10. What's the sweetest thing DH has done for you? I have a very hard time thinking of just one thing. He is a very sweet person by nature and is always doing selfless things for me. I would say that when I got really really sick this past summer, he surprised me at how attentive he was and made sure I had gatorade and soup whenever I wanted it.
Other than that, when we were in HS, he came over the Monday morning of exams and had my little brother, then 6, let him into our house. The two of them made my mom and I chocolate chip pancakes. He had a dozen roses on the table and hershey kisses leading from the stairs to the table... he was smooth even then.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
