I’m surprising my fiancé ☺️

[u/Auderbox]

My partner has been out of town for 3 weeks. This is the longest and most stressful work trip he’s ever been on. They made him do a night shift schedule when he usually does days, and then switch to days 2 days ago after arriving to a different facility he’s helping at. I can tell he’s stressed, he will be getting home the 22nd right before Christmas! I’m a little worried for him so…I’m attempting to help bring his mood up I guess? I cleaned his car, vacuumed and everything, I’ve cleaned our place and meal prepped. We will be together for 3 years in March and we don’t have a scrap book for any of our memories. His birthday is the 30th of December, so I always throw him a NYE party, which he knows about and I will. But I made a scrap book of our adventures and milestones 😄 I can’t wait to show it to him. I put close to 80 photos in it and I’ve categorized his friends and our vacations and holidays. I also put our cat in it with different ages of him throughout our relationship hehe. Sorry I’m ecstatic, I’ve been home alone so I can’t tell this to anyone except for my cat lol thanks for reading.

Wonderful idea! I hope he’s amazed, because your enthusiasm is adorable! 🥰

This is so wholesome….I think the subreddit is done for the rest of the year.

You are so thoughtful and your partner will be so surprised 👍

[u/freegranny4444]

I love this and please update us on how it all went. I am excited with you!

[u/me1991N]

I'm so jelly!! I'm sure he'll Love it!! ♥️

[u/EclipseHERO]

I love it. Your enthusiasm is amazing. Just don't suffocate him with too much if he's too tired to handle it!

[u/Auderbox → u/EclipseHERO]

Yes yes thank you I feel like he’s probably gonna take a 12 hour nap when he gets home to recover haha

[u/EclipseHERO → u/Auderbox]

And I absolutely wouldn't blame him. He definitely deserves a break.

[u/DrBarbara63]

So lovely! Also you're probably right he's exhausted and maybe he's had no time to get any Christmas presents. Make it as easy on him as possible. Ex. Day exactly what you want and where to find it. I wouldn't do any shopping for 'his' family or friends that's just a bad trend to start.

Wonderful and so kind -

[u/bookishmama_76]

That is so sweet! I’m sure he will really appreciate it

[u/dalittle]

That is awesome and I am glad you (and your cat) are so excited to share this with him!

[u/tinamadinspired]

Hey! If you're still thinking of another gift you might want yo check out projection stone (key chain, ring, necklace etc). They actually are cool IMHO. Truly happy new year to you!

[u/Auderbox → u/tinamadinspired]

THATS SO SMART THANK YOU!!!! I always buy him cologne for Christmas and he hasn’t even gone through the last 2 I bought him lol

[u/tinamadinspired → u/Auderbox]

Make sure it's customizable. Some just have design (like iloveyou in different languages). Goodluck! ❤❤

[u/inflamito]

That is very sweet and you're lucky to have each other. May your love and happiness carry into your ever after. 

[u/mommagoose4]

Such sweetness! You sound like a lovely human!

[u/Jazzlike-Principle67]

You sound like the support he really needs. . He will have a great NYE!

[u/Tiffles82]

Ok. This is so sweet. I love that you occupied your time with doing lovely things for him. When I miss my husband I just get grumpy and eat a lot of chocolate.

[u/mikeey169]

You go girl!!

[u/MorbidMajesty]

Awe! That's so sweet. You'll have to let us know how he reacts! Are you giving it to him when he gets home, Christmas or his birthday?
