My hubby is very romantic, but was especially when we were first dating/married. One of my favorite nights was where he surprised me with the kids staying at friends. I was out with a friend until duskish (a plan I later found out) and when she brought me home, he had a "campout" set up in the back yard. Candles were everywhere and the firepit was going. We listened to our favorite music, made hot dogs and smores, and he even had a blender hooked up outside for our favorite drinks. It was so much fun. We even slept in a little tent (until the bugs got us). When I went inside, there was a little lantern lit and pictures of us were taped everywhere inside. That is an evening that I will carry with me forever. It stands out much more than the fancy dinners and expensive dates. I was so overwhelmed with the amount of thought that he put into it and felt totally loved. Just one crazy idea.

Love, Kelly
