Valentines Day Present! (Early) :)

I am soooo spoiled by my wonderful hubby!!  Last night I had a parent meeting at school, so I didn't get home until about 7:30.  For those of you who don't already know, since I got out of college and started working I have become an old fuddy-duddy who goes to sleep somewhere between 8 and 9 at night.  So I knew I wouldn't have much time to spend with Michael before I would be tired and ready for bed.  It was nice seeing him after the long day and Harlee was VERY excited (as she usually is when anyone comes to our house).  But, as I predicted, it wasn't long before I was tired and ready to go to bed.  I asked Michael if he wanted to come and put me to sleep (he lays down with me until I fall asleep, then gets back up to do work, homework, or watch tv), I expected him to laugh at me for being tired so early, but he said, ok!  I should have known then that something was up, but it wasn't until I walked into our bedroom that I saw what Michael had done.  He cleaned up our whole bedroom!  Put away all the laundry, put away the Christmas presents that hadn't got a place yet, cleaned the nightstands of their clutter, even vacuumed!  There were candles lit, the lava lamp was on (not sure how long it's been since I've seen it up and working), the bed was made, and some quiet music was on.  It was the perfect thing to come home to!!  I was so happy!!  Michael and I layed in bed and cuddled and told each other how much we love each other.  Then he mentioned he picked up my Valentines Day present today (yesterday).  I asked if I could have it, but he said it had to be the perfect moment.  Eventually I fell asleep in his arms, knowing I'm the luckiest girl in the whole world to have such an amazing husband.

This morning after I got up and ready for work I jumped back into bed and asked Michael if it was the perfect moment yet.  He was sleepy and groggy, but he managed to laugh at me and tell me no.  I asked why not and he reminded me that the night before I had said that I would wait until the perfect moment and then some.  I told him that the perfect moment had been the night before and that I had waited all night until this morning.  He laughed at me some more.  I asked if he was hiding it in his nightstand.  He told me no, but smiled at me as I went to check it out anyway,  When I opened the drawer there was a little black Zales bag inside.  I gasped and asked Michael if I could have it.  He smiled at me and said ok.  I opened the bag and the box inside to find a beautiful white gold chain.  :)  It's to go on my necklace that he bought me 2 Christmas' ago.  My chain had a couple of broken links (it was still all together, but weakened, and if another link broke in the same spot the whole necklace would fall off).  This new chain is heavier and stronger, but still beautiful!  Michael threaded the heart onto the new chain for me and I'm wearing it with confidence instead of worry now.  :)  What can I say?  He's the best!!

Love you, Michael James.  <3
