Marriage Moments, Moments 118-120

"It is so rewarding to be married. Marriage is wonderful. In time you begin to think alike and have the same ideas and impressions. You have times when you are extremely happy, times of testing, and times of trial, but the Lord guides you through all of those growth experiences together."  --Richard D. Scott, The Eternal Blessings of Marriage, Ensign, May 2011.

118.

I came home from a meeting the other night and Shawn said that there was a surprise for me down by my pillow.  I rushed to our room and found this note.  This note led me to another note, and then another and another.  I was so excited as I rushed from room to room wondering what the end surprise could be.  Finally I came to a giant chocolate bar.  Does my sweetie know me or what?  What a fun surprise!

119.  Date Nights!  Shawn is always so good to make time for the two of us to have some alone time together.    Ninety nine percent of the time when we go on a date it is because he planned it or he suggested it.  Sometimes our dates are as simple as going to the store together, or grabbing a bite to eat and then perusing Barnes and Noble, but whatever it is it is always so nice to spend time with just him.  

120.  Flowers just because.  I would say that on the average Shawn brings me flowers about once a month, just because.  Just because he loves me and he thought of me while he was at the store.  I sure love that man.
