You are a beautiful person

We got this anonymous note in our mailbox the other day. Apparently someone thinks that one of us is a beautiful person. Aww, thank you!

The husband found the note and it took me all night to convince him that it wasn’t from me. First of all, the handwriting is nothing like mine. Second, why would I tell him he was beautiful? Wouldn’t I say handsome? Or amazing? Or the best husband ever? He finally believed it wasn’t me when I showed him that the envelopes we have are a different color than the envelope the note was in. Geesh. 
Plus, hello, the note was totally meant for me, right? 
Now the husband is convinced he has an admirer. 
Anyway, I have my suspicions about who of our neighbors might have sent it, but I really have no idea. We got a kick out of it though! I’ve heard of people leaving anonymous notes like this to encourage others, and I’ve seen sweet messages like this in the women’s restroom at work. So now I’m thinking I need to pass the note along to someone else. 
Have you ever found a note like this????

    well at least your hubby isn't like jealous or worried some guy is gonna try and win you right? LOL I think it's funny that he thinks it's for him! 🙂

    The husband does shovel snow for the single mother across the street……..I'd say that qualifies as a beautiful person! Not to say that you are not a beautiful person, too!

    Honestly, I find that a little creepy. Maybe it's just me though:) Make sure you're locking your doors!

    Yesterday I didn't leave a comment because of how I took this note. I am really glad people look at it so positively. But, Jon & I both agree with "Vander Molens"! However, both of you are beautiful in every sense of the word.
