Life's Little Wonders

Mandy

Still madly in love, we challenge ourselves to keep our relationship exciting, filled with surprises and most importantly the unexpected.

I still remember this day like yesterday: It was my birthday and I worked all day. I came home expecting to go out for supper with friends and get to bed early, but, my God, was I in for a surprise...

As I pulled up in the driveway I noticed a note tied to this great big teddy bear on the steps to my home. I smiled, and slowly started to open the note... it read "H".

As I opened the door, there was my dog, waiting with another note, which read "A".

I wondered what he was up to as I went up the stairs to the master bedroom. The bed was full of roses and there lay another note, this one read "W."

I noticed on the night table a ring box and immediately started to tear it open... as I opened it, there was a little piece of paper with the letter "A" on it. I started to laugh and call out his name, still wondering what he was up to.

I pulled myself together and went to the kitchen looking for him or more letters. As I do every day after work, I started to make myself a cup of tea when I noticed him, waiting, as beautiful as ever, next to the front door, with the most amazing smile, the type of smile that makes you melt, and then I heard, "How was your day my love?"

I walked towards him and smiled, and said, "Wonderful honey."

He asked "Did you notice what was in the fridge?" I started to laugh and went to see. As I opened the fridge door, I saw the letters "II" on my birthday cake.

I turned to him and asked, "Honey, what are you up to?"

He replied, "Put all of those together and I'm going to be waiting for you outside." I stood there placing the letters together... H-A-W-A-I-I! By the time I realized what I was reading and got outside, my love was standing there with my suit cases and a beautiful flower neckless ready to go ... to wonderful Hawaii!

I had a wonderful time in another one of life's little wonders..
