Anniversary Gifts

Why do couples always buy presents for each other even when you've both decided not to buy presents? It's one of those mysteries of the universe. I decided to get Jake something small and insignificant, but something that would let him know I at least thought of him during the day. I had a hard time coming up with something so I went to the old standby of making him a candy poster. So after standing in the candy aisle for forever and (I'm sure) making the cashier giggle to herself because this fat pregnant lady was buying a basket full of candy, this is what I came up with (you can click on the pic to make it bigger if you want to read what it says).
(We really do sing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to each other, haha)

Well after I had made the poster and I was all giddy and waiting for Jake to get home I got a delivery. Such a cute little bouquet! I have been hinting to no end about an Edible Arrangement while I'm in the hospital after we have the baby so he said he tried to get me one of those but they don't deliver here, stupid company. But I was glad after he showed me the website, those things are so expensive! I couldn't believe it, it's just fruit!!! So the flowers will do just fine, I love them and I'm already trying to think of something to do with the vase after the flowers are gone, it's such a cool vase!
