I know a lot of you probably think you have the best husband ever. Well, you would be wrong. My husband is the best! As many other people, our life is pretty busy. Most nights I don't get home till 7:30 or 8:30. Mike is usually right behind me around 8 or 9. Then when we both are home I am usually doing homework, packing my lunch for the nest day and trying to get into bed as early as possible. Mike usually takes off shortly after he gets home to go play in some type of sporting game (city league basketball or football, tennis if it's nice enough and church ball if he can make it.) As you can imagine that leaves very little "us time" in the week. After only four years of marriage we know the importance of "us time" so we make up for it on the weekends. Friday night is date night. We try to make it just an us thing, but sometimes its nice to have company we we'll invite another couple to join us. But really, its usually just us. We catch up on all the random little things from the past week, laugh, talk business, graduate school, kids at school, family affairs and go over upcoming events. It is my favorite!! Just him and I with no distractions. Ok, well sometimes the food is so good we just sit there and rave about it. I can't think of anything I look forward to more each week :)
On top of weekly date nights we've talked about how important it is for us to go out of our way to show the other we love them. I leave notes on mirrors and cars, make his favorite treats and occasionally drop surprised off to him at work. He writes me poems, leaves me flowers and hides notes in obscure places. I always get the biggest smile when he shows his love for me in these fun ways!
A few weeks back I was having a really bad week. You know, the kind were everything and anything goes wrong and you feel like you can't get your head above water and you just want to cry? Well that's the kind of week I was having and on top of it I had to stay late to babysit one night. After I got the kids into bed I check my phone and found a text that said
"clue: you are the _____ beneath my wings and I will forever protect you with my sword and _____."
I was pretty tired and didn't really put it all together to fast. I texted him back "wind shield?" Then I waited for him to give me some explanation. I sat down on the couch and thought about it for much longer than I should have. Then the light clicked on and I ran to my car to find my favorite flowers (gerber daises) and a note on my windshield. How sweet. He really is my prince charming. I am so lucky to have found the perfect person for me!!
