*sigh*  Where has the time gone?  Hubby and I will be married for 15 years on April 4th.  There's this supposed etiquette associated with anniversary gifts.  For example, for the first anniversary, the couple is supposed to gift each other with a paper product, on the second, it's cotton, the third, it's leather, etc.  I don't think it's widely adhered to, but it is something that's out there.  Also, there's a list of flowers and gemstones for each anniversary, too.  Who knew!?

Well, needless to say, we never did that.  So, I decided that for this anniversary I'm gonna make up for it.  For each day of the fifteen days until our anniversary date, I'm gifting hubby with something representative of the etiquette list, and I'm sharing it with you all here on homeschoolblogger.  Maybe you'll be inspired for your own up-coming anniversary to do something similar, or maybe you'll use it to pass along at a friend's wedding or something.  May you be blessed! ~Christi

Day One (representative of Year One)

Traditional:	paper
Contemporary:	clock
Flower:	pansy/carnation
Gemstone:	pearl

Knowing that my hubby is a comic geek (and I say that lovingly) and his fave super hero of all-time is Spider-Man, I got him paper plates, napkins, and cups in Spidey theme for dinner that night (Friday).  Also, I gave him a small spiral-bound notebook to stick in the pocket of his Bible; it's Spidey, too.  And on the table: a single red carnation.
