OK, can I just take a moment away from puppies to brag about my wonderful husband? Last night, we went out to dinner and, out of the blue, he comes up with a gorgeous little gift bag, with a little foil-wrapped package containing a glossy little white box, enclosing a splendid red jewel case and this:

Squeeee! Ain't it purdy? I love getting surprise jewelry! And I never saw this one coming at all! Scott decided that, since he had been out of town on Valentine's Day, he wanted to celebrate last night and picked up this blue topaz necklace at his favorite jewelers on the way home from work.
Holy Moly Guacamole(y)! I am feeling like I am in that dream where my husband (or any boy, for that matter) actually gets it! Scott, honey, H.O.T.Y. Award to you! See, it's not so hard to make me happy! :-P
