Sweetest Day 2008

First of all, let me just say that I believe 'Sweetest Day' is just another day for Hallmark to make a lot of money. That aside, it is always nice to be remembered on these 'non-holidays', don't ya think?

Case in point. Today is Sweetest Day. Didn't remember it...didn't really care. But how can I not be touched when my DH (that is 'Darling Husband' in blogland language) remembered me today?

Here we are when we were courting, way back when. (This is a picture of pictures, so very bad quality...To clear up any confusion, the picture OF the pictures was taken this past July.)



Here we are today:



JUST KIDDING, PEOPLE!!! I just really liked these vintage pictures and didn't have anyplace else to put them...

Jim came back from running errands this morning and handed me this:



He knows that flowers are my preference for any occasion...



But wait! There's more!

He says to me, "I got you something else, Honey." (The "honey" part I think I just imagined, but hey! It's MY blog and MY selective memory...LOL)

Then he hands me this:




















Just kidding again. No, he gave me something MUCH MORE valuable! Drumroll, please...






















I made out like a bandit today, considering I had forgotten all about it! (Sorry, Jim...Start dropping hints early next year if you want to be remembered):




My DH really is wonderful and I love him very, very much!!!

HAPPY SWEETEST DAY, JIM!!!
