A Thought-Out Plan

First of all, can I say my husband is so romantic and really tries to go out of his way to make me happy and feel loved!
The past week, Matt told me he knew the exact date and time he will be coming home but he's not telling me since he wanted to surprise me. Cute, right? So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday went by. Thursday I continued my normal day, went to the facility. Matt was texting me throughout the day like normal. I was on my way home, opened the garage, opened the door to the house and I noticed all the lights were off and it was warm in the house. When I left, I always leave a light on so I can see since I don't get home until after sunset and I haven't had the heat on in a long time. So I was a little creeped out....
Until I saw a flickering light and there was my husband. Standing in the kitchen with the most adorable smile on his face filled with excitement. I was really surprised. I didn't think he was home because there was no evidence in the garage. But he was there. It was a great surprise...and even better when I walked further into the kitchen. He had the table set up for a dinner for 2 by candle-light with red and white roses, dinner already ready and wine on the table. Even the napkins were folded in half to perfection.  Love love loved it.

I had to turn a light on so the table could be seen, but it was very romantic with lights off.

 All this for me! Dinner was great, he made pasta salad. We had a nice evening which then, I received not so pleasant news about Matt deploying in September for 6 months. (Seriously the Marine Corps does not want us together and it totally sucks. sucks. sucks! Especially because all my friends are moving over the summer and he's gone during all the family orientated/loving months...Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines. and I'm going to be alone, all alone.) But you know what, I could have let it put a damper on the mood, but there really is no need to stress and worry about it right now when it's months away. I don't want to take away the fun and exciting times that I have with him we have together. So, I will try not to worry about that deployment until August or really whenever we find out more information on the date. I know this probably will help him for the next promotion, he'll get more ribbons, and then maybe whenever he comes home we can move to the East Coast. But, I am really thankful we get to spend a summer together, though....first time in 4 years.

Our plans are to:

• Spend every moment possible with each other
• Beach a lot
• A REAL honeymoon
• Complete as many items on our list as we can in a short period of time.
• Not let the little things bother us

In other news:

Osama Bin Laden is dead! Hooray. There is a sense of peace and hopefully a sign of this terrible war will be ending soon and we will have things in our hands. I can only imagine how the families who lost a loved one in the war or during the tragic event of 9/11 are feeling when they heard the news. I would think, it would help with a sense of closure.

Happy belated Cinco De Mayo. I am a day late, but like I said above - I was working, and then came home to a wonderful surprise.

I got a 100 on my paper, 101 on my quiz last week; reason why more than 100 is because I got the bonus question correct, and 96.5 on my test. Who's good? Me!
