Alrighty, so our van died on him yesterday as he was headed out of town. Transmission death. It was a 2004. DH doesn't "do" cars. Hates to shop for anything. A car? Fuhgettaboutit!! He doesn't play games or negotiate. So we go to a dealership today. Toyota. See a Camry. All but buys it today at lunch. We are driving it for a day to see.

HERE is the story. He went to the transmission place to unload stuff from the van. When he came home he told me he had emptied it and left it at shop. My heart sank. Why? Because the silly little vinyl thing on the back windshield with the peewee team, DS name and number was on there. I didn't let on because that would have been silly. He leaves to get out of his clothes and comes back to me and tells me to get some paper out. He then pulled out the vinyl sticker that he borrowed a razor blade from the shop to scrape off the decal. It was all paperclipped together not to lose any of it. Awwwwww...He then said I need to tell all of my Pea friends. He told me how all the guys in the shop were standing around and watching and kind of wondering what the stupid guy in the suit was doing. He said he told them they didn't understand and that it looked silly but that his wife would be very happy that he was doing what he was doing.

So here I am telling all of my pea friends what a great guy he is!!

Awwww that is so so sweet.
My hubby gets it, he even takes photos for me...but not sure if he would have even realized to do this.

Funny how its things like this that melt my heart and not the big extravagant gestures.
