This is it! Lushie’s big present! She said that since today is my last full day at work I need something to pick up my spirits and go out in style. For years I’ve said that I wanted to get my own jersey and never have. Something always came up and I’d blow it off. Apparently she’s had this planned since the season started and it’s been killing her not to say anything.

Now to explain the jersey. 22 is the number I usually wear in sports and it’s also the date in October when we got married. I guess you can also say it’s Groundhog Day with 2/2.  Spoon is a nickname I was given in college by Griff (long story if you don’t know it) and always stuck as even my family calls me that more than my real name. The “C”, Lushie tells me, is because I’m the captain of our family and when Jackson arrives he can be my little “A”.

I’m not taking this off until Lushie rips it from me!

cheers!

      Very nice, you got a good wife, just make sure you do something nice for her after the baby is born.

      This easily earns Lushie a nod for a wife-of-the-year nomination, and it’s only February.

      Is it ok that I got tears in my eyes? How damned sweet was that? You better come up with something fab when Jackson makes his appearance!
