Hey people!

Just looking for some ideas...maybe you can help? I was thinking about doing something special for the hubbs before nursing starts up this fall........I cant think of anything interesting/fun/romantic/special etc.....................to do! I pretty much put the guy thru h-e-l-l- stressing out , studying, clinicals, exams, papers, care plans... you knowwhat I mean;) so I want to do something just as a reminder that I appreciate all that he does for me.... Any neat ideas?

thanks

My husband grew up in a Children's Home -all the sibs were farmed out. He took a trip this summer before summer school to his sister's funeral and will be going back there after summer school and before I enter the nursing program. I'm trying to work out sending him out there for Christmas-they've never spent a Christmas together...I can give up one for him. I hope it works out and that he likes it.

When we were graduating, they had these certificates that you could purchase for your spouse that said something about "in dedication for putting up with all of the care plans, all nighters, stress, etc...in an effort toward my degree" and you had them put your spouse's name on it. I thought it was really cute and I bought one for my husband ($10 I think.) You could always do something like that for him, even in advance. Something he can hang up at his office or work area. This wouldn't be expensive and you two can giggle about it during periods of school stress...Just a thought. Good luck!

I took my boyfriend away for an extended weekend. I just told him to take certain days off from work and to pack his bags. He appreciated and loved the whole mystery vacation. We didn't go far but being away from the city relaxed both of us.

Something simple would be to surprise him with a nice dinner and lit candles all over the bedroom fo rthe after dinner event. LOL

I am sure that your hubby will appreciated anything that you do. Just putting time aside for him will make him realize that you haven't forgotten him with your nose buired in a pile of books.

Good luck!

Good ideas and suggestions.

I think a daily "Thank you" and "I appreciate what you do for me" helps too.

I read once that spouses want to feel appreciated, want to hear that they are appreciated.
