Dan surprised me with the unexpected gift of a Kate Spade purse! It’s the Lawrenceville Slim Kenny, and is the perfect black purse!
My first thought was, “Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?” Don’t get me wrong — Dan is a wonderful husband, but I’ve never known him to have such stellar taste in fashion. And then I remembered that I was perusing the Kate Spade surprise sale online a couple weeks ago and that the purse had caught my eye. I had shown it to Dan but he told me that even on sale, the handbag was too expensive and that we needed to save with all of the extra expenses we have with Mio. I was disappointed but agreed, and quickly forgot about it. Little did I know that he went online to order it himself later as a surprise for me. The occasion? None, except that he wanted to reward me for “working so hard, balancing motherhood and work.” I do admit it that I have been pretty stressed out and exhausted lately. I’m just looking forward to going home to Virginia at the end of the year and getting a much-needed respite from it all!
This was a truly sweet pick-me-up and I can’t wait to go out with it! I can see myself using this handbag for years — something tells me this is only the beginning of a long, enduring friendship! π
I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a thoughtful and loving husband, and the sweetest daughter we could have asked for. This is our first Thanksgiving as a family, and we have so much to be thankful for! π
