So today i though I would share a tradition in my house. I know a lot of people in the UK have chocolate advent calenders but my darling husband and I have this wooden one. Each year we take it in turns to hide gifts and sweets behind the doors for one another. We get to open a door every other day. Usually it is a little chocolate or something similar. But 2 years ago I got the best surprise of my life.
First thing you should know is that I love stars. I just think they are the most cheery shape. The second thing you should know is that I am a bit of a fool and like to kid around A LOT!
So 2 years ago when it was my turn to open the star door I made my husband pick me up in the least lady like way possible with my arms and legs spread into a star shape so I could open my door. I feel inside and cant feel anything. I am too high up to see in so I am wondering where is my chocolate.. I cant believe he forgot to put one in. Then all of a sudden I feel something small and circular, while still holding me in a star shape I hear a little voice behind my ear asking "Will you marry me"? Of course I start wiggling and screaming in all the excitement. "Yes of course I will marry you" he puts me down had we hug so so tight. It really was the perfect proposal, just the two of us at home together such what a wonderful surprise. Then last year he hid a tiny star charm behind the door to celebrate the day he proposed to me which was so lovely and unexpected. But this year we have swapped doors so I have to find something to go behind the star door. I really feel like the pressure is on. I also have no clue as to what I can do. Sooo if anyone reading this has some ideas please do share with me and I am at a loss. Hehe! When we get the that door I will have to tell you what I came up with.
