Nate and I have been married for 11 years. As much as I’d love to gush about my amazing husband, (he is the saver of the blog), I will instead tell you one of the things he does everyday that makes me feel special. He opens doors. Most every door I walk through, actually, if he is in the vicinity, but particularly car doors. Getting into them, and out, even if we are taking separate cars to the same location for whatever reason. I love it. I am so in the habit of having car doors opened for me, that for a number of years, I’d regularly embarrass myself when I’d happen to be out with someone other than Nate. They’d park the car, get out, and stare at me as I’d be sitting there, subconsciously waiting for them to come and open my door. I’m better now, but it happened many, many times. I felt ridiculous at the time, but now, it’s pretty funny. So there it is, my sweet man opens my door, every time, after 11 years. Awwww.
Thank you, honey. I love you.
OK, I hear ya’, knitting stuff. Today is Friday. That means it’s our Hayden along day. How’s it going out there? Let’s see…
Jena has swatched a nice one. Ann has finished hers, and is lucky enough to have a friend with amazing color coordinating skills. Check it out! I love the complexity of that color combination. It is delicious! Suzy has finished her second Hayden. Good job! (And the scarf matches very well). Donna has started hers. Susan has swatched, and is going to start one soon, but the poor thing can’t blog about it, because her Christmas gift receivers read her blog, so I told her she could post her progress here on Fridays.
OK, I think I got everybody. If I missed someone, please bring it to my attention. Once again, great job on all the Haydens. I never expected my hat to be so popular!
Thank you for the kind posts, emails, and well wishes. Fortunately, the blog wasn’t down for too long, and we were able to get all of my content back!

I was so worried when your blog was missing yesterday! I (thankfully) have not yet been subject to spam comments…
You and nate are so cute in that picture!

OMG! Your wedding photo is so beautiful! Now I can see where the girls get their cuteness 🙂 Congrats on 11 years. I wish you many more happy years to come!
I should try a Hayden, I always hesitate to try knit-a-longs because I don’t have a camera to share my progress. But I think I will have to try one for fun 🙂

Happy anniversary! I’m so glad to see you are back online! Good job, Nate! This has not been a good week for knitting. I’m hoping to get more done this weekend. Maybe I’ll be able to finish my Hayden. Have a great weekend Laura!

La, you make a stunning blonde! What a great photo and wonderful man you have there! It is delightful to have you back online, although I am lucky to have the live version of you, the blog is special, too and I really enjoy it.
Congratulations and best wishes for an eternity of happiness to you both!
Love, Gayle

Happy anniversary! I’m knitting a Hayden, as well, and I have a seven-day deadline because the recipient will be leaving to spend the holiday with her family. I am not a fast knitter so this should be a challenge. I haven’t really posted much about it on my blog because I don’t have any photos yet. I can’t find what my husband did with the blasted digital camera! Hopefully I will find it before I give away all my knitted Christmas gifts.
