Nine years ago today, I married my hubby, Matt.  Matt and I love to laugh and constantly look for funny things to share with one another.

When we moved into the house we are in now, it has a closet the size of a pack of gum.  But it has really high ceilings in the closet.  And it took about two years, but I finally convinced him to put another hanging rod at the ceiling level so that I could actually hang up some clothes.  The problem then, of course, I could not reach my clothes.  First solution, a chair – nope, not high enough.  Second solution, a ladder – nope, remember I said the closet was small, you can't open a ladder in there.  So we thought and we thought and then I told him I needed a hook on a stick, like what the department stores use.  I found one online, for over $200 – no way am I spending that on a stick!

So I asked him to make me one, and four months later he called me from the home improvement store and asked me a question, but could not come up with the words, ‘hook on a stick' and what came out was ‘so what kind of hooker do you want?'  And from there on out we have loving called it my Hooker.  And I love it!

Sheri with her HookerDo you remember a while back when I shared about my thieving mother in law?  Remember, I adore my MIL, and tease her about being thieving.  She sees things she likes when she comes to visit and after she is gone, I realize that she has it, and typically it is Matt that offers it to her without my knowledge.  Well, she too needed a hooker for her closet, and her hubby never made her one.  When she left yesterday to drive her 9 hour drive home, my hooker went with her, and she said it was her birthday present and told her husband that we got her a hooker for her birthday.

Last night over dinner, Matt asked me if I had come up with any ideas on what I wanted for our anniversary, and just as he filled his mouth with food, I told him I wanted a new hooker for our anniversary.  (yes, it was funny to say it and funny to see the mess he tried to avoid making)

Today, he is taking me shopping for a new hooker and he said that he is going to do an upgrade to the original, so for our anniversary, my husband it making me a Hooker 2.0!  I adore this man!  Who else would get their wife a hooker for their anniversary?
