Let's just say my husband knows me well! For those of you who know us, you might know that giving each other gifts is not the way we show each other that we love each other. If you are familiar with the 5 love languages, both of us have the giving/receiving of gifts as #5. It simply means, we show our love to one another in other ways other than giving gifts like through acts of service (me), quality time (both of us) and physical touch (Michael) and then throw a few words of affirmation in there (me) and our love tanks are full. And if we do exchange an occasional gift, we keep it simple and within the budget. So with today being Valentines day, I was expecting nothing and was totally fine with that and I hadn't gotten Michael anything, and he was fine with that too. But my sweetie surprised me and got me this:
My favorite popcorn along with a cup filled with York peppermint patties (YUM) and toothbrush to brush away the cavities after consuming a large amount of chocolate goodness. But what I like even better is the cup. You see, I made the decision 3 weeks ago to give up soda and I have done amazingly well if you ask me breaking a serious addiction to caffienated beverages. I mentioned the first week of no soda that maybe if I had a special water cup to drink out of, it would make drinking water more enjoyable. Well, my hubbie was listening and he got me a very special water cup. I love it because it is the perefect size, holds just the right amount of water, and has cute hearts all over it. But most of all, I like it because Michael not only listened to that request but remembered it as well and then did something about it.
So here's to a happy Valentines day everybody! Cheers!!!!!! mmmmmmm, my water tastes so much better in my special cup! :)
