Gift Suggest

It doesn’t snow in California and no one ever bothered to tell me. I moved there to live with my grandma who’s sick and all and I figured I’d get to see the sea and just assumed that if it snowed in Chicago, there wasn’t any reason why it shouldn’t snow in California (since they’re both in the same country).

So basically I’m a 28 year old living in California for the past four years waiting for it to snow and the chances are not good. The closest thing that I saw to real snow was on Valentines Day last year. I never really realized how much I complained about the weather until then. My boyfriend gave me a huge snow surprise on valentine day. Winter usually starts off with me whining about the fact that there’s no snow until I drive my sick grandma up the wall.

My boyfriend takes me along when he goes valentines shopping and just asks me to pick whatever I want for a Valentines Day gift. He says it saves him the trouble of scouting out Valentines Day gifts for me himself and guarantees I get what I want. Even though I tag along I still tell him how completely unromantic it is. So last year he said I didn’t have to come and he’d go hunting for romantic gifts for women and I had to like whatever he got. Three days before Valentines Day and I began to think just how awful his gifts could turn out.

On Valentines Day my boyfriend announced that we’d be having dinner in his backyard and even though I smiled and said it was romantic I was thinking ‘Major lame’ in my head. The valentines dinner turned out to be really great. He made it a snow themed thing and rented a snow machine so that when I walked out to the table it was snowing. Even some of the food followed the theme, like the box of chocolate covered strawberries that was covered in coconut. It was so delicious and chocolate strawberries tied in with the theme just perfect! I never knew my boyfriend’s romantic and creative.
