Peter started the tradition on our honeymoon. Every anniversary and special event, he has bought me a beautiful Swarovski crystal. I decided, since I just received a new one for the deployment, that I want to show them off since he does a great job at picking them out. Peter, you are so wonderful for doing this. You know how much I look forward to getting one, and they are just beautiful. Love you!
Here is the very first one I received on our honeymoon. He had it in a beautiful box that he brought back from Germany. I think this one means the most to me.
Every anniversary since, I have received crystal flowers. All were a surprise. I never knew what I was getting. Although, I did hint about the orchids. :)
This past anniversary, Peter was deployed. So he worked it out that I would still get my crystal. He was sneaky. Here it is.
These two are for having the girls. The lady bugs one was b/c we were doing ladybugs for Samantha's room. And I know that Peter really liked the bird. Me too!
When we moved from Germany to the states, it was intense. A lot of stress and a little difficult considering we had a 7 month old and a big time change. Peter really surprised me one day, when I walked into the hotel room and this was sitting on the counter.
My most recent one is for the deployment. Now mind you, I have never asked or demanded any of these. Peter is just so thoughtful and likes to show his appreciation. I love it. It's a frog. And he had it signed by the artist. It's etched in with a laser. Very rare. Isn't he the best??
Here they all are in the case. The pictures don't do them justice. They are gorgeous. I guess I am going to need another case though. It's all full!
