I love when someone spends the time and thought to get me something they think I will like.
Most of the time though, I will be the one person who has an answer when asked 'what do you want for...(birthday, Christmas, etc.)'
I love surprises but it's not easy to get one past me.
I'm a snoop, and a nag, I just HATE not knowing things!
So when I heard Richard's Valentine's day plans for me, I thought, this is why I will marry this man.
A two night stay in a pet friendly room in Lincoln City!!
I adore my hometown, there is honestly a point on the way down that the air shifts. Like a aromatic welcome mat.
Secret spots... that hold memories of past friends, and friends that have passed.
My favorite restaurants all in one 7 mile radius.
Most of all? Spending that time with the one person I get to be with for the rest of my life. Truly an amazing gift.
Okay, Rich does have some other plans during the day for himself, but that just means I get to spend those hours:
Gazing at the ocean
Walking Dozer on the beach (he has never been!)
Watching daytime T.V.
Visiting some {all} of my favorite restaurants and 'secret spots'
Blogging
Photography-ing
Possibly some shopping - I should probably get a thank you gift for my love!
Probably a lot of pajama wearing
Added Bonus*
The hotel has a french press, free waffles each morning and massage options. If I were a crayon I would be 'tickled pink'!
Not only did he get us a beautiful hotel room, he made sure I could bring my puppy! Which means, I will probably feel too bad to leave Dozer alone at all (darn, being lazy with the best cuddler in the whole world).
I am always talking about the memories, how things are just things, and that they are replaceable. This getaway is going to be full of moments for us to look back at and love.
