Lineman and I recently celebrated our 16th anniversary. I had picked up a nice western shirt for him when he called me and said, “we’re not doing anything for our anniversary are we, let’s not”. So, I hung that shirt in the closet so at least he would still have something new to wear, even if it wasn’t a gift.
He came home from work and we were visiting when he says “hey hon, can you go grab my slippers for me?” So I head to our bedroom when what should I see on our dresser but this….
He gave me a nice little card that sang “Just to see you smile” by Tim McGraw.
Yes, his little surprise gift made me smile. I’ll tell you what else makes me smile. When he laughs, when he plays with the kids, when he laughs, when he smiles, when he laughs, when he is ornery to waitresses, when he laughs. Oh, his laugh is infectious, medicine for my soul, I could never get enough of it!
The laptop is pretty great, it has Windows 7 and so far I’m loving it. I hadn’t realized just how old and slow my desktop was.
And in other news… right now it’s minus 15 feels like minus 29. Phew, this Global Warming is tough to take!

Your husband is awesome!
awww...how sweet is this. When I read your title I thought 2 things: 1. Tim McGraw 2. This post will be about Lineman
You do have a wonderful husband...and he has a wonderful wife. You two are great together - and a great example of what true love should be. Reading this made me think about the Alan Jackson song - "Once In A Lifetime Love". It's on his Drive CD. You should check it out if you don't already know it.
Leave it to Carrie to read my small mind--at least you know better!! YOu know its pretty well blank most of the time!!

What a great surprise!! I'm smiling with you! :) I don't know your man, but you do have a way of telling us he's a keeper! Congrats on 16 years. (Hope he liked the shirt!)
Happy Anniversary! Last December my hubby gave me a new laptop for our anniversary. I guess there are two out there who think alike. The family gave him a lot of teasing about how unromantic it was... he explained he got the flamingo pink one so it would be "bling."
A few years back, a year when he had been out of work. He pulled that lets not get any gifts for Christmas. Then filled my stocking with lovely things. Last year he tried that again. I didn't fall for it this time!
Glad to hear you had a nice anniversary and that you are enjoying your new laptop. I, for one, am blessed by your loving relationship and the happy family you are raising.
