God's Reminder of Love

This morning, Vegas (the cat) was running around the house with her "adopted baby" aka this little 6" teddy bear that Tommy gave me on our 1st date. It really took me back to the day he gave it to me. We had gone on our very first date on February 13th 2004 and were on the car ride on the way home. He went in his glove box and pulled out the little brown bear holding a heart that said "love" and asked me to be his Valentine. I don't know if we even knew what love was at that time but it just makes me smile to think how 5 1/2 years later we are still and love and married. I still remember that little bear smelled like is cologne for weeks--what a sweet, comforting smell it was. I think Vegas loves that bear because it is full of love--so I'll share it with her. It's funny sometimes how God reminds us of our roots and relationship foundations with such a simple gesture. So, thank you God, for my husband. I couldn't have been blessed with a more wonderful man.

New York, New York

It's official...our trip to New York City is booked from Dec 4-6. I am absolutely ecstatic because it will only be my 2nd time going! We are going with Tom's parents & going to visit Tom's brother, David--which is sure to be filled with fun adventures. Wooo hoo!!!

Still working on "thank you" cards from the wedding. I have completed 47 but still have about 31 left. They are taking a while to write, but I am really personalizing them all--I think everyone deserves a nice hand-written and personalized "thanks" for all the wonderful love and support they have shown us. My goal is to have them out before Christmas, which I think is more than reasonable.
