Ornament Of The Day

December 13, 1991 - 16 years ago (last week) Corey asked me to marry him. This ornament reminds me of that time in our lives and our first Christmas together... the tiny town that we were from, the little trailer house that we lived in when we first got married, the blue furniture, the pastel dishes, the Skip-Bo games that we played because we didn't have the money to do anything else, the move we made that left us living hours away from everyone that we knew, the Christmas tree that we cut down in the woods of our friends' land that made Charlie Brown's tree look good, the Ramen noodles, the very creative gift giving that we had to do that year, the failed attempt at peanut brittle, the Christmas ornaments and stockings that we bought at the dollar store, the dependance that we learned to have on each other, the comitment to each other than was unimaginable, the love that we shared, the life that we began to build together...

I love you Corey!
