You might be wondering why I would put a picture of tulips on my blog. Well, let's just say it is a manifestation of Love Language #3: Receiving Gifts. If you have read the book The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman--you know what I'm talking about (if you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.)
On Friday night, after a long week of car window painting, Andrews Sisters practicing and singing, scouting, dinner making and taking, playground sets together putting, swimming, etc.--I announced to Brett that my LOVE TANK WAS EMPTY! My number 1 love language is Quality Time which I think sometimes is the hardest one for Brett to give me, because we are sooooo busy. He decided that on Saturday, he would do one thing from each of the love languages to help fill my love tank again. I will spare you the cheesy details of the other acts of love, but STILL I thought it was very sweet of him. Well, here we are on Tuesday morning and my love tank is empty again. Oh well :-)

LOVE this book. we've taken the quiz and mine is words of affirmation-although it would probably be "gifts" if i wasn't so cheap and worried about how much money he was spending on my gifts!! it is my #2 though!!
and now because of you i'm going to buy the book instead of just checking it out from the library, thanks for reminding me who's important!!
Ummmmm...I'm buying that book tomorrow. My Love Tank needs some fillin' up! Maybe I'll give it to Damon for his birthday tomorrow! Ahhh HA!
I haven't read the book, but I've listened to a set of cd's by John Lund called For All Eternity. It also goes over love languages and many other things. I loved it! It really helps you understand eachother better. I like to recieve love equally with verbal/touch, lots of hugs always helps me. So give yourself a big hug from me and know that I have always admired the woman and mother that you are. You are amazing and we miss you guys so much. Even though you may need your love bucket filled by Brett, there's my try to help you get by a little while longer. You are so great!!
Love-Steph
How sweet of Brett! I love when husbands do stuff like that! I'm going to have to read that book.
Good to hear from you!

Awwwww, what a sweetie! I was going to tell him to call Dustin and give him some tips -- but he just announced that he was going to B&N to pick up his number for the release of Breaking Dawn --just for me!
Those are beautiful....isn't it amazing how such a simple thing can totally brighten our day? I love getting flowers!
The rest of us guys will always being hiding in Papa Gustaveson's perfect-husband shadow.
That is a good one - to explain the LOVE TANK IS EMPTY!! I will have to remember that phrase - it is definitely a good way to put it!
