Today Sam and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary. I guessed that Sam would be exhausted since he was on call over-night on Friday and Sunday. I was prepared to make us dinner and relax on the couch together, but Sam completely surprised me!
He texted me that we should go out to dinner rather than me cook. Then he walked in the door with flowers from my favorite florist- 30 minutes out of his way home! Wow. Aren't they beautiful!?!
We decided to go to 'our place' The Cannery. We had drinks, we ate dinner and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. It was like old times, before second year of residency, back when Sam had energy and spark!
He drove me to dinner and told the whole while how great he thinks I am and how much he appreciates that he gives 110% at work (where he gets so little appreciation) and then can only give 20% at home and yet I am so supportive and understanding. I cannot even tell you how nice it was to hear him appreciate me! And to his credit, his 20% estimation is probably a little too harsh. I so appreciate being appreciated! Sam is such a sweetheart and nights like this one make being a ortho widow so worth it!
What a great way to start off our vacation to Tahoe- although it doesn't technically start until next week and Sam is fighting off a cold! What the heck, at least we have each other, a cold and a long rest of the week until our trip are nothing compared to that. :-)
