Electronic Chemistry

Mk's brother and sister-in-law came in town for the weekend. They went shopping for baby items (congrats) while I stayed and watched the kids. While they were at the mall I sent MK
an e-card. It said something pretty cheesy like:

In the chemistry of love our reaction was irreversible/you are the best thing that ever happened to me

Sign of Love

Last night while MK was asleep I made a sign for MK. I made the "I love you" hand gesture in sign language and put my hand on the copier. Then I took the photocopy and taped it to our mirror above the fireplace. When she woke and went into the living room she literally saw a
sign of love.

Green,Gold,Going to Walmart

Today I stopped by a little shop and picked up a pair of gold with greeen stone costume earrings . I had them wrapped and kept the bag in my car. When I got home MK said she needed to stop by walmart. Before she left I placed the wrapped box of earrings in the passenger seat for her. On the outside of the bag was a note which read:

Just what every girl wants / a little green and gold / and a lot of love!

MK didn't really get it a first which takes some of the sweetness out of it when you have to explain it. But that's ok :)

"Made in China" is forever

Coming off of the night at this spa, I figured I would do something really small. We attended Eliza's school orientation and afterwards I presented MK with a gift. I told her that I had a ring for her and gave her a 4 carat pink diamond ring. Well, it didn't have real diamonds or even fake ones. It was a toy ring that I got just to put a smile on her face.


Lesson learned: it's more about the presentation and delivery than the actual gift.

Night at the Spa

I was off from work today which was good since it was Cameron's first day of kindergarten. MK worked pretty much all day with just a couple of breaks. I figured I would treat her to a "night at the spa". So I cleaned the bathroom and the bedroom. Set up candles, plugged in the sound machine, and ran a hot bubble bath right before she came home. When she came home I occupied the kids while she went to the bedroom. On the outside of the door was a sign which read "Spa". Just gave her a little time to herself to relax from a long days work.

Honestly, I think she is probably happier that I cleaned the bath and the toilet :)

I bless the day that I found you

I sent MK an email with the chorus (below) to Maxwell's song "fortunate" and told her to push play on the CD player. I set the player to play that song for her, because I know i am so fortunate to have her as my wife.

Fortunate to have you girl
I'm so glad you're in my world
Just as sure as the sky is blue
I bless the day that I found you

I love - shoe polish

This morning before heading to work I took a bottle of white shoe polish and wrote "Infinity plus one" on the back windshield. We both have the phrase engraved on wedding rings.
Meaning: when we were starting out dating we would ask eachother how much we loved one another. The response was, "to infinity" and then the other one would ask. The response "to infinity plus one". What can you say, we were kids.
Cool thing about putting this on the car was she drove around all day with it on the back glass.

Until it rained

Keeping it simple.....surprise

Today MK comes back for a weekend at the beach for a bachelorette party. Shortly after midnight I sent a message to her blackberry. Message read (happy anniversary/ miss you, love you, can't wait to kiss you :). When she gets home I have three things waiting for her; a bouquet of flowers, a card, and a hershey's kiss. Inside the kiss is the web address for this blog. Surprise!

This is me being romantic...

We have known eachother for almost 12 years. Married for 6 years with two beautiful kids. Between work and family it's hard to make time to be romantic. Maybe because I want to make being romantic complicated. This is my commitment to making romance a top priority. By going back to the simple signs of affection. I will be giving you random acts of romance each day to show you how much you mean to me.

Happy anniversary and I love you.

:)Look out for those (hershey) kisses.
