I have the best husband ever!
Just to preference the story a little. Blair and I have been in the market for a new dining table for the past 4 weeks or so.... probably longer. The table we have now is too small and we're ready to upgrade. So I have made all my efforts to go out looking for a new table for and have been to probably a dozen furniture stores.
After doing all my homework and many hours and weeks of shopping/looking, last Saturday I had finally found THE one. It was perfect. I loved everything about it! I hadn't felt this way about any other table I had seen until now. I was in love. We spoke to the Dave, the salesman, and we told him we weren't quite ready to commit (Blair, not me:) and we would call him later that afternoon and let him know if we wanted it. He said, "You need to call me by 6:00pm, I'm leaving then." We told him, "Not a problem, we'll keep in touch."
We hit up one more store where we had found a few we had liked before, just to make sure we were positive on that table. Time had passed and 6:00 o'clock had come and gone, even after much deliberation and me trying to convince Blair that I knew this was the one for us, we didn't make that call.
Blair called Dave on Tuesday afternoon, to let him know we decided we were ready to order the table. Dave say, "Unfortunately, the last table had been sold, and the company is discontinuing that line and no more are available to order." NOOO!!! My heart was broken. I felt like I had just been betrayed. My only true table love was gone forever, and I was not sure how long it would take for me to heal. I told Blair it would probably take me a couple months before I could start looking again for another table. I knew I wouldn't be able to find another one like it.
So the past few days I have been mourning. I didn't realize how attached I had become to this piece of furniture in such a short amount of time. I didn't even know that was possible. Blair was comforting, thank goodness I at least a shoulder to cry on, and he showed remorse over the loss as well.
This weekend kicks off the celebration of love. Happy Valentines Day! Blair had the day off today and I unfortunately was stuck at work. I came home this afternoon from work around 4:30pm, and as I walk in the door I am greeted, loyally, by Charlee eager to say hello and Blair sitting on the couch.
Then I see it. Out of the corner of my eye. It couldn't be. I take another look. IT IS!!! THE table is sitting in our kitchen with a bouquet of roses on top. It was the most beautiful sight ever! And the most amazing surprise of my life! Blair really got me! What a sweetie. He said he knew I loved surprises, and knew I would love this one. He couldn't have been more right! The best gift ever! Words can't express my happiness. I love you, Blair!
The picture doesn't do this table justice - but here it is in all its glory. I'm just so excited, I had to share!! :)
