Yay!!!!!! One of my most favorite days of the year! 27 1/2 years ago, Royce and I met at Yellowstone, we had our first date in the latter part of January and on Groundhogs Day I came home from work and there in my mailbox was my first gift from Roycee, it was a Groundhogs day present! I was so thrilled, it was a placemat with a picture of the Tetons on it. But the thing that knocked my socks off was that it was a present for Groundhogs Day, now who does that? It was just one more thing in the list of things I was starting to find out about this guy that was making me fall head over heels for him. So every Groundhogs Day we celebrate our love, we try to do something special to let each other know how much we love each other. It's been really fun because we even have a special movie we can watch, "Groundhogs Day!" which helps remind us that we need to be true to who we are and to each other. So this is my gift to Royce today, I want to tell the world how much I love him. He is my hero, he has worked so hard during our marriage so that I could stay home and take care of our babies. He is always so patient and kind, and he puts up with my slight insanity. I don't know what I thought my fairytale life would entail, but he is truly my Prince Charming, he has stood by my side through some pretty tough times and he has helped me laugh through sorrow, and stand when I thought I didn't have any more strength. He is my home, my Eternal companion, and I love him more than I can say.
The other day we saw this beautiful Bull Elk out in our field, so I am going to use him for my groundhog, I think you can tell that he didn't see his shadow and there is plenty more winter for this housebound, cabin fevered crazy lady!
