If you know my husband you know that he NEVER EVER lets me open presents early. He gets so mad at me for not keeping his presents a secret (I hate secrets)…when I get gifts for him I just wanna hurry and give it to him! He is the opposite….he’s actually kinda like a child! haha
A few weeks ago he said to me “I’m sooo ahead of the game…I got your mothers day gift ordered and its a HOMERUN!” haha And that was it. I’ve learned not to ask questions or let on like I care because he gets all fired up! So I laughed thinking in my head “is it a homerun for ME or YOU?? and Will I actually see this gift by Mothers Day???” Yosh has been known to have a card with a printed out picture of my gift inside…because he’s usually not organized enough to have the item there on time. Bless his unorganized heart!
BUT a box came for him yesterday….I left it on the table and didn’t dare open it since it MIGHT be my gift. Well after the kids were in bed he opened it up and told me he wanted me to have my mothers day gift…….I was SHOCKED.
This my friends is probably the most thoughtful gift I have ever received. My family blog in book form. And its not just such a special gift because of what it is (well that too) but because of what my husband said to me as he handed it over.
“Babe, you may not know but I read every blog you write. I love them. I love how you have captured our life and our family. You are such an amazing writing and I just love it. I feel like it should be something we have, god forbid if the internet would ever crash someday or something…I want to have these forever…to share with Owen and Ella when they are older…hell, when WE are older”
Yeah that kinda made me wanna cry!! I had a feeling he read most of my blogs…but wasn’t sure. He always gives me such a hard time about blogging…because of the time it takes AND the fact that he hates all social media and thinks its the demise of the world. So you know having our life on the internet isn’t something he was 100% comfortable with. So to hear him say that to me made me feel so good. Made me feel that all the time and effort I put into some of these posts are for a good reason.
I looked over my first year blogging…2010…first post was Feb 5th 2010…2 days after I finished chemotherapy. My writing and pictures have changed so much over the years. My blog template, structure everything has evolved. Its pretty cool to see.
It even has a table of contents….I laugh because that year I didn’t blog as much as I do now. This book is only 100 pages. And that is another reason why Yosh wanted me to open this present early. He wanted to check the quality of the book AND to make sure I liked it before investing the money in making 2011, 2012 and 2013 into books. I wrote more and more every year…so those are bigger more expensive books (my man said he doesn’t care how much they will cost…its worth it….gosh isn’t he so good to me!).
So people I think that actually means I’m published?!?!?! bahahahaha I know I’m kidding. But it is a life dream to maybe someday write a book…I swear my life has been a series of crazy events…just crazy.
But I wanted to share…for all my friends that blog…here is something awesome you can do with it. I’m thinking I’m probably not gonna be doing yearly photo books anymore either…most of those pictures are ones I blog about anyway. So thats kinda nice!
And…Thanks Babe for an amazing Mother’s Day gift…best one yet!
