My Cowboy

The hubs and I had the whole weekend off together. I'm talking the WHOLE weekend, people...all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And I'm happy to report that we are both still alive and still love each other. : ) We spent a lot of time sleeping in later than normal, snuggling with his new fish pillow (you know what I'm talking about if you follow me on Instagram!), eating as much as we could without puking and getting our house prepped to sell in a few months. Or really just he did that last part while I watched tv. My husband is a keeper. 

Sunday was a pretty perfect day full of church, good eating, a random afternoon nap (which we never ever do) and a little shopping trip of the husband's choosing. He's such a country boy. 



Random side note: I had NO idea how much "real" cowboy hats cost. No thank you. 


Outfit picture in the bathroom...why not. 

Rawr. 

He sure did want one of those cowboy hats, but thankfully he listened to his voice of reason (aka me!) and decided to walk away without one. And that $80 sure does look pretty still in our checking account. He's more of a "hunter" than a "cowboy" anyway.

Every man needs a voice of reason. : )

Yes, cowboy hats are ridiculous in prices!! It's crazy! My hubby has one, & has had the same one for I don't know how many years now!

Oh my gosh, that is so funny! Matt and I were at Tractor Supply over the weekend and he was trying on those exact cowboy hats! It was really funny. I told him not to buy one too! lol. He's definitely not a cowboy!!

Cait said...

wooo what a great weekend girl and a FULL weekend at that ;) love the cowboy hats!! xo

Brittany @ Boots and Pearls said...

I agree! Cowboy hats are crazy in prices! Glad he had you with him to keep him straight! ;)

Have you seen the price of real cowboy boots?! Their extremely expensive too!!!!

Faith said...

ha, is it bad that i had no idea there was such a thing about a "real" cowboy hat. i thought a cowboy hat was a cowboy hat, hehe.

and yay for having the whole weekend together! i miss having those.

have a great week!

p.s. and that fish pillow that your hubby bought made me laugh out loud. i'm sure it's comfortable in his defense, haha.

Nicole said...

haha, but at least if you take care of the cowboy hats they last forever! I've had my straw hat since the 90's and my black felt hat since 2007 and my Silverbelly (white) felt hat since oh the mid 90's. All are still in great shape and they've even been kicked by cows :)

Aren't those weekends nice?? I've gotten SUPER spoiled in the past 2 months or so. Josh has been doing swaps or taking annual leave on the weekends that he has to work either Sat or Sun and the other weekends he's off both days. Now it's back to his regular schedule of only having one day off. :-(

What's your name on Instagram?!? Need to find you! Weekend naps are much needed sometimes - I've been doing a lot of the same :)

Sometimes I have to save my husband from himself too. Otherwise we would definitely have 'lost' the complete collection on blu ray. Maybe the real cowboy hat for his birthday? I'm glad you slept in and had some naps. I had two myself this weekend. Happiness is!!

Haha way to be the voice of reason, though I'm sure that cowboy had would have been put to good use. ;)

Sara @ Seeing Purple Stars said...

So are cowboy boots! I want a pair, but they are so expensive!

Sounds like a great weekend!

Alyssa said...

Yes, every man does need a voice of reason! :) I agree!

Allyson Butler said...

How fun that you got to spend the whole weekend together - that is always so nice!

Anna @ IHOD said...

Ahh what I would give for three whole days alone with my hubs. Hopefully for our 5 year anniversary:)

A cowboy hat seems to bring out another side of men;)
You two are the cutest.

Fran said...

$80 for a cowboy hat? Yikes! haha Glad you two got to spend the whole weekend together!!

Amber said...

Your dress is adorable! Glad y'all got a long weekend together, sounds like bliss! :)

Allison said...

So glad you got to spend the whole weekend with your man! And it's a good thing he has you around to keep him in check. I didn't know cowboy hats were that expensive either. Yikes!

BeckyJo606 said...

It sounds like our husbands are the same kind of guys! My husband has been on the hunt for a new pair of black cowboy boots. Those things are $$$!!! Glad you had a good weekend friend!

Kristin said...

Wow! Had no idea they cost that much! Good thing for your checking account that you were nearby :-). Sounds like a wonderfully delightful weekend! Hope your day today was just as good...

Pegster said...

Three whole days and still in love, woop woop. Good job you were there to stop him from buying an $80 hat. I am with you on that, just way too expensive. Go voice of reason.

The Heart Of A Woman said...

I totally agree men need a voice of reason! I missed your Friday blog and those one piece bathing suits are adorable! I have to find a cute one this summer so I need to check out that site!

Lindsey @ Running Down A Dream said...

I have TWO of those "real" cowboy hats. I paid about $85 for one of them back in high school!

Holly said...

Yay for a whole weekend off together! :)
Oh man how hard did I laugh when I saw that pillow? At first I thought it was one of those wall plaque things that sings and dances when it detects someone walking by (they frighten the life out of me in shops!). But no - somehow a giant pillow is even funnier!
I have to ask, has it got a name? ;-)

Janna Bogert said...

"Rawr" you just made me giggle ;) Sounds like an AMAZING weekend. Can't wait to get those back <3

Ashley said...

Gotta love a guy in a cowboy hat :-)

Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's said...

Love a man in a cowboy hat!

Liz said...

How on earth did I miss that pillow?!?!??! Hilarious. I hope you keep it on your bed FOREVER. Mike & I had the weekend together too, and we too are still alive & married. hahaha. I think he should have gotten the hat, and then you make him wear it alllll time since he wasted all that money.

Holly said...

Give me a baseball hat anyday over a cowboy hat!
