Bring Her a Bouquet of Flowers

This is what I love about my spouse.  He's not the kind of guy who loves to give gifts but he is very coachable and always listen when I say something that I love about.

I love romantic things and one of those I love are flowers.  Although my mom used to tell me all the time that flowers seems useless because they just wither right away.  But I don't know.  I just love flowers and it makes me feel more loved and cared for.

So girls and boys, if you love something, tell your spouse - just like what I did.  I verbally and literrally told my spouse, "I love to receive flowers all the time, once a week or once a month..."  and lucky me, he'll just smile or laugh with me or sometimes tell me, he will give me some flowers some time.  Although I wanted him to buy me those flowers right there at that moment and bring those beautiful flowers home.

Dave is amazing.  One afternoon, he usually goes home around 5:30pm and I got worried when he's not home around 6pm.  So when I called Dave one time where he is, he said that he just went for a gas or some excuse.  And when he got home about 6pm or 6:15pm, I was surprised when I opened our door seeing him with a bouquet of flowers in his hands - usually a bouquet of roses or a bouquet of lilies - Oh I love them.  He's so cute.

Thanks Love.  I just wanna share this romantic idea to all the married couples in Calgary or to all the people who love romance and/or who wants more romance in their relationship.

So have fun surprising your spouse with our romantic ideas.  Go get her/him some flowers! 

P.S. In Calgary area, my husband usually buys those bouquet of flowers in Safeway Mission area at 524 Elbow Dr SW 403-228-6141.  Actually any Safeway Superstore locations have flowers department and you can just drop by and surprise your spouse.

Surprise Your Spouse by Sending a Love Letter to His/Her Work

Okay, this is not my original idea.

This romantic idea of Sending a Love Letter to your spouse came from a book "1001 Ways to Be Romantic" by Gregory J. P.Godek.

Yes, it is very effective and very romantic.  When I read this idea from his book, I immediately picked out a "Romance" card, wrote some sweet nothings in there, and the next day mailed it with a domestic (Canadian) stamp.  I decided not to put my information or the sender's information of course because it's suppose to be a surprise "Just Because" romantic idea, right?  I mailed the Romantic card to his office and addressed it to him.

Yes, he was very surprised.  He had no idea who it came from.  When he opened the card, TTTAAAARRRAA!! haha

The Romance Card came from his lovely wife, myself ;) He texted me that he was so surprised and felt so loved when he received it.  He appreciated it so much that I was so inspired to do more of showing some love.. I know it's cheesy but it's real ;) love it! I love being married!

So now, you've got some great romantic idea from me (ok originally from Greg).. why don't you try it, surprise your spouse by sending some love letter or romantic card in his/her workplace.  If your spouse stays at home, send it from your work to your own house - just make sure he/she gets the mails before you do. HAHA.  Come on now!  No excuses!  I know he/she will surely love it!

Have fun!!! Keep sending some love out there!

Ming, Eat & Drink Restaurant in Calgary - Chinese restaurant but classy and stylish

It's really cool living in downtown Calgary.  We moved in to our 1 Bedroom Apartment on 5 St. & 18 Ave. SW this winter and since this is our first spring here in Calgary, this is also our first time for our romantic walk dates. 

Dave and I enjoyed last week walking and strolling around, trying to choose which restaurants to dine out with.  It's great to have the accessibility of everything and the varieties of great restaurants to choose from.

April 1, 2010 - we found a cool, classy, and romantic restaurant after going in to 2 restaurants (Ship & Ancor Pub and Bungalow Lounge) in the neighborhood, we settled for  Ming.Eat.Drink. located on 520 17 Avenue SW Calgary, AB (403) 229-1986; Mon-Sun from 4pm-2am.

Ming Restaurant has a great design; very modern but didn't fail to show their culture.  We love the atmosphere of the restaurant, it's quiet, relaxing, and romantic.  The food is good.  I love their appetizer, the Ginger Beef - yummy!  The one I chose for myself for main dish was something with pizza (I didn't remember the name).  It was okay but not excellent.  Maybe because I was expecting a different taste.  With my husband Dave, he chose the salmon burger with yam fries and it was good.  I know you'll ask what's for desserts but we didn't order because we're already full that we had to pack some pizza to go.  lol.



Anyways, a 1st time "a walk to remember" in our neighborhood downtown Calgary turned into another romantic date with my spouse <3 and we love it ;)  We're excited for more beautiful and romantic dinners to come.  It's surprising there's lots of great restaurants out there in Calgary, Alberta that we haven't gone to.

So what are you waiting for?  You can bring your spouse to an amazing and romantic dinner one evening this week and show her/him how much you love her/him.  Yes! Just surprise her/him!  Enjoy your alone time.
