The Dog House -

This is a very clever ad! See it here. Click on "See what life is like in the doghouse."

I must say that it reminded me of the time my husband got me a kitchen faucet for my birthday! Thankfully, neither one of has "gifts" at the top of our love languages, and I wasn’t hurt by his totally unromantic present. I’m definitely not much of a jewelry person (which he’s probably happy about!).

Here is an example of the kind of "gift" I do like to receive. Last weekend we had a date in Chicago. We ate at a great Mexican restaurant and went to Candlelight Carols, a Christmas concert put on by the musical groups of Moody Bible Institute at the Moody Church. I was expecting to be standing in the lobby with my 2-month-old during the whole concert, but we were in the balcony, which allowed me a place to stand in the very back where I could still see and hear everything!
