Peter got me roses for Valentine’s Day.

He planned ahead. He ordered them last Thursday.

He wanted to tell me all weekend, but didn’t.

Instead, he installed two new shelves.

He kept it a secret the whole time.

He wished me a “Happy Valentine’s Day” on the first phone call we had today; in fact it was the first thing he said.

    Sweet!

    Nate got me a massage. I had it today, he went to work late so I could go to it. I’m sore, but in a great way, now. 🙂

    Yay! for thoughtful husbands!

Journey Home: Reflections from 10,000 Feet

As I sit on the plane, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the chill of the window, I can’t help but notice the person in front of me repeatedly adjusting their seat, each movement a grating assault on my laptop screen.
