Mother's Day

I thought I would share with the class what my amazing husband did for me on my "first" Mother's Day. To start with, I wasnt expecting anything other than to be wished Happy Mother's Day from him because I dont know if I'm technically worthy of a big celebration having not given birth yet...but I should have known he would have something up his sleeve.

The morning started out normal with us getting ready for church and barely making it in time for Sunday School (I dont know what we'll do or how late we'll be when there's a baby to consider...). When we got home Luke started the grill to grill our pork chops for me. While the pork chops were cooking he came in from the garage looking sheepish/up to something with a big weed eater box in hand. Now, I though he was going to do something with it in the back yard, so I just moved on until he ushered me into the living room and presented me with the box. After I giggled at realizing that he had presents for me in it, I opened it to find a baby book and the Dr. Seuss book, "Are You My Mother?" which we both grew up having had read to us (and was a personal favorite of mine, as my mom can attest to...she even had the voices to go with it). The reason for the large box was for the third gift, a reflective visor for the windshield of my car since here in Texas your cars can get into temperatures rivaling that of an oven in the summer, which is not condusive putting a baby in without at least trying to take some precautions. Three gifts that I would NEVER have thought to ask for...but that he knew I would love.

The thing I love about Luke is that, even though the gifts were simple, he had thought about each one of them. He's just SO sweet! He's gonna be a good Daddy...and in about a month I will be more than happy to return the favor :) How lucky am I?
