It's the Little Things

I love all of the small, thoughtful things that Jeff does for me. Today was a perfect example. We were sitting in the living room this morning, and I was scrolling through Instagram on my phone. I saw that a bunch of people were posting pictures of the donuts they were having for Valentine's Day breakfast. I said to Jeff, "Mmmm everyone's having donuts this morning. Let's go get donuts." Jeff agreed, but then I realized it was almost 11 AM and I was still in my pajamas, so I said, "Hmmm, never mind, by the time I get showered and ready, it'll be lunch time." After that, I got up and got in the shower.

When I got out of the shower, I found that Jeff had used that opportunity to go to the store to get me flowers...and donuts! He said he was going to go and get me flowers anyway, so he picked up some donuts as long as he was at the store.

For one thing, I find it really sweet that he waited for me to be in the shower before he left to get me flowers (I didn't even know he had left) so he could really surprise me. Then the fact that he saw that there was this silly thing that I wanted, and he got it for me. I love that he is so willing to surprise me. 

Then, when we exchanged gifts later, I opened mine to see that he had bought an Arwen Evenstar necklace (from the Lord of the Rings) for me. Totally nerdy, but it proves that he totally gets me. I've always wanted one of those necklaces, but always felt too nerdy to buy one for myself. I never even expressed this concept to Jeff, because I felt too geeky. But he just knew. Wish fulfilled. Today was a great Valentine's day with my first and only Valentine.
