Happy Valentine's Day

Last week, Greg and I agreed that we wouldn't buy gifts this Valentine's Day. We would only exchange cards.

We considered making dinner reservations, but I didn't want to do that. The restaurants are packed for Valentine's Day, the service is slow and the food generally isn't that good because the chefs are in a rush. Instead, we opted to go out to eat on Sunday, the night before Valentine's Day. We had a lovely meal...

Then, we come home and Greg hands me a card. I said, "But it's not Valentine's Day. I'll wait to open this until tomorrow." I turned to put the envelope on my desk and I heard Greg say.... "Guess you shouldn't open this until tomorrow either."

OMG. A small blue velvet box! Go ahead and ask, did I open it....

OH YES! I love it! Greg said that he ordered it many months ago. It is hand made from a jeweler that he knows. Greg went back and forth with the design until they created something Greg was happy with. My husband has wonderful taste!

The jeweler called Greg to ask him if he wanted to see how they poured the gold, Greg wasn't far from the store... so Greg was able to see the initials pendant being created - from design to the gold being poured - how cool is that?!

I love it, love it! It's beautiful, decorative but not overly so and it's precious as Greg designed it. And I think it's so neat that it's handmade (the scrolls are all done by hand as well)

Thank you, My Love!
