    Question Whats one special thing you'd love to do for your dh/so.....

    But haven't been able to because of finances.

    I'd love to be able to purchase dh a special saw he has wanted for a very long time. Due to finances, I haven't been able to as of yet. I know it would really touch him deeply if I did that.

    How about you?

    I'd love to take him to Disney. Buy him a new car. Get rid of any home repairs that may be on his mind. He'd love a giant hdtv too. lol

    Handicapped accessible van, so we wouldn't have to break down his scooter all the time,

    Big screen TV for his video games

    Dish TV- so he can get the weather channel.

    GW wants a memory stick for his MP3 player so bad....when he went to Baghdad all he had was 27 songs on his player - the plus side to this ~ when he came home I didn't have to listen to the Crash Test Dummies anymore!! He's being deployed again soon & this stick will enable him to take about 200 tunes with him - it was all he asked for for Christmas - BUT - it costs over $100 & just isn't in our budget right now.....hopefully before he goes we'll be able to swing it!!

    Let him quit his job, he hates it. Love to find one he likes that pays the same.
    If he could he'd stay home &work & play in the yard everyday.

    If it's something to buy...his very own shed with a woodstove and all kinds of power tools so he could build and fix things. Lotsa shelves and ceiling height & light.

    Oh where to begin. There are so many things that dh would like to have. A big screen TV, Surround Sound, a new car. But I think that the one thing that I would like to have been able to do was to be able to visit his parents so that he could spend Christmas with them. He has not spent Christmas with his parents in at least the 13 years that we have been together since they live in Florida. They never seem to make the trip up here around the holidays because it is too cold.

    Totally imposible, but I'd love it if he could talk to his father one last time. He died when Michael was 14 and I know as he has grown into a man there are things he would have wanted to talk to him about.

    On a realistic note, I'd like it if we had no debt and the house was all we can see it to be in our minds eye.

    Take him on a vacation. He wants to go somewhere so badly but we just can't swing it until DD graduates next year.

    I'd build him a greenhouse, decked out with all the bells and whistles. It would be in the backyard here (we call it the south 40) and he'd grow beefsteak tomatoes all winter long :drool: .
    I'd also buy him a brand spanking new boat. We sold our's years ago to build the pool and he's missed it every since.

    I'd like to get our equity loan paid off early as a surprise for him and buy him a new pickup truck. And keep us totally out of debt so money would not be a worry to him.

    I wish we could afford to buy him a new truck right now, but we just can't.

    I would also love to go on a cruise with him. He has always wanted to go on one.

    I'd love to be able to buy DH a truck again. He had to sell his when the twins came along so we could get a vehicle big enough to fit 3 cars seats and us in it. He loved that truck!!!

    I'd also love to take him on an Alaskan cruise. He has wanted to do this for years and dreams one day of just us going. I told him we'd have to do that when all the boys are grown and gone from our home.
