Treadmills and Diamonds

When Hubby and I celebrated our first Valentines together as a married couple, our son was 4 months old and he was about to deploy to Iraq.

He had me convinced I was getting a treadmill for Valentines day (which he had to go to Savannah to get and I was excited because I actually wanted one). He came back empty handed and his buddy who was with him told me we're sorry Jeannie it will be delivered tomorrow. Well later that night hubby set me up with a hot bubble bath and told me to relax and not worry he had "the baby"...

I get out of the tub and go to the bedroom and there is a white teddy bear on the bed... I was so excited I ran and thanked him... Didn't actually pick up the bear till Hubby came with me to "look" at it as "he didn't get me a teddy bear"... Well low and behold on the wrist of that teddy bear was a beautiful ruby and diamond bracelet.

Hubby said, you didn't think I was actually going to get you a treadmill did you? It a huge surprise as I never expected it and my gift to him was card with phone cards in so he could call home.

Now after almost 15 years together and 10 years of marriage we spend our valentines with our boys doing family stuff and when we do get a date night he still makes me feel special.
