I don't really talk about my beloved husband all that often on the blog except when it relates to what I'm knitting for him. He does get mentioned from time to time, but not really in depth. Well, today I thought I'd talk a little more about him and our history together. No dates I'm afraid and I'm not telling you how old he is, but about how we met, in brief.
We met at work, I'd only recently started there and one of the girls was showing me the ropes, we needed to go to another floor for some information and Thomas was the person with the information. She hit him over the head with the bunch of papers she had and I had an immediate "he's cute" reaction. I asked her to set us up on a blind date once I knew he was single and he despite misgivings turned up. Our first evening together was wonderful, he made me laugh (I snorted lemonade through my nose) and we really connected. I knew that night he was the man for me, but I didn't say anything for 2 whole weeks which was really hard. When I did he didn't run which I took as a good sign. We've been together now for 20 years (14 married) come the end of the month and I still love him just as much, it's not as giddy now as it was then, but I can't imagine life without him. Thomas I love you, even when I'm grumpy I still love you.
The day started cold for his birthday, when I came out to the car to go to work this is what I found:

| Boot |
Isn't it beautiful? Freezing cold, but it's amazing what such a simple thing can do to transform a rather beat up car.
Most of today was spent knitting. I got 7 rows done on my shawl, that leaves another 7 plus the cast off to do. I won't get it finished tomorrow as I need to go out and get bread, but once that's done a fair bit should be done. I really want to get it finished before the weekend and then I can concentrate on George's quilt.

This is how the day turned out, reasonably warm (though not short sleeve weather) and sunny!

happy birthday Thomas. Love that story about you snorting lemonade through your nose. A man who can do that to you is a good catch xx
I definitely agree, he still makes me laugh, but I know now not to be drinking lemonade when talking to him.
That frost is really pretty - and what a great love story! Happy Birthday to him!
