I love my Heuer, and I love that he loves to spoil me.
A couple of years ago he bought me a pair of diamond stud earrings that I wore proudly until one fateful July night when I lost one of them in the Flora Grubbs garden during a party. Of course, I didn’t realize it was gone until we got home, at which time it was too late to do anything about it. I am sure it remains today, in its nesting place of a thousand grains of sand/dirt. ::sigh::
Fast forward 17 months – Heuer is away on business when a generic cardboard box is delivered at our door. My first instinct is to open it, but as it has Heuer’s name listed, I thought I would be polite and wait – so I shot him an email and asked him what it was.
I come to learn that inside the box is my Christmas present. And I was told not to look. The box taunts me, sitting unopened, for 24 more hours. Until…
…Heuer calls to let me know there are some other things he ordered that he needs returned. He needs me to log into his account and request a return receipt, however, in doing so – I will see what is in the box [for me] – but since there was no time to waste, he told me to do it and I would simply get my gift early.
I couldn’t get the tape off the box any faster if I tried. [I reenacted the moment for Heuer on Flickr so he could feel he was there]
Inside, a lovely pair of black diamond studs awaiting new lobes. I put them on immediately.
They are not as sparkly as your standard white diamond stud, but I totally dig them as they are completely different than anything I own…and special bonus…they match everything in my closet. 🙂
So thank you to my wonderful husband for my lovely gift. They seem really content attached to my body, and I with them there.
