Part of me wishes I was the type to post pictures of every little thing.

But I’m not.

So I’ll just write the details down.

On Christmas night, we try to go by my grandmother’s but I wasn’t feeling too good, so I sent my husband over there to take the present I’d bought her.  He comes back with her present to me and I swear, I choked up.

It’s a framed, matted & mounted needlepoint history of my life with him.

Bordered on one side, it’s about him, it list things like: Husband, Father, brother, son, deacon, pressman, dallas cowboy fan.

On the other side, it’s me: Wife, Mother, daughter, sister, author, nurse.

At the top, it lists the church where we married, the day.

Then it lists our kids, and what they like to do…the bratler-reading and horses, Romeo, math and transformers, the baby bratlet, candy and climbing.

Below that, it has trips we’ve taken-Alaska (with an igloo stitched in), Ireland and four leaf clovers, the zoo and a tiger, and Disney….including Cinderella’s Castle.

Down at the bottom, it reads:  All Because Two People Fell in Love.

I choked up.  I choke up now just thinking about it.  It’s one of the most amazing gifts I’ve ever received.  Words can’t describe how much I already treasure that.  Man.
