My Hero

I bought a dress for my princess. I debated on what size to get and stupidly picked the smaller size. I always buy a bigger size especially if it is for an upcoming season that is still a few months way. But I looove the dress! It looks so good on her, it is brown and pink and she really looks beautiful in it. But nonetheless, it was going to be too small by summer. So, I thought I would just take it back and exchange. Went to the Target in Salem, they didn't have a 5T. Okay, so sent my husband to the one in Sherwood where I originally bought it and I know they had a 5T just a few days ago. But no, he couldn't even find the rack at first that held the dresses. He wandered all over the girls section with 2 cranky girls (one was also poopy) and finally found where they were only to discover they did not have a 5T. He called me, he knew I loved the dress and I suggested he ask a sales person to track one down. Well, they apparently had one somewhere at the Sherwood store but he was not going to look through every nook and crany to find it, they had 1 in Wilsonville and 2 at Washington Square (these places are in complete opposite direction from each other). He decided to try Wilsonville and if they didn't have it to backtrack to the other store (I would have gone in the direction of the 2 dresses, but that is me). Fortunately, they had it in Wilsonville. Yay! I will post pictures later and you will see what I mean. Okay, so "hero" might be too strong of a work, but the fact that he was willing to drive all over the place to find this dress for his daughter (and for me since I loved it so much) just makes me love him more. 4 years ago I bet he would never have imagined doing that.

I think that qualifies for the title "hero". He may have been miserable although, men do love to "hunt" for things.
