THE LONG WAY HOME
submitted by: Anita

Every year my Husband and I take turns planning
our Anniversary (our biggest date of the year). On our 11th Anniversary
it was my turn. I wanted to do something out of the ordinary. I planned
everything out perfectly!
First of all I took special care in picking out the clothing we were
going to wear. For myself I picked out a sexy black dress with 5 criss-crossing
spaghetti straps and for Him, black dress pants, white shirt and tie (he
hates ties). On the morning of our special date I ironed his clothes
after he left for work and I packed a bag for him. Before I went to
work, I dropped off his clothes and bag with a note in his truck at his
workplace.
The note in his truck said to go straight to his friend's house and take
a shower and put on the special clothes. Upon arriving at his friend's
house, he would receive another note that told him to drop off our son
(I had dropped off our son at the friend's house as part of the plan) at
Grandma's. Upon arriving at Grandma's he would receive his final note.
It told him to go HOME!
At home I had prepared grilled steak, shrimp, salad and veggies. Then I
had taken time to get dressed up. I had candles all over the place. I
also had went to the library and picked up a wedding song CD and had it
playing. The dinner was served in (my friend's) crystal dishes. The meal
was better than I believe we could have received at any restaurant.
After dinner we danced to the music and he hates to dance!!!
