my honey surprised me!

I shouldn't have waited so long to blog. There is so much to write about. First off, I think this was the best Christmas break I've ever had. My parents, brother and I went to Wilmington NC to visit Gammy, Uncle Don and Aunt Ann. We had our second Christmas there because we didn't want to drag our presents down there so the night before we left we opened gifts at home. The whole time in NC I was looking forward to my trip to see Justin.

Its not like I didn't enjoy my family, but all I wanted for Christmas was to be with him. Christmas Eve I got a call from Justin. I hadn't heard him so angry before. His captain screwed up his days off and gave him the friday and saturday after Christmas off. I felt bad for him but was also excited to get to see him sooner. My family and I left early that friday morning for home. Justin was there when we got in taking a nap at Gma's. He had worked the night before and then headed straight for east TN. Bless his heart, he was so exhausted. He spent the night at the house then we left saturday morning.

[Justin got a digital camera for Christmas and I was playing with it in the car on the way up there].

Justin and I had decided that when we have our Christmas with is family, we'd keep back one special/big gift to give when we were back at his house. The entire month of December he'd been talking about this gift he was excited about and how he was working on it for weeks. I bugged him about it and he gave me one hint: wedding. Well, that could be anything. Justin also later added that I had to do a scavenger hunt to get my gift. So he told be right before we got into South Fulton that I couldn't come in to his house before we went to his mom and dads for supper.

I had told him earlier that I'd kind of like to meet Bailey, his new jack russell terrier puppy. I waited in the truck at his house while he ran inside to do who-knows-what. About 10 minutes later he stuck his head out the door and motioned me to come inside. I walked into the kitchen and noticed on the carpet rose petals trailing towards his bedroom.

The house was dimmly lit and I could hear music coming from his room. At the door to his room, I could see rose petals leading up onto his bed and tea lights on all his furniture. He walked over to the bed and picked up a bath and body set. He told me he wanted to make sure my stay there was relaxing and romantic because of my rough semester of nursing school. I couldn't help it, I grabbed him and just held on and kissed him. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man! Justin then walked to the dresser and picked up a Zales box that looked like the one my engagement ring came in. They was chocolate pearl earrings!!! And THEN he kissed me and told me he was going to run a bath for me and pour some wine! I was in shock! I mean he's a wonderful man and romantic, but I never thought he was this romantic! So I had a lovely candle lit cherry blossom bubble bath with a Shrek glass of wine. Hee hee...he had to put his own touch. There is lots more that happened while I was in his home town, but I'll leave the rest for another blog...Man I love my sexy cop!!!
