It starts with this on the front door for him to find when he gets home from work.
I requested that we not do anything for Valentine's day because K already does so many sweet things for me. I don't believe that one day should mean so much and then we forget the important gestures the rest of the year. And I'm not a fan of gifts. I much prefer words, hugs, and acts of service, all of which I am given a life-time supply of daily.
But I couldn't help myself after getting an idea from a friend's blog. There is now an entire pack of heart-shaped sticky notes on the walls of our house.
It also worked out nicely that K went to work at 6:30 pm on the night of the 13th and will come home at 7:15 am on the morning of the 14th. It gave me the two+ hours I needed to put this together.
My entire valentine surprise cost me about $3.50. But took a lot of time, effort, and thought - which are the kind of gifts I prefer anyway.
I should have bought another pack. 150 sticky notes wasn't nearly enough to tell him everything I love about him.
I also saved my list because I think it would be a fun tradition to start. And to see how things change over the years and what will become important then. I know he'll always do things that make it so easy to love him, but I know that as our lives change, the stuff that means the most to me will change. But we'll change and grow together. (That's one of the sticky notes...)
