My Anneversary Gift

[dallasblue05]

I dont know who of you will actually care, but this weekend I got one the nicest gifts ever. I know it's kind of cheesy, but my girlfriend and I celebrate monthly anneversaries, because we are still dating, and not married yet. Well, this Saturday, was our 10 month anny and I took her out to a really nice restaurant and out to a movie. When we got back we talked for a while, and after we were finished talking, she said she got me something. She walked me into our bedroom and turned on the light. There on the bed was a framed poster of Troy Aikman, autographed, with 2 certificates of authenticity. Now, you may say, it's just an autograph of Troy, but for me, Troy was the athlete I looked up to my entire childhood (along with Jordan) and he has been a role model of mine my entire life. I was amazed, and this was no cheap present, I know that it was at least 300 dollars. I THOUGHT before that she is a keeper, but now I KNOW she is. What do you guys think.

She sounds like a great woman, but marry her for who she is and not for things she can give you. Even if she can someday bag you luxury suites at the new Texas Stadium, it will be meaningless should the two of you cannot get along during the 6 1/2 days spent together outside games. Of course, I would be tempted...

I think it is great. One of my most prized possessions is an autographed picture of my then 2 year old son Troy with Troy Aikman at camp in '95.

Contrary to Jack's experience, it doesn't have to end. My 15th anniversary is coming up and my wife and daughter are working on a Cowboys quilt for my present. I gave them some design ideas, but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

It is my ten year anniversary and my wife is trying to find me a blue Cowboys' jersey as a gift (amazing what buying her earrings can do ). However, you think I can find one in this city? Nope. I saw white Julius Jones and Roy Williams' jerseys but I want a blue one as I already have a white Williams' jersey.

I would order one from Cowboys.com but the shipping to Canada is about as much as the jersey .

Just an update, my wife called and she found a blue Keyshawn Johnson jersey for me so that is my anniversary gift. Woohoo. They also had Roy Williams in blue but I already have him in white.

[dallascowboysfan31]

mine does that for me too. she knows all that i want is cowboys stuff. so far she's got me 2 authentic roy williams jersey's and a dallas cowboys authentic full size helmet signed by jason ferguson and tony tolbert. and she also hand sewed cowboys curtains for my office.

A marriage Lic. should be like a fishing Lic. it must be renewed every year.. it would keep both parties on their toes...

might be a great idea... it might suck

but it was a thought..... which proves.........hmmm

I forgot what it proves but it proves something

don't ya just hate it when that train of thought your riding stops

You sound like a man of experience

I do divorce law and that is now how it ends up in our jurisdiction.

that is a nice gift, she's a keeper. I got a nice, authentic Roger Staubach throwback jersey from one girlfriend. She was a keeper.
