Last Thursday was our anniversary (#4!). Unfortunately, Scott was scheduled to be on-call all last week, which meant that he was working until 10 PM or so. (Translation: I didn't get to see him at all since our hours didn't coincide.) Well, I knew that he was going to have to work on our anniversary, and since he had no say in the matter, I told him we could go out and celebrate the following Monday (we were headed out of town on Saturday). Was I bummed, yes, but I always am when I don't get to see him.
So... Thursday morning when I walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast, there's a bouquet and a card waiting on the island for me. Scott, despite a long day at work on Wednesday, had taken the time to make sure that I'd wake up to flowers on our actual anniversary.
Of course, knowing that he took the time to make sure my day would start off right (especially since we wouldn't see each other that night) brought a smile to my face.
Fast forward to that afternoon/ evening. Ann and I went for our usual Thursday walk, and since neither one of us had hubbies at home, we spent a bit more time than usual visiting. Needless to say, I didn't leave her house till just after 6:30. Still, I figured that the time wasn't a big deal since I'd be spending the evening alone. That is, until I pulled into our driveway and saw Scott's take-home sitting there. When I walked in the house, there was my husband, munching on a snack (though how you can call a quesadilla snack I don't know) and waiting for me. I was totally surprised; he had made no indication that he would be home early. None. Yet there he was, waiting for me so that we could celebrate.
Now, our usual anniversary dinner involves Arby's since that's where we stopped on our way to the airport after our wedding, but seeing as how I wasn't exactly dressed for going out to eat (remember, I had been walking earlier with Ann), he let me decide our dinner plans. So what did we do? Scott picked up a pizza for us. Afterwards, we curled up on the couch to watch our Thursday night shows ("Earl" and "The Office").
And you know, that was a great way to celebrate our day. Eating good food and just being in each other's presence.
Yup. My husband is the greatest husband in the world.

Awwww.... that's so sweet. It's obvious you two were made for each other, but you already knew that. I'm glad you got to celebrate #4 together.
Happy Anniversary, Thor! If you love the guy as a husband, wait until you see the transformation into a father. It gets better. :)
