A week or two ago, Luis came home with flowers for me... just because.
I LOVE just because!
I was watching Elder Scott's talk on marriage and was once again reminded how important all those "little" things are in marriage.
I love reading the blog Dating Divas (linked on my page) and finding creative ways to show Luis how much I love him. That's where I found the idea I'm blogging about now, "The All About You Basket."
(Read the original idea here.)
Start by creating a list of 101 reasons you love your hubby. Print them out and stick them in the back of a container.
Then, take some of those ideas and buy objects to go along with them. I tried to think up ideas of what to buy BEFORE heading to the store so I didn't wander around and around. Still, there were some ideas that came to me while shopping. It was so much fun coming up with creative - and cheap - ideas. (Plus, it has been my "quiet activity" for the past few nights as Luis studied for his final.)
I did end up spending more than I had originally planned, but feel justified because many of my items are necessities: toothbrushes, soap, clothes, silly string, etc.
Finally, put it all together.
Finally, put it all together.
This would be such a fun idea for a birthday or anniversary, but I couldn't wait, so I'm giving it to him
JUST BECAUSE!

Silly string is a definite need. You never know when a silly string fight will break out, and if you are not prepared, you will be very sorry!
You are both very sweet and thoughtful!!
That is really cute. I did something similar, "10 things I Love About You" While Stew and I were dating. You're a little behind on what's cool. :P
What a great idea, Ashley! Thanks for the idea...and the blog link. I'll have to check out these "Dating Divas."
Ha ha! I love how silly string is a necessity! You crack me up! I love your blog by the way! You are so funny and witty! :)
What a fun gift basket! I might have to copy you ;)
