Congratulations!

We had a special celebration Friday night: our daughter-in-love graduated from Old Dominion!  We are SO proud of her!!!!  She has worked long and hard to accomplish her goal, working at least part time all the way through.  She served in the US Navy for four years so she was able to take advantage of the GI bill for part of her expenses.
  We surprised her at dinner with a "Happy Graduation" cake & a gift.  She had mentioned a while back that she'd like to have a new watch, and since my hubby LOVES watches, whether to give or receive, I put that ball in his court & he ran with it.
 It turns out that she had told her husband that she'd like to have a new watch, & told him that to her the giving of a watch meant that "he loved her & would stay with her forever."  It's interesting how we all put significance to certain gifts, & I'd never heard this one before.  But after she opened it (& loved it), I said, "We love you & will never leave you."

Here's our gal wearing her new watch...
