear that you have a friendship first and that is really special! You are very right that men have a hard time admitting fault! Why is that? Oh well, be happy to have that dear groom! Love it!
ReplyDeletetag, your it darling, a little something for you at mine, happy Thursday xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a keeper! In 14 years of marriage my hubby has NEVER apologized...
