To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of our first meeting on October 23, 2004, I planned a surprise picnic for now-husband. I knew I wanted do plan something special and unexpected so I asked him to meet me at a neighborhood park. It's a beautiful park, only a small square block, but it has a little bridge and lots of big beautiful trees which provide an abundance of cool shade. To prepare for the picnic, I packed a blanket, a battery-operated CD player & CDs (this was before smart phones!), cooler, plastic wine glasses (it was outside after all!) in my car and stopped by the store to pick up snacks, sparkling grape juice and some "Happy Anniversary" balloons. I even bought him a particular DVD he had mentioned which I gladly drove across town to purchase. I set everything up at the park and awaited his arrival. He drove up right on time and was totally surprised and pleased as you can tell from the look on his face.
You, too, can plan something special for your partner/spouse! It just takes a little thought and planning. Listen to the other person. When the person mentions something he/she would like, write it down. I collect a list during the year so I have it come holiday time and don't have to wrack my brain thinking of what to get him. You can also peruse Pinterest for ideas about practically anything. If you want to plan something special for your partner/spouse but don't know how to start, contact me. I'd be glad to help!
