It's been a crazy few weeks around here. Between my husband having surgery right before Spring Break, my tax-job schedule being quite a few more hours than normal, extra events at school, and several other things, I've been running a bit crazy. So, when I jokingly told my son to go get me a chocolate milkshake, I didn't really expect anything to happen. For one, because he's seven, and for two, because I was joking--mostly. So, when my husband jumped up and put his shoes on, I was a bit floored. Pleased, but surprised. He was going to do it? He did!
When we were dating in college, a lot of times our "dates" would lead to Sonic for a chocolate milkshake or to Wendy's for a frosty. I still love both. Probably too much. But we don't get them often. They're a treat. Usually reserved for a special occasion or when we have coupons or something. Not on a random Monday night. But that Monday night, it was like my husband knew I really did want a shake, even if it was out of the norm. He knew what kind of pressure I had been under. And he made it happen. Because these things are out of the norm, they're even more special. Did I love the flowers he got me for my birthday and Valentine's day? Yes. Did I love that he helped me replace a couple of my raised bed gardens? You better believe it. But do I love it even more when he's spontaneous and makes sure I get something I want at random times? A thousand times yes. Because it means he sees me and he hears me. He picks up on the clues. And he acts on them. There's nothing more romantic than that in my book. Seriously. It's the epitome of real-life romance. Though I could go on about other things I love him doing, too, I'll save those for another day. ;) What about you? What are some clues your loved one has picked up on that made your day? Ever have someone bring you a chocolate shake just when you needed one?
