So, my wedding anniversary is coming up. I usually suck at gifts, but I got it covered this year! I have a friend who's living in Bahrain right now, getting a beautiful jewelry box made, with my wife's name and our Anniv. date inlaid in Arabic.
I've already told work I won't be there that day (the beauty of government work)! I'm going to disappear for a few hours in the morning, until she goes to work. Come back home, throw on a suit, grab some lunch and flower then head to her work during her lunch.

    Just remember, if you set the bar high now, what will you do on your 25th anniversary?

    That's mighty nice, Boots! What made you decide on Arabic? Your wife like the language, or just because that's what Bahrain speaks/writes?

    I've spent 3+ years in "Arabic Countries, due to work" if you will. So, the premise behind it has a lot of meaning around the house.

    That's really nice and the hand touches will go a long way; it's definitely a special and personalized gift. I can see it being passed down in the family.
