The rewards of doing for others

Today was a pretty decent day. I went bowling for the first time in over 2 years. I got to spend some time with a couple of sweet gals, and their kiddos. Today was also the anniversary of one of the couples in my husband's company. Due to deployment there are a lot of holidays, milestones, and other special occasions that our men miss out on. In light of keeping spirits high, and smiles bright, i decided to have a cute little celebration for this wife, and her husband in his absence. They are HUGE patriot fans, and they were married on the day of the Superbowl  i believe. So i got her this:

                                           

                              

Seeing how appreciative she was, and grateful. Made my heart just warm right up. I always get more, from giving to other people, than i could ever get from receiving. I happened to have bowled my BEST game in my entire life, and ironically it occurs while my husband is gone.  & i forgot how fond i was of bowling shoes:

But none the less it was still a blast. We hit another milestone with the start of February. Another month of deployment DOWN. Yes, i have no complaints today.
