I'm happy to report that last night my H chose to take me on the 'tacky Christmas light tour' instead of his usual Wed. night AA meeting (which for him is a big deal) we even sat up late chit chatting, then went to our room, ML and held each other close. THEN, this morning, he handed me a jewelry box....and NO it wasn't the dreaded annual earings..... .... It was a NEW wedding band...FOR HIM
