1. When was the last time you got flowers? Why?
Hmmm...it was probably before we bought our house 2 years ago...DH needs to work on that one!
2. How did DH last surprise you?
Hmmm...He did pretty well for Christmas. I was pretty sure I was just getting a Coach purse from the outlet (that I had basically picked out), but he also got me a camera. Neither of us is super spontaneous. Although, I do surprise him with my cooking on a regular basis..haha.

Most Friday nights we eat out/order in and then have a Tivo marathon. I just like the down time, snuggling, and a break from cooking.

2. How did DH last surprise you? Christmas, he got me some pretty awesome stuff in my stocking, including a re-usable knit coffee sleeve and a Glee CD!
