Help
I returned to my office after a meeting this afternoon to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for me there. It’s not my birthday or my anniversary. It’s not a special holiday and no my DH is not in the doghouse. I began to think if I have recently pleased a client enough to warrant a thank you gift. I opened the card and was amazed to find they were from my DH. “Why is this so amazing?” you might ask. Well, in over 30 years together he has never sent me flowers without it celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or an appropriate holiday. As I read the card I began to cry. This unexpected gift was because of a LO I created. I had created a LO with photos from a concert we went to, but what made it special was that we attended this concert the day after his mother passed away. I journaled about it and it touched my husband in ways I did not expect. It was such a neat experience that I just had to share this with all my SG friends.

What a sweet, sweet thing to do and how surprising! If men just knew how far these little gestures go, they'd do them all the time. I'm excited for you. You need to take a photo of them!
Life is an adventure of many colors. Enjoy the view.

I knew you would all be as impressed as I was and I thank you for your comments. As for the special LO, I'm not ready to share it yet, but I promise I will one day soon.
