  • Boudoir...and a man that "gets" me.

    For Jamie's anniversary present, I decided to do a boudoir shoot and give him a book of photos.  One of my good friends here started her own photography business, and she takes amazing photos, so it was totally a win/win!  We did the shoot last Friday, and I'm so excited/nervous to see the photos!  I'm excited because I know she's amazing and they'll be good, but also nervous because I'm at the heaviest I've ever been in my life, and don't always feel very "sexy."   Oh well, hopefully she's a pro with angles!  I was thinking of giving Jamie a teaser shot for V-day, because they should be ready by then, but not sure if that would ruin the anniversary surprise.  Decisions, decisions.

    As for Valentine's day, this year we decided not to exchange gifts.  We sort of bought each other a house and all that, plus our anniversary trip to Hawaii, so we're dropping some serious cash this year.  Jamie asked me if I would mind if we didn't do gifts, which of course I didn't mind at all (honestly, finding something different, unique and special for him is like finding a needle in a haystack...exhausting.  Hell, I was HAPPY I didn't have to hunt him down a gift!).  But, I had already bought him a card, and was going to write him a nice note and all that jazz.  Honestly, I am SO incredibly thankful that he "gets me," because this is how our conversation went down:

    Jamie:  Do we mind if we not exchange gifts for Valentine's Day this year?  We sort of already spent a lot on the house, on Hawaii, etc.

    Me:  Dude, I don't care, that's totally fine with me.  HOWEVER, I have already bought you a card, and I expect one in return. Write something sweet and nice!

    Jamie:  Duly noted.  

     

    I asked him later if he minded that I was so upfront with him about what I expected out of the holidays.  He came back and said that he was glad he was with someone who would rather be open and honest with expectations, instead of expecting him to read my mind about what I wanted.  This way, he knows.  Thank god he gets me, because I think some men would be less than thrilled with that little verbal exchange.  And for that, he'll get sex...because he gets me.

    How was your weekend, my favorite readers?

     

    XOXOXO,
    K.

  • The worst is when you tell your man exactly what you want (just a card and nice note) and you don't even get that. It's more of a letdown when you verbalize and get ignored. Ignore my pity party here :)

  • @ShamrockLover - aww, I hope he surprises you this year!

  • @ShamrockLover - me too! Can I msg him an anonymous note? Lol
    And I'm sure you looked fabulous!!! I love taking boudoir pictures

  • I don't think you should give him a teaser........I do think it would kind of ruin the surprise. I've always felt Valentine's Day was a bit overblown but that is probably because I've never had anybody to share it with.

  • @heckels - Yeah, I definitely think it's overblown as well, which is why we never really do anything for it (except exchange cards, maybe small gifts).  We'll probably go out to a nice dinner that weekend, but that's about it. 

  • I love how you guys can be so open. I think its better that way because like he said, he cant read your mind!
