Ding Dong - Fed Ex Calling

I have been having a pretty crappy day so when the Fed Ex person came to the door I was curious, as I was not expecting any packages today. Imagine my surprise when I saw this box at the door.


I remember Matt telling me that some people at work were having items shipped to our house for us to bring to Japan in our sea shipment. But I was trying to figure how anything from Pro Flowers could be sent in our sea carton. I debated opening it, especially since the package was addressed to Matt. But as I tore into the box I saw this:


I then opened the flap to reveal this card:

Now first let me say that I feel pretty crappy as last night/this morning I kind of had an irrational argument with my husband. (Irrational on my part) And since they were sent via Fed Ex and Pro Flowers I know this wasn't a gift because of my irrational argument. So here he had done this nice thing and I was off yelling at him about things that he had no control over.

I can't remember Matt ever having flowers delivered to me in all of our almost 15 years of being together. Sure he has given me flowers or brought them home, but delivered? Never. Makes me miss him all that much more. Only 29 more days until he makes it home for Christmas.

Aren't they beautiful? Two dozen roses.

Konnichi wa!

And Matt is back from Japan... thank goodness. Between the start of school, flying back for my Aunt's funeral, sports practices, meetings and everything else this was a rough time for him to be gone. Usually I am okay with the traveling but this trip was just mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. And he must have known that because he brought back some very cool gifts.

Isn't this little guy cute? It is solar powered and he moves his head back and forth as long as he is in some sort of light. Sam loves it!

I just love the packaging in Japan. Inside these are a fan and Japanese shirt for Emily.

Chris got an origami set and some mind teaser game. Of course Matt has tried to beat it not giving Chris much of a chance to figure it out.

My gift was the best. Of course I got chocolates.
It is just a known fact that Matt is to bring me back chocolate from where ever he is. I am afraid that someday he will bring me chocolate covered bugs or something.

After the chocolates he handed me a bag with this pretty box.

And inside the box was this pretty box.

And inside that was this:

I have no idea what the certificate that came with it says. Matt said he wanted to do something nice because he knew what a tough few weeks I have had. Just when I think of trading him in for a new model (just joking people) he does something as sweet as this. Guess I will keep him around after all.
