I Love My Wife

For Jen’s first Mother’s day, I wanted something very special. After considering many possibilities, I decided on something simple.

A solitaire pearl pendant to represent our first child, pink because we had girl. I thought this a home run, having plans to build on this gift with future children, you know a pair of matching earrings after we have our second child, etc… Jen must have anticipated my plans - after telling me she loved the gift, she quickly and kindly informed me this was the best and last pearl jewelry she would ever desire.

I wonder how she would feel about a pair of diamond studs?

Happy Mother’s Day

Just before I left on this week long trip to Dallas, I decided to give my wife something to remember me by. I stopped by the local flower store and bought the biggest flowers I could find, two-dozen Gerber Daisies. Now, granted, two-dozen roses may have been a more romantic gesture, but I know how much Jen love’s these particular flowers, and to my shame, I have never bought them for in our six years of marriage.

Giving her the flowers, I instructed her to place the flowers someplace she would see often to be reminded of our love and my longing to be with her.
