It was our 20th anniversary and for once I was prepared. I actually started working on this last year so really put some thought into this, not spur of the moment. And for you guys, I don't want to hear that sob story about how I should have told anyone about this because now others will expect great things. So here is how it played out.
One thing my wife really likes are those stuffed bears, all dressed up, hand made you know. We have all these beady little eyes around the house looking at us. She has some favorite bear makers, one in particular. So I called her last year and told her I wanted to commission her for this major event. Told her I wanted a him and her, dressed up and what the occasion was to which she started in. For those who might be interested, here is her web site: http://www.marthasbears.com . Martha does absolutely wonderful work. Well from that beginning there was some fabric picking, all on Martha's part because I don't have an artistic bone in my body. Somewhere in all of that I mentioned that we have two little dogs that live in the house with us and are basically our kids. Well, Martha wanted pictures of them. Later, I saw some more pictures then they were delivered with a alternate return address. They arrived at my house instead of my mother-in-law's who lives on the land out here but that was ok. I just took it up to her and there it stayed until the day of.
That day my parents drove over and picked up her parents with the magical box and went ahead of Maria and I to a place called Christopher's World Grill, a very nice place. For those who are interested, http://www.christophersworldgrille.com . Very nice dining. They arrived there early, set up the bears and pups on the table and then Maria and I arrived.
She was really surprised and we had a wonderful evening.
Thanks to Martha, Christopher and our parents for a wonderful evening.
