Saturday was my 2 yr anniversary sober and Sunday 10 months since I  quit smoking... So I was strut'n around all proud of myself singing my own praise's in my head because I knew none of the family would remember my big dates..and everything was going great, ... Saturday I went over to the folks house and finished the wishing well me and Poppy built for mom (that he wanted painted John Deer yellow and green :rolleyes: - so thats what  I did ), .. then came home and stared back on the sketches I've been working on for a mini house I want to try my hand at building..and just general puttering around the house.

 

Sunday mornin' I got up and there was a wrapped pkg on the table where I was working on my plans for the 'house'.. I looked at it and poked at it thinking hb must have forgotten to give a present out this xmas... so hb gets up not long after, gets his coffee and says " open your gift, I'm not bringing it to you"... I thought   'yay!  I'm the one he forgot to give the present to - boy am I NOT  gonna let him live this down anytime soon!!  :laugh2:

 

I open it - and it's a scroll saw!!!

 

 He put his coffee down - put his arms around me and said  "I saw on the calendar  that yesterday marked your 2 yrs sober, and today is 10 mo not smoking,  I want you to know- even tho I probably don't say it enough, I  I AM proud of you,  I thought you could use this saw for your latest project".....  I was crying by this point... he wiped away my tears with those rough hands of his and said "  I really am proud of you baby, come on now, stop your crying - let me show you how to use this" ... and he did,. and I'll have y'all know I still have all my fingers!!  LOL (I'm right proud of that :P)

 

So, if you don't see me around for a bit it's because I'm make'n sawdust - in an attempt to make runners for the staircase that will go in the entry hall of my 'house'

 

 

Hugs, lov  and cookies  all 'round!!  :D

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
