Love, bubs and life on our little farm

Readers of this blog will probably have gathered that I have been so lucky to marry a particularly romantic man. Even eleven years into our relationship, he will arrive home with a bunch of flowers spontaneously or organise a surprise weekend away.

What I love is that the romantic gestures aren't necessary - we have a great relationship and the little things he does, like quietly wash-up every single night so I can rest my broken finger or care for the girls alone for hours so I can have "me-time" with the horse, are the gestures that make me feel like I fall even more and more in love with him.

However, the icing on the cake is his generosity.

So there I was last night, slumped on the lounge exhasted after a hens party the night before and an interstate trip home, looking terribly unglamorous and rather suspicious as he emerged from our bedroom with his hands behind his back and a strange rattling noise coming from behind him. I was not in the least expecting the lovely jewellery box from my favorite jeweller that he whipped out and announced that it was "just because" present.

My "just because" present

A ruby and diamond necklace that he bought to match my new red and white Cue dress that I had just bought for a weekend away beach wedding. I had been agonising over my accessories as I don't wear a lot of red. And it is just perfect. He really does shop nearly too well for a straight man!

It was the most beautiful end to a gorgeous weekend. And its kept a smile on my face into the working week. Love my husband and love his amazing spirit.
