Here’s Your Sign: Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2012

Nothing says “I Love You” on Valentine’s Day like construction equipment… at least not for the Jacksons of Barrineau Park.

Since Crystal Jackson is now a stay at home mom, Gabe Jackson couldn’t send flowers to her office this year. So the next best thing was a lighted construction sign across from Molino Park Elementary School where Crystal would be dropping off daughter Alyssa at school.

The sign proclaims for all traveling Highway 97 to see — “Happy V Day Crystal…I Love You”.

“I was definitely surprised; he had mentioned he was exited about something a few weeks ago so it took me a minute to put it together,” Crystal said.

The couple will celebrate their 11th anniversary in April. They were high school sweethearts, together now for 16 years.

“I am thankful God put us together,” she said.

    KUDOS for thinking of something unique……not many other MEN out there would’ve gone this far for the woman he loves. Praise God on {16} years and may they find another {16} years. God bless this couple!
