December 3 is a special day around here. Why? Well, on December 3, 2005, the husband FINALLY
popped the question. I was pretty much sick and tired of the diamond commercials on TV and ready for him to ask already! Without recounting all of the details (most are in the linked post), he brought me to a Christmas tree farm (I was so sure it was THE DAY and got decked out in preparation), humored me by stopping by Pier One and then helped decorate the tree. And nada. So Pouty McPouterson changed into pajamas and started Christmas shopping online, at which point he invited me to the porch and asked THE QUESTION. Although he never really asked, which is a story for another day.

Part of the reason he chose that day and centered it around buying a Christmas tree is because he knows my absolute love of Christmas AND he thought it'd be fun to one day be able to share the tradition with children. It absolutely blows my mind that 6 wonderful years later (to the exact day), we were decorating a tree with the help of a precious 10 month old. It was totally awe inspiring to actually see the husband's vision become a reality.
So thankful to have our little man here with us! Here's to celebrating another 50 December 3rds!
