Romance

My husband are coming up on a decade of togetherness this year and we're not exactly the most romantic people. We show each other we care by doing nice things for one another but grand romantic gestures don't really exist. I think we got anniversary cards for one another this year past year but honestly I am not positive. One year I made dinner at home and I picked up red plates from Target and made heart shaped cheeseburgers for dinner. He has started to listen a little bit because 2 years ago and again this year Valentine's Days he's taking me out to dinner and not telling me where we are going. I understand Valentine's Day is for both of you so for years my husband argued that if we went out we should plan it together. Well, darn it I want to be surprised!

This year I am making him a gift. He plays soccer at least once a week and he's been playing on an indoor league for over a year now. So when I was out this past weekend at a fabric store, I spied a red fleece with soccer balls all over it. Since red is his favorite color and they had a nice solid black fleece as well I decided to pick up a couple yards and make him tie fleece blanket. He's always stealing mine so I thought I would surprise him with one of his own. I'm not exactly the most crafty person in the world so hopefully he appreciates this.

Since I can only work on it when he's not home I started it tonight. It's already half done and easier than I thought it would be. I had to go and hide it a little while ago since I do not know when he will be home. It's a suitcase in our closet, hopefully it's safe. I'll post a picture when it's done.
