"I must have done something good!"

You know the movie, The Sound of Music...the scene where Maria and the Captain are singing in the gaezbo, realizing that they love each other and she sings, " I must have done something good."  Well that was me about two weeks ago. Not singing of course, but thinking it...I was sick and lying in bed on a Saturday afternoon.  Matt came back from the mall. He went there to get a Hockey Game for the PlayStation. He came home without one but with a ring...a ring for me!!!

It was a ring that we looked at just before Christmas. Matt had found it first and wanted me too see it.  I told him NO but shook my head YES. But really I meant NO! If you read my blog before you know that we are slightly backwards....kids first, living together and then marriage(about 2 1/2 kids in). So when we decided to FINALLY get married(phew), money was tight...and as one knows, to plan some kind of wedding is expensive, then add kids in...well it can be VERY tight....so with a budget, I chose my wedding rings, the band was and is quite small...like a key chain loop....but I like it!! I guess like it to the point where we discussed getting a new one...but I was holding out for the 10 year anniversary.

While walking through the mall, we glanced at rings and chose some....just for fun.....talking about "what if, one day". And that day came...while lying in bed, coughing and sniffling...he sat down beside me, all smiles and that glint in his eyes, like he had done something...something proud and was happy and couldn't wait to tell me. He then handed me the BOX...I was shocked, happy, slightly mad(since it cost a few dollars), but OVERALL excited.

So... I guess "I must have done something good" to receive such a lovely gift......and I am thankful and blessed that I have such a WONDERFUL man!! As I look at my hand, it is a daily reminder of how much he loves me, its the ring that he chose!

Hmmm...which has me thinking now...whats going to happen on Valentines Day!?
Dont worry Matt...no pressure!!
