So I have a tendency to be kinda selfish. I like to spend money on things like motorcycles, cars, trucks, video games, movies, tv's etc etc. Im sure since Ive been married I have spent well over 20k or 30k on stuff I wanted. My wife still gets everything she wants, the only diff is, she doesn't usually want much. Well I have been saving and putting together some money to get a second motorcycle. I have been really wanting a supermoto.
About a month ago I read something that has really been making me think. " Where you invest your time and money is where your heart is."
So I have decided to invest my time and money in my wife and son. I went to our jeweler Panowitz in Olympia and with some help from Susan (who is awesome) I put together a diamond necklace, and in the center of the pendant is Etham's birthstone, a blue tourmaline.
Honestly, I feel really good about spending a couple G's on my wife instead of myself...although I still want that bike lol. She is more beautiful than ever.....I think that quote is true.....
Well I got home Friday from picking up the necklace and my valentines gift was waiting for me on the on the kitchen table. So I just gave her the nicely wrapped box. It was wrapped in a dark brown paper with a purple bow. The first thing she said is...."You didn't wrap this" I was like how do you know that? She said because it has a bow and the tape is on the inside. Made me laugh, cause I am a pretty horrible gift wrapper. Then the jewelry box had a Panowitz sticker on it and she got a big smile. She was very excited, even got watery eyes. Then her next question was how much...I love my wife, but she can be too practical sometimes. I told her that I spent my bike money on it. She really loves it, I don't think she has taken it off. Valentines day we went to dinner at Anthonys in Olympia and had a very nice dinner. All in all it was a great Valentines.
