The Preggie's Best Friend

John and I recently picked up the Love Dare (again).  We started it several years ago when our pastor did a sermon series on it.  The last time, we made it to day 3{. . .she laughs nervously.}  We are determined to finish it this time.  And, I'm happy to say that we're well past day 3!  But, I must say, if I had to pick any day to do repeatedly, it would be day 3 - surprise your spouse with a gift.  Suh-weet!  Look what my brilliant husband picked for me:

How can something so sinfully good be so heavenly??  (And, yes, I totally opened it and ate about 4 of them before I managed to find the camera!  John told me later that these candies are actually not that bad for you because you can eat 5 of them before you get to 200 calories.  My response:  "Sweet!  That means I've only had like 1200 calories worth of chocolate today!"  You know, 'cuz Carys needs chocolate. . .yeah, that's it!)

Our gifts turned out to have almost a Gift of the Magi type effect.  I had bought John a new pair of jeans because he rarely gets any new clothes for himself.  And, I know he liked them, but he wasn't nearly as excited about his gift as I was about mine.  He told me later that he felt a little guilty because he didn't spend as much on my gift as I did on his.  (What, are you crazy??!! It's Dove chocolate!!)  Hah!  I guess that's why they say it's the thought that counts!
