The Grand Romantic Gesture



I was pretty late getting home from work last night. I came into the house and found candles lit everywhere - all through the house. It was beautiful and so romantic!

And I thought to myself, “Wow, who are you and what have you done with my husband?” But seriously, the glass is half full and life is full of unexpected surprises so I decided to just roll with it. Carpe diem! So…. with my best come hither smile, I said, “Wow! I love all the candles!”

And my husband looked at me with those hazel blue eyes of his and said, “Oh yeah, it really, really stunk in here when I got home. It was awful. I think it was something in the garbage. I don’t know what but it was really bad. So I took out the garbage and then lit all the candles to get the stink out.”

Ohhh yeah…. that sounds more like my husband. I guess I let my imagination run away with me… :) 

Silver lining! The house smells great now! And I choose to find it romantic that he went through all the work of making sure the stink was gone before I got home! 

Keep on smiling!
