One of the Luckiest Girls Alive!

Okay girls - I've listened to you, been there for you and got excited for you when good things happened to you ... but now ... it's my turn to gush!

So today is Shawn and I's 1 month anniversary (I know - silly - but what fun is life if you can't celebrate the little things?) ... so we have big plans tonight but he wouldn't tell me what they were (since I like surprises).

So around 10 a.m. he visited me at my office and brought me this gift:

I'm sure you're looking at it and going - what in the heck is that? Well in it, was this card:
Like most, I'm sure you can't read it so here is what it says:
Our 1st Month's Grocery List Sarah & Shawn

Bread: so that we never know of hunger
(a loaf of bread was in the bag)

Wine: bringing spirituality and laughter
(my FAVORITE wine was in the bag)

Bowl of Cherries: remembering that this is what life should always be like
(a bowl of cherries was in the bag)



Butter & Jelly: to smooth out any challenges we may face together
(apple butter and jelly (jarred) were in the bag)

Oranges: may our lives grow together more fruitful day by day
(2 oranges were in the bag)

Flowers: so that we never forget our true colors
(a dozen roses were in the bag)

Time: for all the cherishable moments we can will together

Also ... one of my favorite parts is something that is totally me... it was this bag of chips with a note that says "because you're all that too"
And the best part: our surprise date is revealed...

I can't even tell you how excited I am and how LUCKY I feel to be treated so well, surprised so much and cared for by so many... thanks for letting me tell my story. I know it will be continued...
