Candy Love Notes

Every morning I come to my desk for time with God, time to plan out my day, and to answer e-mails.  I am an early riser, which means I am usually up an hour or more before my husband.  When my husband gets up, he comes into the office, gives me a big hug and says, ” I love you today.”  I always respond with, “I love you – 2″.  This is my little way of saying, “I love you bunches more.” I love that this is our morning routine and feel blessed that we are given the chance to express this.  I know many couples who are up and out the door each morning with a quick peck on the cheek. 

Recently, my husband bought a bag of Valentine conversation hearts for our grandchildren. (Grandparents are allowed to contribute to future dentist bills.) This is the candy that has little sweetheart messages stamped on them. I opened the bag early one morning, and poured out the candy on paper towel to search for messages.  I’ve been a little gremlin this week leaving candy heart messages on my husband’s computer before he gets up in the morning.  It’s another way I’m finding to say, “I love you – 2″.

He got a chuckle out of yesterday’s message -

I Love You – Sugar Lips

Additional two-heart messages I pulled from the bag of candy are -

  • Guess What? – I’m In Love
  • Friend 4 Ever – Sweet Thing
  • I Want U – Honey Pie
  • E-Mail Me – You Flirt
  • No Doubt -   Head/Over Heels
  • Heart Throb – You’re Good 4 Me
  • Too Cool – You Flirt

I’ve been thinking that I should purchase a few more bags of candy hearts to surprise my husband with new love notes.  Hopefully, they have different messages.  I’m lucky he doesn’t like to eat them - I would be afraid of sending him into diabetic shock.
