The Little Things in Marriage

For those who may have difficulty reading my handwriting, I’ve transcribed below the photo of my journal entry this evening…

December 1, 2025
I have decided to do a 31-day consecutive journaling project called the December Gratitude Challenge. This is Day One…

Today I am thankful for my husband, Erich, who surprised me with the Bonne Maman advent calendar. I’ve wanted to get it for a few years now, but it’s always been sold out by the time I’ve gotten my act together to purchase. Out of the blue tonight, he handed me a plain cardboard box, and inside was a foldout calendar with all of the little individual boxes of cute little jars. I can’t wait to try them! He is so good to me - I am so lucky to have him as my husband, soul mate, and savior of the world from myself.

Looking forward to exploring this challenge every evening.
