Little "thinking of you" surprises

This weekend is going to be a whirlwind for Josh and I, more specifically me I guess. Tomorrow I am leaving to go back to my parents so that on Thursday morning I can take off with my mom for our companies St. Louis Convention.

I will spend two days at conference and then I am booking home Saturday so that Josh and I can go do a few apartment showings in our future new town. (Please pray we find a place we love and can sign a lease!)

Traveling like that isn’t my favorite thing in the world, but it’s a crazy time for Josh and I, as well as my family, so we have to fit it all in.

One thing I do like about travelling is that I get to leave surprises around for Josh. (You may have seen the notes I left around for him the last time I was gone in a previous post).

I love doing little things for him that let him know I am thinking about him, and this quick trip is no exception. For the last few days I have been coming up with things I can do for him and I am pretty excited!

Now, since he is busy with school, I know he hasn’t been keeping up on my blog so I can share some of what I will be doing with you.

My first priority is cooking for him. Since I cook every night when I am home, I don’t want to skip a beat. So I have come up with meals I can prepare ahead of time and all he will have to do is pop them in the oven. For example, I will make him pre-prepped salads for lunches, taco meat for nachos/tacos, and chicken.

Another thing I want to do is bring back the love notes. Today I will write out a bunch of cute little notes and tomorrow I will hide them all around the apartment for him to find throughout the next few days.

The last thing I want to do is restart a fun thing we did while we were dating. We would have a lip-sync battle. One of us would pick a song and video tape ourselves lip-syncing it to send to the other person. And this would go back and forth. It’s super fun and an easy way to make the person you love laugh. Of course if you are up for it, you can all-out perform your song. (Maybe one of these days I will post one of the old recordings...)

I hope he likes my surprises!
