Today is a very special day...it's our 3 year anniversary!! And the gift for 3 years, Leather. I could work with that. First year was paper, and for Jeff I got him tickets to Dane Cook and he gave me a spa gift certificate to Eveline Charles (the gift card was plastic, but he argued that the spa menu was on paper and it came in a paper envelope). Second year was cotton. We went to the Keg, where the napkins are cotton. Actually, we didn't buy each other gifts, we bought something for our little one on the way, a blanket. This year, it's Leather. In a not-so-subtle way, my wonderful hubby asked me what my shoe size is. Hmm, could I be getting a pair of boots that I have been lusting over? A few weeks ago, we were laughing about the different options, ahem, for leather gifts. However, boots are far more appealing to me! Now to think of what to get the hubby...a leather gun strap? Maybe. A nice belt? Nah. Or how about the chance to go hunting this weekend...that's pretty creative right?! While it's not exactly the type of gift I can wrap up and tie ribbon around (coordinating ribbon that I would curl to make it look extra snazzy), but it's a gift that I know he'll love just the same. Plus, I'm sure it ties in with the whole Leather theme somehow.
We will celebrate by taking Presley to her first swimming lesson and having leftovers for supper. Friday will act as our pseudo-anniversary, with a romantic dinner at Normands.
So here we are, giving 'romantic' gifts such as boots and hunting trips. Eating left overs and sitting in our sweats. Not the stuff romance novels are based off of. But's it's what our very own love story is all about, and that's just fine by me!
