My Husband Left Me

Dean is out of town on business, but before he left today, he made me these cards and sprinkled them around our tiny apartment.

Dean also called my mom from the airport to let her know where he was heading, and asked her to give me a call since I would be all alone at home.

Well done, Hubby! You are going to be a great dad!

Do you all know that I’m on Pinterest? http://www.pinterest.com/cgacad

I only mention it because Dean and I are obsessed with animals and I have been pinning non-stop to my Animal Board. I can’t get enough of these furry creatures. Whenever I need a pick me up, I just click over to my Animal Board! They always make me smile.

Have you seen the viral video of the sneezing baby panda? It’s one of our favorites! I sneeze several times a day (I have no idea why, I’m not sick) and Dean calls them baby panda sneezes.

    omg, your hubby is such a sweetheart 🙂 LOOOVE the notes and the fact that he called your mom. What an awesome thing to do!

    I’ve never seen this baby panda sneeze video! That was adorable 🙂 Just followed all of your Pinterest boards. You pin baby animals, too??? Of course we’re friends.

    XOXO
