We eagerly and happily went through the cards our first year of marriage. It was fun. Then we tucked them away.
A month ago, I was rummaging. I have a lot of rummaging to do around here. We have more stuff than space these days. Anywho, I stumbled across the aforementioned cards. I took them out and thought, "what better way to spice things up than with these cards." It's fun being wooed and having someone to woo. And these cards aren't necessarily "wooing" cards in that regards but it's doing little things for each other that don't normally come to mind (for some people...Mattias). So, we started with August...well actually we started mid-July but it wasn't a fair amount of time for Mattias to plan a trip for me to Copenhagen so I could enjoy myself like a queen. Therefore, we started with August. August meant that I was to bake cinnamon rolls (kanelbullar) for Mattias. I think they made a mistake on this card as chocolate balls (chokladbollar) are really his favorite but I made them anyway. I used a recipe in my recipe book that I've never used...I like trying new things...I'm that kinda gal!
Let me just say, they were sinfully delicious. They are cinnamon rolls, infused with homemade vanilla cream and then topped with a glaze and powdered sugar...double the sweetness!
He (we) enjoyed!!! And there is some nicely packed away in the freezer, believe it or not!
Here is the years worth of wooing:January: Mattias makes me a 3 course meal with candles to set the mood. Ooooh la la!
February: I plan a party for Mattias birthday...perfect for the coming year since he turns the 35!
March: Mattias plans a spa evening for me at home.
April: Take Mattias to a movie of his choice.
May: Mattias has to clean the apartment while I go shopping.
June: Mattias gets to go to a soccer game of his choice.
July: I get to go to Tivoli in Copenhagen and my wish is his command.
August: Bake cinnamon rolls for Mattias
September: Mattias does the laundry for the whole month. He had his first dose on Sunday and of course it was a whopping 8 loads!
October: Mattias gets to go to Karlskrona and party. You are probably wondering, who wants to go to Karlskrona and party... Alle, a good friend of his, birthday is in October so I think the whole idea is that he should go and party with him.
November: Mattais has to buy me all the candy I want during this month. DANGEROUS!!! This can get out of control.
December: Mattias doesn't have to go Christmas shopping if he doesn't want to.
