He Has Been Awarded Husband Points

The other day, husband and I got into a conversation about how he's not really very spontaneous or very romantic. I have to tell him to get me flowers, plan something for us to do, etc. I ended the conversation with, "I just wish that sometimes you had a surprise up your sleeve (husband has never managed to surprise me because he makes the mistake of giving clues....BIG clues)."

Little did I know that husband DID have a surprise up his sleeve. Two days before Easter, he was stalling on leaving the house to go to the grocery store. Late in the afternoon, the UPS man came by and dropped off a giant box with a Godiva stamp on it. Since I was sitting outside on my sweet chair (and nearly scared the pants off the UPS man), I grabbed the box and ran inside. Nick was sitting on the couch, beaming as I buzzed around the box like a bee around honey. Even though it was a couple of days early, he let me open the box and much to my delight, I found a tower of deliciousness...sixboxes stacked on top of each other filled with all different kinds of Godiva chocolate.

Even more than the chocolate (though it is so delicious), I was excited that he had managed to surprise me. Bless his heart for trying despite the fact that I seem to be a very demanding wife. He chalked up some big husband points and has been rewarded accordingly, believe me.
