This morning, I got a big chunk of my Christmas shopping done with Susanne and Denise, and then I came home to this:

My dreamy, dreamy Mann sent me these flowers for our 17th anniversary.  That card came with the flowers, but I'm not going to share what it said because it is not appropriate for all audiences.

I had no idea what a great man I was marrying 17 years ago.  I just thought he was cool and cute and funny and awesome to talk to.  After 17 years, I can't imagine my life without him, and I am grateful every day to have such a quality man in my life.
