This was a picture we had made on our first date. John later added the words around the edge while he was on deployment and e-mailed me a copy to make me smile. Further into that same deployment I got a package delivered to me, that contained this:
This is, I'm positive, is what made Nana fall head over heels in love with John. She had me taking this blanket everywhere to show off to everyone (not that I didn't want to, but she insisted upon it.) Another of my favorite memories would be coming home from a long day at work to find things like these waiting on me:
This lovely little Marine Corps bear has a voice box complete with John's voice. :o)
I truly got lucky when I found John........correction, when John found me. The boy had been after me forever and I just kept turning him down, but eventually, I gave in. I don't know who fell harder for him though; me or Nana. She was terrified that I was going to let him go. She absolutely adored him and he adored her as well. She actually went out and had a shirt made for him that read "Nana loves me most". They two of them together were absolutely hilarious. I suppose that's another story for another night though. Good night, world. Tomorrow is fast approaching and I'd like to squeeze in a few hours of sleep.
