Love Notes

Last February, I decided that I would write Don some special little "Love Notes" each day until Valentine's Day. So I took a package of the red foil hearts that you buy at Walmart and wrote a little note of gratitude and love on each one. Then I would put one out each day until Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day I wrote a special letter and included the list of all of the little note's messages. Much to my surprise, but to my great joy. Don started reciprocating by writing me notes on 3x5 cards and leaving them all over the house. I started using colored 3x5 cards and Don using white 3x5 cards.

Everyday for the past nine months we have written little notes to each other and left them around the house for the other to find. It has been such a blessing in our marriage. We write compliments about what we saw the other do, say or how they helped someone. We express love and support and joy about being eternal companions and missionary companions.

If you are ever looking for a way to express love to your spouse this is a wonderful way. These little notes will forever be a part of our marriage. They are so important that we packed them with our family pictures and journals, when we evacuated for Hurricane Gustav.
