Five

"Oh, the comfort-the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. Having neither to weigh thoughts, Nor measure words--but pouring them All right out--just as they are--Chaff and grain together--Certain that a faithful hand will Take and sift them--Keep what is worth keeping--And with the breath of kindness Blow the rest away."
-Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (saw this on Speaking Spiritually Blog yesterday)

3 years of love!

Yesterday we celebrated our 3 year together! I prepared clam chowder and lobster!!! While I was preparing dinner a delivery came- a beautiful bouquet of flowers! What a sweet hubby!!!
At first when I had told Giovanni that I wanted to make lobster and explained that they had to be alive then we put them in boiling water for 10 min- he was really concerned about them! Although when it came time to put them in the water he was excited to see how it would all turn out- he also understood why there is the saying "you look red like a lobster!!" When we sat down to eat at our candle adorned table I spied this little teal bag- Tiffany & Co. What a surprise! The bouquet of colorful flowers was enough- but my thoughtful husband had more in store for me! A delicate, silver heart necklace!
The fun did not end there- we spent the next hour or so decorating gingerbread houses and listening to Christmas music! It was a great day!
I love you sweet Giovanni! Thank you for your love and support! I love your enthusiasm and joy over the smallest things! You have a natural ability to make friends with anyone and put others at ease. I am grateful for the struggles we have been through and look forward to the adventures that lie ahead! TI AMO GIO MIO!!!
