A Secret about Rick!

Shhhhh......

I am going to let everyone in on a big secret….my husband is a closet romantic. He has always done really well making anniversaries, holidays, and birthdays very special. Well he did it again, and I wanted to share. For Valentine’s Day he first brought me a dozen red roses at work. He had this whole plan on how he was going to sneakily put them on my desk without me knowing, but I kind of ruined that by coming back from lunch just after he arrived. Sorry, babe.

Earlier in the month he had informed me that he would be taking care of dinner for Valentine’s Day. When I arrived home from work there was a sign on the door going into the kitchen that said “Please use the front door” so I walked around to the front door and there was a sign on it that said “Thank you”. I got a kick out of that. I entered the house and in the hallway there were a couple more signs directing me to our bedroom. Laid out on the bed was one of my dresses and another sign that said, “Please put me on (and call me when you are done)”. I changed in the dress then called Rick and he came around the corner all dressed up also. He lead me back to the kitchen where there were rose petals leading through the kitchen and down the basement stairs.

In the basement he had put more rose petals leading to a romantic table that he had set. The lights were off but there were candles everywhere to set the mood as well as a CD of love songs playing in the background. I was so surprised! It was so sweet and he had gone to so much trouble. He had to go out and buy the table cloth and candlestick holders because we didn’t have those, not only did he buy them by himself but they were exactly what I would’ve picked myself! Rick then had to leave to go get dinner really quick, which he surprised me with my favorite meal from Outback. It was delicious. The last surprise for the night was a beautiful present, on top of everything else that he had done. What a wonderful husband!

I joke that he is much more romantic than me, and this is probably the truth, but I love how much he does for me and all of the little ways that he says “I love you”! Now the secret is out…
