Why Max is Full of Win and Awesome

To all those who are going to complain that this is a sappy entry...Suck it, Trebek.


This week has been very stressful due to some family emergencies happening that I'm not wanting to go into right now. Also, work catch up and general exhaustion from the last two weeks of GO GO GO! So when our anniversary rolled around yesterday I pretty much knew both Max and I were going to be too tired and drained to really do anything. Didn't bother me much at all. I figured it would be a nice relaxing night sitting on the couch watching TV, which is really all I was focusing on while work was widing down.
Max and I chat online while at work. Nothing major just  "Whats up?" "How's Work?" "What do you want to do for dinner tonight?" The usual.
Since I was stressed Max asked me what I wanted him to cook tonight. He told me to name it and he'd cook it up. I wanted comfort food. So he gave me a long list of things that we consider comfort food...and then included Midget Surprise.
When I asked him what exactly what Midget Surprise was he replied "Well its a Midget...with a SURPRISE!"
Yeah, I opted for tomato soup and grilled cheese. His creamy tomato soup is amazing. It is  my favorite comfort food in the whole wide world. Hands down. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $100.
He said sure then we both got back to work.

The day finally ended after several tourists yelling at me because it was raining. I had a murderous commute (seriously...I almost followed a douche bag off the freeway so I could find him and punch him...I didn't of course) then made it home in the pouring rain more or less looking like a washed cat.

Max was finishing up the sandwhiches when I walked through the door. He had our song playing and I realized he put our wedding music CD on the PS3. He had cleared the gaming table off and set it up for a candle lit dinner. He even took out the good china for it. And he bought a bottle of wine that was on our wedding year (2008) and had it set out on the table. 
And I cried like a friggin' baby.
And his response was to just smile in that Max way and say 'Yeah...I'm full of surprises.".

 I smacked him for making me cry*. Then kissed him, then smacked him again for good measure*, then told him how happy he made me and cried some more and hugged him until my stomache started to growl.
So we had tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches on the good china with wine and it was the best meal in the freakin' world.


Best Anniversary Evar.

* Please note that the smacking was not a hard smacking but a light delicate smacking of love.
