How do I express deep, speechless gratitude?! This morning I was the recipient of hearing my husband's alarm go off before mine. This was followed by him actually getting out of bed before me, followed by his meandering into the kitchen, followed by my sleeping in and him making breakfast. We don't normally have a formal breakfast so this mornings thoughts were all the more punctuated with love. Jon proceeded to call me into the living/office/kitchen/dining room for breakfast with the question "protein or sugar?" My baffled, still half asleep, groggy self (with a minor headache) stumbled through the six foot hallway where I was promptly told to close my eyes. No problem! Eyes shut, I hear a plate placed in front of me. I thought I might have to peel my eyes open, but managed to see a heaping plate of strawberries and cream burrying a mound of angel food cake. I think I sat there for about a minute jaw-dropped. From the bedroom I thought he was making pancakes and couldn't figure out why the mixer was running for so darn long. I delighted in my WONDERFUL breakfast topped with a dash of love and sadly had to scurry out the door to class. From what I can tell, Jon was thrilled with my speechlessness. He just kept telling me that he loved me and just wanted to show it. That was more than communicated to my tired little soul! I think one of the best parts about this morning was that lastnight when he stopped at the groccery store he was thinking of all of this. He was completely intentional about making sure I had my comfort food (good 'ol mac & cheese) as well as a beautiful start to my day that just happened to be our wedding dessert.
What a man!
