Way back in August, I made the mistake of mentioning to Darcy that I had an idea for a gift that I wanted to give she and Michael for their anniversary. Now, I say "made the mistake" because she literally didn't let up on me for all these months! I mean, pestering me weekly about it. "Where's my gift?", "What's the hold up on my special surprise?", "Geez, how long does it take to make this damn thing?", "You're a stay at home mom. What's the deal with this thing?". You know ... statements like that. It bordered on torturous. At one point, I made another mistake and randomly sent her a framed photo of my family and she was so excited (thinking her suprise had finally arrived). Well she was quickly brought back to reality when she realized it was "just a framed photo of the Butler's" (her words ... I kid you not). Anyhoo ... long story short. I finally got around to making the dang thing, and I even mailed it to her, so I thought I would show it here. I think she liked it quite a lot. She said she did (I hope she did). And on a side note I should clarify: she never pestered me. :) She waited patiently and I was such a lagger (sorry, Darcy!)Friday, February 27, 2009
Belated Anniversary Gift.

You love to lower our standards of your creativity so that when it arrives....we are like WOW !! this is AWESOME!! You are the best friend and sister anyone could ask for and I love ya.
