My husband leaves for New Orleans tomorrow and will be gone over Valentine's Day. Last night he surprised me with a gift! Now, you have to know my husband; he is not of the mushy nature. One year for Valentine's, while we were attending college, he gave me a small box and a chocolate candy bar. I was so excited about the small box. What could it be? A bracelet? Earrings? I anxiously opened the box and was surprised to find my own copy of Word Perfect Software. I do have to say that I used that gift frequently during those years of college and it was what he thought I really needed! (he was right)

This year a small package arrived via UPS and Todd said that I could open it because it was 'for me.' I was bewildered because I hadn't mentioned that I wanted anything. I cautiously opened the package to find a technical device (shocker!) that looked like an MP3 player. (not something I really cared to own) Todd informed me that it is a hand-held video camera. At first I was like, um, what do I do with that? But then I realized that I will be able to add videos easily to my blog! So, now I am excited about that and I can carry it in my purse to capture all those moments that you wish you had a video camera for...... stay tuned for the coming videos!!! Thank you Nerd!
