I had a minor meltdown last night. Thank goodness for DH
Yesterday was a long (but mostly great!) day. DH and I got up, exchanged presents, then headed to my grandma's. My entire family goes there (50+ people), and we eat all day and play cards and exchange gifts. I've never NOT gone there at Christmas. I love it. We took our wedding album (the really nice one - ya know, the expensive one?) for everyone to look at. Everyone loved it.
When we finally got home (at 9:30 last night - we left the house at 7:30 that morning) I was exhasuted, and a little bummed out. This year is the last year we are going to have xmas at Grandma's - she is 89 and has been slipping (physically and mentally). She will almost for sure not be in her house next year. We've done Christmas there every year my entire life. So I'm bumming hard core, no big deal. DH REAAAAALLLLY had to pee, so he ran in the house. I told him I'd grab the few things in the car and bring them in.
In attempting to do so, I DROPPED our album in the snow.....I got inside and LOST IT. DH grabbed the hair dryer and gently dried it out. (PSA - Don't try wiping wet pages with paper towels- it can smear the ink.) Luckily, DH saved it. The inside cover is a cardboard like material (I'm assuming to protect everything) - no pics, nothing. It's glossy finish is a little rough in a few small spots now because it got wet, but everything else is fine. You can't even notice the part that isn't perfect unless you touch it.
My DH is amazing. He worked on it f;or 20 minutes while I was bawling hysterically. I'm so glad he saved it.
