We crave that feeling, but how often do we make our man feel special?
They deserve that feeling too! They deserve to be the center of attention!
If your poor like me, (can I get an amen?) you can't simply go out and buy your man a brand new four wheeler or Rolex. BUT we can go out of our way in some more creative ways.
1) Brag about him
Nothing makes someone feel better than being reaffirmed with words. Post a status about him, give him a shout out on Twitter, or post your new favorite picture of him on Instagram. Tell you girlfriends why he is simply the best! Believe it or not you can even brag about him while he's listening, it's completely ok!
2) Make him a book
Making something homemade is always one of my "go to" ideas. Creating personal little books of memories and inside jokes will always bring a smile. Some easy ideas you could use are an "ABC book of our love" or a "52 Reasons why I love you." Pintrest is full of simple and thoughtful DIY that your man will love!
3) Leave him little notes
They will keep these forever! It doesn't matter if your married, dating for two months, or engaged leaving a note for your man reminds him that you're thinking of him and they need to know that!
4) Kiss him on the forehead
It's innocent and sweet.
5) Surprise him
Ladies you know your man! Give him a surprise that's just for him! If that means YOU ask HIM on a date to the new hit action movie then do it, or you could simply rub his feet after a long day. Go out of your way and do something that he will not be expecting, it will make his day!
As you can see it doesn't take hundreds of dollars to make your man feel special.
A year ago today Chris asked me to be his girlfriend and I readily accepted!
Now we're engaged and waiting for July 12th to spend the rest of our lives together!
This past year we have gone through such a whirl wind of events and crazy months, and I am blessed to have had Chris stand strong right there next to me.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words I figured I would share some pictures of our wonderful year together!
I am blessed beyond belief to get the honor to spend the rest of my life with this man who is also my best friend.
"Star light star bright, first star I see tonight..."
Can I just say that I love Disney. It has a special place in my heart, and since August 30th 2013, it has an even more special place in my heart.
*drum roll* I am now a bride to be! (insert squeal)
Chris and I met my parents in Disney World to help my Mom with an event she coordinates, we spent nine days in the most magical place on Earth and let me tell you it was magical!
The firsts day in Magic Kingdom was spent showing Chris all the magical attractions and shows and later that evening Chris had it arranged to take me to Cinderella's castle for dinner. Which was simply delicious! After dinner we met up with my parents, aunt, and little cousin to watch the Wishes Fireworks show in front of the castle.
(Note: It's hot and humid.)
While waiting for the fireworks to begin I will admit I was becoming agitated with the heat and the extremely tall person who decided to stand right in front of me. Remember I am only 5ft! But once the show started I was zoned in to the presentation.
The following is the conversation Chris and I had during the firework show...
Chris: "Hey Stephanie I have to ask you a question."
Me: "What?"
Chris:*gets down on one knee* "Will you marry me?"
Me: "Are you serious!?"
Yes he was serious!! It was perfect every aspect of the moment! My Mom snapped photo after photo, my Dad's eyes were watery, my aunt and little cousin were bursting with smiles, it is by far my new favorite memory. I am so blessed to be able to plan my future with Chris and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us in this next chapter of our lives.
In short my blogs are now going to have a lot more to share with the planning process, and all the new and exciting things that are on the brink of happening!
"...a world of wishes,
A world where dreams come true.
So make a wish, see it through.
Dare to do what dreamers do..."
I am simply bursting with joy to share all the excitement with y'all!
-Stephanie
