We exchanged gifts- I gave him a gift certificate so he could pick out a candlelight concert to attend. I am NOT engaged- he gave me a beautiful lapis lazuli stone ring, a beautiful locket that we agreed we would put a picture of us from one of my sorority formals into, and a really cute candle that smells like vanilla and looks like a tree trunk/branches with "My Name + His Name" carved into it. So cute  It was the first time in ages we didn't have to get up early so we talked until 3 am before we finally fell asleep. Saturday, we were meeting his mom and sister in East Lansing for dinner and to see MJ the Musical at Wharton Center. We drove home in an ice storm and that was pretty anxiety inducing. There was icy fog that kept icing over the windshield. We had the heat turned way up and blowing on the windshield and he was using a lot of washer fluid to keep the ice from building up and blocking his vision. We had to stop a couple times to refill his washer fluid. It was nerve wracking.
We didn't get back to his house until almost midnight.I woke up this morning and got ready to leave. I remote started my car because it had snow on it and then the ice from the night before and then more snow. He came to see how I was doing with getting ready to go and to ask if he could help with anything. I asked him to pack my keto snacks from the fridge and told him I remote started the car so it could start to melt. He opened the blinds and showed me that my car was already cleaned off. THAT is what I love about this man. That was so incredibly thoughtful. He's so kind to me. I had to time my drive home between the major snow squalls and thankfully my drive home was uneventful. |
Sounds like everything was wonderful, TKEguy wise. But that weather! I don't think I've ever experienced "icy fog" and I've lived in Michigan all my life. Sounds horrible!!!
One of my daughter's sorority sisters, who was from Atlanta, had no idea what the defroster button in her car was for until they had a big snowstorm and GenerallyGreek was schooling her on how to clear off your car. She was also totally unfamiliar with the practice of starting your car first so it warms up and makes the job easier. Also, her sisters were incredibly impressed with the long "scraper on one end/brush on the other" car clearing tool GG had -- "what is this incredibly handy invention with which I was previously unfamiliar?!!"
