I have no doubt that my husband loves me but I so love when he shows me just how much in the smallest, yet sweetest of gestures.
Today in NJ we are dealing with the aftermath of another snow storm that lasted through the early morning hours. Last night we received the notification that the kids would be home from school. The storm and the day off school of course meant my "normal" daily schedule was out the window. Usually, after I finish my 5 a.m. workout at the gym, I stop for coffee at my local Dunkin Donuts. Well, no gym this morning meant no coffee. Dave was up early to do morning shoveling so that he could head to work. Thankfully his job is local so his commute is hampered only by the roads being clear and the amount of people braving the roads with him.
After getting all paths to our home "snow free", I sent Dave off to work with a kiss, "love you" and a "see you later". After starting a load of laundry, I settled in on the couch to catch up on the current weather situation and news of the day. It was about 15 minutes after Dave left that I caught a glimpse out the window of someone walking on the sidewalk along the side of our house and up the stoop to our side door. When I took a better look, I noticed the person was Dave. I have to admit my first thought was "oh no, why is he back" "what is wrong" "did he have an accident". I met him anxiously at the door. Saying "what's up" as he stood there holding a hot cup of pumpkin spice coffee from our local Wawa. He handed it to me and said "love you buddy".
What can I say, he knows the way to my heart....coffee tends to be one of those ways.
To make this story a little more sweet, I have to explain that the Wawa in normal weather is less than 5 minutes from our home and his work about 20 minutes. So, his trip to work was extended by his choice in bad road conditions by an extra 15+ minutes just to show me his love and put a smile on my face.
Yes, I know I am a very blessed girl! I have a man who loves me and shows me by doing the smallest things that mean so much!
Oh and that cup of coffee was one of the best I've had!
As always, thanks for stopping by!
