Little Things...

Little things about my relationship with John make me realize just how lucky I am to be with him. John is the kind of man that if he had $2 to his name he would use one to buy something to make someone smile and the other to save up to buy something bigger for someone else. He is selfless, kind and loyal to the max.

When we started dating he did little surprises all the time just to make me smile. That hasn’t stopped in the 13 months we have been together and I don’t see it stopping any time soon.

Just yesterday he picked me up from work and the car smelled like food, delicious nutricious and just like heaven food. I asked him about it and he said with a smile “I have a surprise for you!”. I smiled back and said ok! He drove me to this adorable little park in Logan and said that we were going to have a picnic in the park. At first I thought that it would be a LOT too cold to go outside but I went along with it and hopped out of the car. He asked me what I was doing and I said “going for a picnic of course”. He laughed and said “it’s a little too cold outside, let’s just stay in the car.” Whew! What a relief!

He got into the back seat and pulled out a delicious pizza from Subway that he had designed himself and we said a blessing. John is a faithful man in the LDS religion and I am a faithful woman so before we eat, we pray.

The pizza was perfect! He likes peppers and  a lot of them, so the jalapeños went to him and the bell peppers and onions stayed with me. Delicious! Warm to the touch and soft to the mouth, this pizza melted just the right way and had the perfect amount of kick.

After we had eaten, we went for a little walk around the park and on a whim, I pushed him and said “Tag! You’re it!” and took off like a mad woman! Here is a picture of what he thought I looked like:

And he was right! He ran after me and for his tag, slapped my booty and ran up a slide! I was thinking do not go down that! It’s freezing and thing was made for a 10 year old at most! But always the adventurer, he climbed up and rode the icey slide of death down and landed in a heap of snow. We both laughed and I ran over to him to see if he was alright. Crazy man J.

I hugged him, took his hands in mine, kissed him and then fell backwards into a pile of snow to make a snow angel. I was wearing exactly the wrong jeans and snow fell down into the most uncomfortable of spots! Aiiiya!! But apart from that it was a beautiful angel. John followed suit and made one right next to mine. Copy cat!

We jumped up and ran back to the safe haven of our warm car and headed home.

Later that night, he had another surprise! He bought us both new toothbrushes and toothpaste just because he noticed that we needed new ones and were running low on toothpaste. He is so thoughtful and observant! I honestly can’t say enough good about this man! He is a treasure and my very best friend.

Happy 5months!
