a sweet little note

When Mark is away, I love to send him cards. Just little reminders that I'm thinking of him, missing him and wishing he was here with me. I have a good collection to choose from - big ones, small ones, sweet ones, funny ones - but my favorites are always from Papyrus.

They are cute, creative and always come with a matching envelope liner. It's the little things that make a difference, don't you think?

Thankfully, Papyrus cards are readily available at my Target, so whenever I'm there, I swing by the card section and see if there's anything special.

It's been so nice to have Mark back in town {he even finally met some of the girls from my team}, and a bit of an adjustment, as well. But nothing beats coming home to his smiling face after a long day.

He's the night owl to my early bird and since he goes to bed later than I do, he had the chance to sneak a sweet note into my lunch tote.

He's taking his mom, aunt and cousin away for a two-day trip up north, where they plan on hitting all the hot spots : Flagstaff, Sedona and, of course, the Grand Canyon; so I get to hold down the fort for a few hours before his dad flies in for a holiday visit.

An early Christmas present from my wonderful fiance. I've never been so excited to do laundry.
