Yesterday was mine and Erik’s 4th anniversary. We usually try to do something like going out to eat at a special restaurant or even take a trip. But, since BabyK arrived, we wanted to not go extravagant as you never know what may come up with a baby financially. So, we agreed to make our own dinner at home, but to grill steaks and have baked potatoes instead of the ole chicken salad sandwich or grab-whatever-looks-good-in-the-fridge supper.

But when Erik came home, he also surprised me with a little gift….

“…and Baby makes three!” – New Parents Ornament

Every year since we have been married, we have gotten a new ornament for our tree from Hallmark’s Keepsake collection. This year, he got the “New Parents” one. He said he chose that one because a lot of people would probably be giving us ones that say “Baby’s First Christmas” and things like that. He wanted one that, since it was our anniversary, still included him, but would be about us…. that would mark our first Christmas as parents. (*SWOON!*)

He is so thoughtful. I mean, how much sweeter can you get???

Well, he took it to the next level.

See, earlier in the week, I had shown him the WDD Blue Fridays video and we had a little chat about it and made sure he had blue shirts he could wear, etc. I didn’t think anything of it after that. Well, he apparently did. Because other than the ornament in the bag, I also had this:

Blue circle bead for my Belk bead bracelet (say that 3xfast!)

I automatically assumed that since it was a light-ish blue, it would represent BabyK on my bead bracelet. He looked at me and said “Look at it again… what does the color look like?”. I went dumb. I can’t believe I didn’t see it. He looked at me and said “It’s almost the exact color of the Diabetes blue circle!”. It was then it hit me. “OH! OMGOSH! THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!!”

I have a wonderful husband.

I love him.
