So Grateful

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my husband for our upcoming anniversary.  I may not always tell him but I am extremely grateful for everything he does for us and that he is MY husband! 

I also have a short story to share.  I may or may have not written before that I had a stroke seven years ago.  I have mostly recovered except for a few minor issues that I still struggle with.  Early in the days of my recovery I had huge problems processing large amounts of stimuli, so imagine what it was like when we went grocery shopping at WalMart!  We had checked out and were on the way to the car when hubby remembered that he had forgotten something and said that we had to go back into the store.  I told him he should go ahead by himself while I took the cart to the car and loaded the groceries.  I made my way there but when I got there and opened the trunk I literally could not remember how to take the groceries from the cart and put them in the car!  I was so overwhelmed that I just stood by the car and cried.  When he saw me standing there he ran across the parking lot and just hugged me, telling me that everything was okay and helped me into the car.  Now, when he doesn't pick up his socks or remember to take out the trash  I just remember that moment, and all is forgiven!
For him, it's also true that the way to his heart is through his stomach, and  I often make special little treats for him.  I found this adorable little treat at Family Fun magazine. 

Acorns made from doughnut holes - how cute is that?  And bonus, they just happen to match the card I made him!  I'm sure that little fact will be lost on him, but I'll know.

I have one final photo to show off the card (I liked it so much I made an extra one) and the acorns using the Warmer Vintage photo effect that I got from Maggie Holmes Photography.  So much fun!

Thanks for looking, and God Bless!
