Good tears

Today is my/our 20th Wedding Anniversary, it is truly hard to believe it has been 20 years!  When I used to hear people say 'the older you get the faster time flys!', I use to laugh at them !  But the older I get (41 years so far), the more I realise that this statement does seem so right!!  I also think once you have kids the years seem to disappear-maybe the fact you are so busy with them, work and life they do evaporate before you know it.
And if you are wondering what that beautiful cake mixer is that is my pressie from hubby this morning, I have been looking for a while but only looking.  I did wonder this morning what was in the huge box.  A secret trip to town while I was at KHS for the day !  I also got a beautiful card with all the right words in it, (I am so a card person-little does he know I have kept every card he has ever given me-sentimental fool -am I), but this is not what brought me to tears, feeling very spoilt with my pressie he told me to close my eyes and gave me a little box...................you see, he is the practical one (hence the cake mixer) and I am the sentimental one,

 but in this box is the most gorgeous 18ct gold ring with 5 diamonds.  Good tears, did begin to flow!  We have often joked over the years about my budget engagement ring-which by the way I love and would never part with, but we where just 2 fools in love who had no money but wanted to spend the rest of our lives together and brought what we could afford and I love it , but Mike always wished he could have afforded something better.  So what better way than to buy me a ring he had always wanted too for our 20th anniversary.
This is a good day here in the naki so I hope you have a great day also, Michelle
