I was going to title this post "I laughed", but after looking outside I decided to change it. Yep, full on snowing. on nov. 7th.
Well, I really did laugh. Last night that is. We went out to Olive Garden and right around the 4:00pm hour I was secretly wishing that Jim would take the kids out to dinner and put them all to bed so that I be in dreamland myself. I was just so tired. Ahh, but I would have missed out on the wonderful celebration. We spent 2hrs. at a restaurant! That is a Gunn record for sure. And the kids were so well behaved, I was so proud of them. I opened up presents and I received the most wonderful present from my little family. An actual certificate of appreciation, signed and everything by each child. It was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Here is what it said...
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION
This certificate is awarded to Carol L. Gunn in recognition of valuable contributions to our household, as a mother and wife.
And then signitures follow.
What more could you ask for?

ReplyDeleteThat is the best present ever. I still have some of the homemade coupons, certificate, awards you all made for me, and I run across them from time to time and they warm my heart. Such a sweet gift. I bet Matthew was so anxious for you to open your gift.
