Today ended up being a total surprise. Originally Vance and I were just going to order in, watch an on-demand movie, and then maybe after the baby went to sleep mess around. I had not done a thing all day aside from feed Deven sweet potatoes and take a nap. I hadn't showered or gotten dressed or lifted a finger around our apartment. Oh yeah, i vacuumed. The point being, I wasn't prepared. He got home right at 3 o'clock and told me to get dressed because he wanted to take me shopping. I shit you not.
And shop I did. Because I am such an awesome bargain hunter I was able to get a lot for the $100 I was given. I don't know what could have possibly driven Vance to want to do something so awesome. We decided we couldn't afford presents this year and it wasn't important enough to justify spending our precious money. I felt bad because I didn't even make him a pretty card or anything.
Seriously, what an awesome man. I never really expect him to think of things like this (unless it's my birthday, undeniably the most important day of the year) because he's a man and I have learned to not expect much from the denser-hearted sex. I guess I underestimated him.
I am incapable at this hour of the night in this mental state able to express how much I love him and appreciate him. I think I have said it at least 3 times before in my posts that he shows such strength just by sticking around through all of these changes. He's never kissed my ass, he has always told me exactly how he felt. I always took for granted how at party's he's always told me that I was the most beautiful girl in the room even when I wasn't asking for it. Even though we bicker most of the time, the conversations I have with him are still the most stimulating, entertaining, inspiring, and passionate talks I have ever had with anyone in my life. No matter how angry it makes him, I'll still laugh at annoyed he gets having to listen to the sound of people eating. I can't picture my life without him here. I knew there had to be a reason I couldn't get him out of my head for those years prior to our relationship. All the crap is totally worth it to me, and I hope it's worth it to him.
There, I think I summed it up okay.
We don't do enough the rest of the year to show how much we love and care about each other, or at least I don't think I do. If there was something I could do to show how much I appreciate having him around I would. Oh yeah, I suppose I could honor Steak & BJs day (March 14) just for him.
My God I am so tired. After today I wonder what we'll end up doing for our Anniversary on March 3rd...
