Kristian crowned King of Romance - at least for today


Well today was our 18th wedding anniversary. It has been a lovely day. If you read the post last night you will know that I was NOT organised for today. Usually I am sooo organised and full of surprises - it´s my husband who never has anthing ready. He usually ends up picking up a card on the way home from work. So what a surprise I got this morning, when sleepy eyed, I walked into the kitchen to find a beautiful card and a present sitting on the kitchen table.
At first I thought I was getting a CD (possible Mamma Mia CD) but on opening the present I realised it was a gift card for a wellness experience. (This is something I have talked about from time to time.) So Kristian had remembered! I can take my pick from different beauty/spa/massage places, I just need to ring and book a time and then give them my gift card. I can get a massage or manicure or facemask etc. Different places specialise in different things. The one I actually fancy is a massage with chocolate!! Yes, you read right. It starts out with warm stones and then goes into a massage with melted chocolate....maybe I could get them just to leave the chocolate for me to eat while they give me the massage. haha Sounds a bit messy but fun. So who know´s I might give it a try! I have never had a proper massage before so I am soooo looking forward to that.So needless to say I was totally speechless. That my husband had remember our anniversary and actually bought me a present really blew me away!
After work I had to think of something for him, again I was totally blank - I wandered around the shops not knowing what to get. Finally I found a DVD with Phil Colins. He likes his music, so the DVD with a few of his favourite chocolates would do the job.
Kristian arrived home after a really good day at work. His colleages are really nice, and they made him feel very welcome. He thinks he´s going to like this place! The two girls he will be working with have funny surnames, one is called Summer and the other Winter!! How funny is that!When Kristian arrived home he had some flowers for me. Well, this was really too much! A present and flowers - wow I really was in shock. haha
We both weren´t feeling up to a long evening out on the town, but did want to get out on our own for a short while. So we fed the kids and then Kristian and I headed out to our local chinese restaurant. It´s a really cosy place and we had the most delicious buffet.

While at the restaurant this guy came over and said hello to me. I nearly didn´t recongise him. It was a fella that had come to our Bible club as a kid. He´s about 18 or 19 now. He was out with his girlfriend celebrating their 2 year anniversary...aahhh, it was so sweet. Wonder if they will get married? Young love! We agreed that 1st September was a good day to celebrate love! haha

Then it was home to give my husband a nice relaxing food bath. (I had bought foot salts while in town today) The water was a little too hot for his liking - took a little time to get those feet in there.


Seeing how relaxed he looked (well, maybe not in the picture above!) I decided to give it a try too. So we spent the evening relaxing while watching the Phil Colins DVD. Yes it sure has been a good day and a relaxing, romantic evening.
