Happy Canada Day!

YAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA! And I'm super excited about it this year!

1.) Stephan comes home today, and we are going to go see fireworks somewhere...I don't know where yet.
2.) This is his first Canada day, and as a result its our first Canada day together! :)

3.) This post is now going to turn from Canada Day to my wonderful boyfriend...hey, it works...I'm spending Canada Day with him so I can talk about him, right?

I love Stephan! (ok, that's a little obvious, but I just thought I would say it). Here's why I love him - because he does things like this:

This is what I opened the fridge up to one morning a week or so ago

I know its empty, but I saved it so I could blog about it when I had a moment. I put it back in the fridge just to show you how I found it. He did this because he knows I have cereal every morning. It was super cute.

He's not the bring-you-flowers-kind-of-guy. But that's ok. I''ll take the cute little things he does, they just melt my heart. He's very observant and will remember something I like, or something I say and store it away for later.

Here are some things he's done:

1.) before we left Ontario, he knew I was really interested in Russia. He bought me a book on Russia's complete history from the very beginning to current times. Just because. There was no occasion or special reason.

2.) Once, I got called into supply teach really late, like 15 minutes before school started. I was rushing to get ready, and while I was getting changed he got together my lunch and packed it, and put it on the table with my purse and my keys. Just to help make things a little faster.

3.) He takes care of me when I'm sick. And I mean I get the full-out treatment. He makes me soup, tea with honey, warm milk with honey, a special bubble bath with certain scented soap that's supposed to be good for colds. And then he gives me a back rub with oil so I'm relaxed before I go to bed. He makes sure I'm bundled up and warm and that my feet are always covered and he puts (orders) me to bed. Then he'll check on me throughout the day/evening.

4.) After EVERY meal I cook him, even if its nothing fancy, he thanks me, and he tells me he's proud of my cooking and gives me a kiss. And then he helps me with the dishes.

5.) He doesn't really care about going to Spruce Meadows...he doesn't dislike it, but I don't think he loves it the way I do. But he goes, and he even suggests it himself because he loves watching how happy I am. I'm watching the horses, and he's watching me. And he's happy because I'm smiling, and that's what's important to him. He loves to see me happy.

6.) I love that Stephan is tall and I can curl up into his arms. He looks like this big tough German guy with his tattoos, height and broad shoulders. He could be very scary to a stranger in a bar. But he's so gentle and careful, and he's not at all what I expected from the first time I saw him. He treats me like I'm made of glass.

There's a lot more, but too many to remember. I'll blog them as I think of them, or as they happen.

So this is for Stephan: I miss you babe, I love you and I can't wait until you are home in a few hours. I can't wait to spend Canada Day with you and see the fireworks, there's no one else I'd rather be with!! LOVE YOU!
