Roughly 20 years ago my eighteen year old self went out with a friend to a nightclub! It was the fourth of July and we were out to get free drinks from American sailors who were in town! She also invited her male friend, who turned up with a long blonde fringe and wearing a rather nice coat (It was the early nineties ....she chambray shirt was pretty hot too) and a dashing English accent (my weakness), I was smitten and we started going out!
But my friend kept telling me he was creepy and so I used my best Cosmo dump line .....your not the sort of man I want to go out with, you are the type I wan to Marry!
Lucky for me, he took his dumping well and after many drunken pashes (with one another) we finally got it together ....our families thought we had been together for years anyway!
Fast forward twenty years, a time living overseas, two kids, a marriage, two houses later ....the boy with the blonde locks has now gone darker and a bit old and his accent has faded a bit ...but now no one can tell me he is creepy cause I know they are wrong!
So on this week ....the most romantic of them all because of Valentine's my husband surprises me with a big bunch of flowers delivered to my work
The flowers mean a lot but really it's the little things that make our relationship so wonderful
The coffee in the morning
The way he loves our children
The way he hugs me
When he cleans the kitchen
The way he sticks by me, he supports me, he encourages me!
He is my Soul Mate.....My everything and I love him!
So thanks for the flowers ....I loved them!
But next year I won't expect them, because for me Romance is everywhere
xxxooo
What a wonderful example you both set your children. No wonder they are so great too! I love that romance is everywhere for you - same as it is in our house.
