This will be my view later this afternoon.  I had a great birthday, it was tons of fun.  Saturday morning I woke up, however, to a painful mouth.  Thanks to my wonderful dental insurance, I couldn’t get in until today.  Yee-haw!

A few of you haven’t been around since the last time I posted the rules of Monday Morning Amour:

1. Decide what romantic thing you’re going to do for your spouse this week. Could be anything. From as simple as giving a foot rub to planning a romantic date, to planning a romantic vacation, the idea is for you to do something.

2. Let us know what you’re going to plan by leaving a comment below. If you want it to be a surprise, then just give a general idea (I’m planning a date), or, if it will help you get rolling, leave as much detail as you want to.

3. Let us know what will motivate you to make sure it happens. Plan a reward for yourself, or plan consequences if you fail, but make sure that it happens! My goal as A Good Husband is to help inspire all the guys out there to go the extra mile, and, even more so, to make sure that I go the extra mile. I want my wife to know that she is incredibly special, and this is a great way for me to do that.

My dear wife really went the extra mile with me this weekend.  She helped my party run smoothly, took care of me, and made some delicious squash soup.  She deserves something special.

Unfortunately, I’ll probably be out of it for the next day or two.  I think flowers are in order, what do you think?  If I don’t do something nice for her…I’ll blame it on my raging toothache.
