We are not romantic people. After being together 12 years and married almost 10 years, throw in 2 kids and just life in general we seriously fail in the romance department. So I thought with today being Valentine's Day I figured I would make the effort to actually do something today.
I worked hard to keep his stuff a surprise, after all he is a detective and can usually tell when I am up to something. I called the secretary at the PD and asked if she would help me sneak his stuff in so that it was on his desk when he gets in to the office. In his little goody bag is a ton of Hershey kisses and Hershey bars, chewing gum, 3 cans of Copenhagen (again yes we are southern, he dips, that is the dip he only buys on special occasions cause well it's expensive), and after a trip to a local bakery a personal pineapple upside down cake, 2 lip shaped cookies, and oatmeal sandwich cookies.
My favorite part of the bag though was the framed picture of our family for his desk, and the cards-one from me, one from the kids. My card was mushy and sweet and had a little note to go with the money I put in there. The little note said, since I can't eat lunch with you today, lunch is on me :).
Hopefully he enjoys his little goodies today, and maybe he will bring some chocolate home and share. :)
