A Present For Me!

When I got to church today I found a present for me. Whoopee! It was from my secret sister. I won't find out until January who is my secret sister. The gift was for our anniversary. Here is a picture of what I found inside the gift bag.

Inside was an assortment of chocolates. Yummy! All of which I had never tried before with the exception of the Ghirardelli Square chocolate. I promise I will not eat it all in one sitting. Besides I would probably get an upset stomach if I do. Instead I will enjoy it bit by bit and make it last several days. And yes I will probably share some with my hubby since it is good chocolate. He has a tendency to break out with the cheap chocolates.
This is the card that came with the gift. We thought it was hilarious. I had to share it with you. I know the flash shows in the picture above, but I managed to get one without the flash making it hard to read in the bottom one which shows what it says inside the card. The question marks are because I am not supposed to know who it is from. And truly I don't know who it is from. I don't have a clue this time.
So it was a good day. We will treat ourselves to dinner out later in the week. Need to wait until my payday. It was nice to be remembered. My parents gave us a card today too.

Joys for today----

A gift from secret sister---

A chance to visit with my parents---

Noticing more fall colors---

Worshiping at church and seeing friends there---

What are your joys?

I'm glad that your secret sister gave you an anniversary present. I unfortunately didn't get time to work on my gift for you guys. So you might be getting it a little late. :( But I hope that you will like it. Happy Anniversary!
