You Will Find Happiness

My baby leaves in less than two weeks to be with his one true love (I'll give you a hint: it's big and blue, makes me puke, and makes Matt cuss). I took the week off of work to get Matt good and sick of me before he leaves for four months with minimal communication. We have had a wonderful time being with family, friends, and each other (and Jake). Because he is going to miss Christmas and my birthday we exchanged gifts a little early...

Before Matt came home the last time, he sent me flowers to work. I told him my favorite flower was Lily of the Valley and so he sent me a potted bulb. Everyone at work sort of gave me a confused smile because it was not exactly a beautiful bouquet but it meant a lot to me. I was reading about the flower and found that it means "You Will Find Happiness" which I have, in Matt. When it finally bloomed, it turned out to be a pretty purple lily, not exactly what he paid for, but still so sweet.

Being the keen and perceptive man that he is, Matt found out who my favorite jewelry artists is and bought me a pair of earrings for my birthday.
I didn't know that he made this collection and Matt had them special ordered for me. They were under the "Bridal" collection. Psht, like I even thought of clicking there. Dum dum da dum.

Anyway, they are beautiful and more beautiful than that is how happy he makes me.
