When He Didn't Expect It

For Valentine's Day, I really wanted to do something amazing for my boyfriend. I cut out 100 construction paper hearts, and I wrote I love you in 100 different languages on one side of each and a reason why I love him on the other side. I stringed these around and across his room with fishing wire so that they looked like they were floating. I made a HUGE homemade card out of a poster board that I painted on the outside, and on the inside I wrote him a really long, sweet poem. I hung streamers all over, spread confetti all about, and put balloons all around his room as well. I also got him chocolate lips and a singing gorilla stuffed animal. On his door, I put a decorated sign that said, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." I did this all before he came home from college that night, and it was just a few days after I got out of intensive care, so he wasn't expecting anything at all. The look on his face when he opened the door to his room and read all of the hearts, one by one, was amazing. He seriously couldn't speak for about 5 minutes. It made him feel so wonderful, and he still talks about it months later.
