Surprise!

He got me good on Wednesday. With a surprise that is. He was out on the patio cooking our dinner and I came out to visit him only to find him sitting at our new 3 piece patio set with a pleased Cheshire Cat smile on his face.


I love when he surprises me like that. It's just so obvious that he genuinely enjoys being able to get gifts for me/us and to surprise me with them. The smile in his eyes is a gift all by itself, it's one I spent many years longing to see. I'm overjoyed to see it now and often. My heart felt bursting with love as I watched him grin and wiggle with delight over the surprise.

We've enjoyed evenings just sitting out there while he grills our dinner after I get home from work. I'm looking forward to my first weekend of being able to enjoy breakfast on the patio in the morning sunshine. I've become a sunshine junkie in some ways. I crave it and I make sure to soak up a little every day if I can. I take pleasure in the feel of it on my skin with a fresh breeze blowing through my hair. If you take the time you can really smell life in the air at this time of year. It smells of fresh earth and green things growing, heaven.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to lots of patio time this summer and fall. Master even got us a bug zapper so our evenings won't be plagued with flying biting things. He calls it cheap entertainment. lol
