I had been dropping hints all month that since year one is paper, technically anything could be given if he paid in cash or check (geez, I sound so greedy!). I mentioned paper gift cards to spas, plane tickets to a beach resort, wads of money. You know, things I need.
Pat has always been a great gift giver (well, except for the first year we were dating when he gave me an apron and a gift card to the grocery store for a gift...ummm, what do you think I am?) so when our anniversary night rolled around, I knew whatever the gift, it would rock.
And it did. I cried (well, I'm a crybaby anyway) and I was blown away by how incredibly sweet it was.
Here goes.
Going with the paper theme, he got me a beautiful leather handmade journal. He included a note with the journal that he would like us to write little facts of life and advice in this journal throughout the years so that our children can have it when they are older. Maybe lessons we have learned, things that made us happy, or just anything at all.
I even thought that it would be soooo cool if we had a daughter and she carried this little leather journal down the aisle on the day she gets married. So you can see why I was in tears when I read the note.
I don't know how Pat has the time to come up with great gift ideas when he is busy studying and going to recruiting events for 80+ hours per week but all I can say is I am pretty lucky. Here is a picture of the journal Pat bought from Jenni Bick Bookbinding (stock photo from the Jenni Bick website)
Here's another beautiful option:
