Date Ideas At Home

WAITING TIL THE RIGHT TIME

submitted by: Catie Z.

My husband and I had a very special Christmas the first year that we were dating.  I had decided that I would pick the day before I went home for Christmas break (I was in college at the time) as the day to tell him that I loved him.

I prepared a very elaborate evening for him and kept him in suspense the whole week prior.  When he came over, I was dressed in my most flattering dress, had soft jazz music playing in the background, and had candles lit. 

Little did he know, but I had prepared our entire dinner by myself.  The surprises didn't end there though.  After we finished our dinner and a glass of wine, I showed him his dessert.  I had made a cake, cut it into the shape of a heart, and spelled out "I LUV U" in M&M's in the cake's frosting. 

He also received a very special gift that night -- a mix CD that held all of the songs that expressed exactly how I felt about him.  We danced to it for the rest of the night...

He was surprised, delighted, and we still talk about our first Christmas together.
