Huck is great about doing little unexpected things to make my day. He will leave me notes on my pillow, tell me I look nice on a day when I feel horrible, and little surprises in my car, like today.
I eat lunch at the picnic tables outside at work everyday, but today, it was too windy. I was talking to Huck as I got in my car and was really confused. There were all these pictures all over the steering wheel, dash, and ceiling. I asked him if he put those there before I left this morning (Like I could have missed that). He laughed at me and said he came by my work and decorated my car to help make my day a little better. I sat in my car for a while before noticing the balloon and card in the passenger seat.
How can you have a bad day with surprise pictures, balloons, and cards in your car? Be jealous … He is all mine!! :)
He is beating me right now in sweet romantic stuff. I have to catch up!!
For dinner tonight, I tried something a little different.

I don't think I could enjoy those grits just because they are grits. LOL But it still makes a pretty picture.
I'm not a fan of Grits either… But these were great! Anything with garlic and cheese has to be good though! Right? :)
