MUSHY LOVE STUFF
My friend Melanie did a blog recently. She asked for ideas for creative/inexpensive gifts or dates. It reminded me of how lucky I am to be be married to Dan. He is so romantic and creative when it comes to gift ideas. This is one of the many reasons that I love him. Here are two of my favorite gifts from Dan. LETTER IN A BOTTLE ~ I woke up to find a sparkling cider bottle floating in our kitchen sink. Inside the bottle this letter was rolled up in it. (Dan's name is missing from the letter. It was torn off. I need to fix it still! Then I am going to frame it.) FRAMED SCRABBLE BOARD When we were engaged, Dan gave this to me as a present. He glued scrabble letters to the board. The letters spelled out words that have special meaning to Dan and I. He then framed this board. (Unfortunately in the process of moving from Hawaii to Utah, the frame was broken. And some words are missing letters. So this along with the love letter is on my craft table. One of the many projects/to do list...
Where I have been
For the past week and a half I have had shingles. They are a form of chicken pox. Horrible painful bumps on my stomach, side, and back. Dan was originally approved to come home early to help out, but that fell through. The Dr told me to limit my contact with Zachary because he can not be immunized for chicken pox until he is 1 years old. HA! Yah right! Luckily though I have amazing friends who have helped me out. Watched the boys while I took pain pills and slept, brought me groceries, cooked me dinner. I have said it before, and I will say it again.......I am filled with so much gratitude and humbled at the kindness and love we have been shown during this past years deployment. I hope to one day re-pay the kindness . The good news is that I am just about pain free and the shingles are slowly leaving. I am on 3 antibiotics and no longer need the pain meds ! Yah ! Dan will be home soon and I can not wait. We miss Dan so much. I can't wait to just have him in the same room as us. ...
