Bragging about my DH...again!

So right in the middle of this mess we have going on, actually it was the weekend it all started, was DH and my 2nd anniversary.  We didn't get to celebrate at all, and have plans to do something after the holidays.  He has started running, so I had bought him a Nano to play music on while he ran.  He loved it.  But I wanted to share what he got me, because I couldn't help but laugh and laugh after it sunk in how much effort he put into it.

I've told the story of how the word "Velcro" came to be for us.  Also, my favorite animal is a penguin, and our second date, he took me to an aquarium to see them.  We also joke all the time that we are each other's penguin, a.k.a. soulmates.  So he buys me things with penguins on them quite often.  Ornaments, jewelry, cute little things...

We bought a motorcycle back in July and have enjoyed it so much.  We would take off on Saturdays and just ride all day.  We have been asked a few times to join local biker groups and we have turned them down because we just enjoy going on our own.  So another joke between us has been that we are our own biker gang.

Bless his heart.  He apparently worked for over two months designing a patch to put on the back of our jackets (like biker gangs do).  He had to send the artwork (with a picture of our bike and the penguins he wanted) all the way to Poland to make me this gift and was so excited about it.  With this gift he said, "We are officially a gang of two!"  So here's the best pic I have, which is the artwork that the people in Poland sent him to verify this is what he wanted.  The final product looks even better and is 12 X 12 to fit the back of our jackets, but you will giggle.



As I tell Luise all the time until she groans....have I said how thoughtful and wonderful my DH is?  (Just for you Luise!)

Oh Pooh....how nice of him.  You did something very right that he loves you so much, besides the fact that he is a great guy. 

Keep enjoying.
