Ode to Russell

SO, Russell and I normally don't exchange gifts on Valentines Day. I don't know why really, we just stopped after a while. After this Valentines day, gifts are definitely reinstated. Hahaha.

Rhyen and I woke up to two red gift bags on Valentines Day morning. Rhyen's bag contained chocolate, sweet tarts, suckers, bubble gum (only dad would buy gum for a 2 year old) and was accompanied by a large, pink, fuzzy bear. She had no idea what was going on. She just knew there was candy and a baby (that is her term of endearment for all things cuddly).

Now to my bag, oh my goodness, my husband did good. My bag contained chocolate as well, and then a book shaped present. I opened it to find a paperback book with our pictures on the front. The book is entitled, "Awake, My Love," and is compiled of short love stories with Russell and I as the main characters. The book describes us by name, by our physical features, and by our habits. So neat! So, Russell gets many, many points for this because it was definitely a premeditated effort. He said he wanted to get it for me because of this ridiculous series of love books I was "irrevocably in love" with (you may have heard of it: Twilight-Ya I know... please don't judge). Russell thought it would be cool to read love stories and be able to attribute REAL LIFE love. He is so cute. The next box was more rectangular and I had no idea what it would contain. I slowly pulled back the tissue paper, and there on the box, its contents were revealed... it was a white, 3G, 16 GB, iPhone. Hahaha. "What the heck am I gonna do with an iPhone?! Hahaha." Russell said, "Well don't open it if you wanna take it back." Hahaha. We both cracked up. And I did not return it. 

I had to blog about my hubby because he did a great job surprising me. I loved the gifts. Rhyen is still enjoying hers (I have to hide the candy and ration it out). So, great job love. Hahaha. You did awesome.
