Anniversary Weekend Recap

When J comes down to Minneapolis, I usually expect to see him around 6:30 p.m. This past Friday night, 6:30 came and went, and no J. I figured he got stuck in traffic and forgot to call. While waiting for him to arrive, I leisurely got ready for D’s going away party.

7:15 p.m – Still no J. I was starting to get annoyed but something in me told me not to call and address his tardiness.

7:30 – J arrived. While he climbed the squeaky wood steps to my room, I heard a crackling noise. My first thought was “why the heck is he bringing a trash bag up here?”

Well, as he approached me, I noticed he had his hands behind his back. He greeted me with the usual hello kiss, and then pulled his hands forward, only I couldn't see his hands.

Instead I saw this:

He got me a total of 6-dozen roses! Red, pink, peach, you name it, it was there. Being the sentimental freak I am, I started crying, to which he said “Happy Anniversary Weekend!”

I honestly was taken so aback from this kind gesture that I couldn’t stop crying.

The rest of our Anniversary Weekend was picture perfect! We had an amazing and fulfilling dinner at Murray’s Steakhouse, where J surprised me with another amazing gift.

If you’ve seen the Sex and the City movie, you’re familiar with the part where Carrie is laying in bed and reading Love Letters of Great Men to her fiancé, Big.

During dinner, J gave me a card and this:

Inside there was a note from J after the prologue. I’m not going to post what is said (some things have to remain private), but I will tell you this. It was lovely.

I can’t wait to spend many more anniversaries w/ J =)
