I have the BEST husband ever!

I just have to share this story because I'm still smiling about it. My H and I went to West Palm Beach Thursday-yesterday to see my parents for a mini vacay. We both went straight to work yesterday after our flights.

I came home last night and walked in my house and it was fully toilet papered. Our 2 year wedding anniversary was Monday and he had my friend (who was house/cat sitting) decorate the house in toilet paper that said "Happy Anniversary I love you" It was hysterical. To top it off, he had a mannequin that he borrowed from our neighbor at the top of the steps and the mannequion had a t shirt that said "I just celebrated my 2nd "cotton" wedding anniversary and all I got was this stupid t shirt". THEN, I get into the kitchen and the top layer of our wedding cake was sitting there. He had it recreated from Icing on the Cake!!!!! it was amazing!

 And then finally, he had bought cotton red roses and had them all over the house. It was so great and totally unexpected!

Backstory: He was supposed to fly to London from Palm Beach for work for a week on Monday so he felt so terrible about not being with me on our anniversary that he planned that whole thing thinking he'd be in London. His trip got postponed cause of all the air traffic problems last week so it was great that he was able to see it all decorated!

 Sorry for the long post, but I thought it was so cute and wanted to share!

  • I literally just went "Awww" out loud; so sweet of him!  I hope you took lots of pictures of everything, and if you did PIP please!

    Happy Anniversary, by the way!

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I did take some pics, but how do I PIP? I'm so lame, hahaha!
  • PIP is super easy, and there are a few different ways.

    Method 1
    1) Upload your pics to www.tinypic.com.  Select the resize to website/email option.
    2) C&P the code they give you here.

    Method 2
    1) Upload your pics to Shutterfly or Flickr.
    2) Right click on the image, copy.
    3) Come back here, right click, paste.
    4) You can resize by dragging and dropping the corners (doesn't preserve the height/width proportions unfortunately so you have to eyeball it) or by manually changing the height/width measurements. To do the latter, right click on the image in Shutterfly/Flickr, select Properties, make note of the size of the image.  Come back here, click on your pic, select the tree icon on the toolbar, then manually adjust the h/w numbers by whatever %age makes sense.

    HTH!

    No kidding!!
  • Definitely echoing on the "Awwww's!" That's so cute! I like the idea of recreating the wedding cake topper. MH just mentioned how much he loved our wedding cake and it would be cool to be able to do that for him on our anniversary in Oct.

    Big Smile

  • That is AWESOME!!!  Kudos to him!  And happy anniversary, as well!!

  • That is sooo adorable!

    And I'm super jealous of you for having Icing on the Cake again. In my dreams my mom is getting the cake for my shower there, but in reality I'm sure it will be from BJs :-P

     haha, start dropping hints about it now! I am obsessed with Icing, although, there is something to say about the yummy BJ's sheet cake. They do a good job!

  • That's so sweet of him!!!
  • That's awesome!  Happy belated anniversary.
