270 Gifts!

This Christmas for David and I of course is some what bittersweet. We loved having the time together, but it aslo reminded us that he leaves soon. I am sooo blessed, David is so very precious and thoughtful. He really put a lot of time and thought in to his gift this year.

So Christmas morning came and I found a very oddly shaped gift. I opened it and it was a basket filled with envelopes. 270 to be exact. Each envelope represents a day he and I will be apart (from when he actually steps foot in Kuwait. So they work as a countdown to him being home. 

He called it; "270 things I love about You" 

Each envelope has 1 thing he loves about me, a note from him, and either a devotional or scripture or funny cartoon and also told me a few of the envelopes have gift cards to some of my favorite places. 

He enclosed a puzzle piece in each envelope as well. The puzzle is a picture of our favorite photo together. So each day I will get a puzzle piece and over the year I will be able to piece it all togther. The last piece is hidden in the house and we will put the last piece in when he gets home. This gift brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my arms! How precious and thoughtful. He told me he had been working on this gift for the past 6 months.

I am so thankful for David and the way he loves me! I truly can't imagine a better man for me. God's love for me is overwhelming and I still can't believe that he chose me for David!!

Signing off!
