Well this year I was feeling kinda blah and was hoping he would do something for me. So a day or two before Valentines day I bought him a big bag of twizzler licorice, his favorite, and gave it to him BEFORE valentines day. Giving him a days warning that I want a bag of chocolate, or something, I just wanted to feel like he was thinking about me and that he loves me (he has a hard time showing me through sweet gestures, which every girl loves).
So the day of valentines day, we go to work like every other day, and I'm excited to see if he's done anything for me after work. I was excited, but setting myself up for disappointment too. How sad right?
Well he texts me a "Happy Valentines day, honey" text during the day but that was about it. I went home after work seeing if he would come home with chocolates in hand, or something. And of course, he didn't. He came in the house saying, "so, do you wanna go to the movies or something?" I just tell him no because it'll probably be crowded. I try to move on without getting too upset. He says he has to run to the bank and that when he gets back we'll go get food, nothing fancy though.
He leaves and comes back, still with nothing in hand. I mentioned how I was slightly disappointed because he hadnt gotten me anything. He just goes quiet and starts to shut down (which is what he does when he's upset or feels bad). So I just leave it alone.
We get in the car and start driving to go eat something. He asks me if I had put my new insurance card in the glove compartment of my car, I tell him yes. Another minute goes by and he asks me, "can you open the glove compartment for me?" I said, "do you need a tissue?" and he hesitates and says, "yes." lol. Well I open it and what do I find? An amazon gift card and a big bag of hersheys almond nuggets. I started crying cause I'm a crazy emotional pregnant woman. And we laugh while I start telling him how I wanted to kill him. We end up going to Rubio's (yummy fish tacos) and going home to watch a movie. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
He just laughed and laughed that he played me! What a jerk right? Lol. He loves to play tricks on people, and I am no exception. But I am so grateful that he ended up doing something for me and I knew I needed to journal it. Although, it's taken almost 5 years to get him to come around with this sorta stuff, I'm glad he's finally figuring it out. I love him. :)
Here's a picture I took of my belly on Valentines Day 2012 for safe keeping. I was 31 weeks pregnant. :)
