I have been lucky enough to receive a handful of truly amazing, thoughtful gifts over the years. I now need to add one more to that list I will cherish forever. Mrs. Riniker's preschool class gave me a personalized book yesterday....they all drew a picture of the things they remembered/liked the most when I was in the classroom. Mrs. Riniker added a picture to each page....with the preschooler and myself. It was really nice, adorable, and unexpected! Kelly and I have had a wonderful experience at Xavier this year. We look forward to many more amazing years!
Here are a few other truly amazing gifts I have received over the years....I look at them every one in awhile and count my blessings for the people in my life.
** As a college graduation gift, one of my college roommates put together an amazing scrapbook of our 4 years of college. Those years were amazing! I miss my college roommates/fellow swimmers/and best friends a lot....but love to look back and remember the good times we had together.
** When I turned 25 years old, my mom gave me a box with her 25 favorite memories of me over the years. Those memories truly make me smile!
** The day of my bridal luncheon (the day before our wedding) my Mom gave me a framed poem she wrote. It was amazing and is still hanging in our bedroom. Every once in awhile I read it and think back to our wonderful wedding weekend.
** Our wedding quilt that was made by all our our family and friends...it is on a quilt rack in our room and my girls look at some of the pictures now. It has always been a really special gift!
** When Kelly was born (our first child) my Mom gave me a book "I Loved You Before You Were Born". She wrote throughout the book about how excited she was to meet "Baby Snyder" and that she truly loved her before she was born.
** Two years ago (my 10th year as the head coach of the WCHS swim team) my state team put together a scrapbook for me as a birthday/coaches gift. It is truly the best gift I have received in my 12 years coaching. It was a special team that year...and I will always remember those girls and be grateful for the time and effort they put into that scrapbook.
** No I will add the preschool memory book to my list of cherished things!
