Her birthday is tomorrow and I'm starting to get anxious. I found myself wanting to get her a card with some heart-felt words from me. My DB coach suggested that I simply get her a card and gift "from the kids".
After her appreciation of the cake I got her on Saturday (birthday dinner with her parents and our kids), I'm starting to think that she is perhaps more receptive to my acts of thoughtfulness than I had thought, even though they technically qualify as pursuit.
On Saturday night, she thanked me for the cake. I played it off by saying, "well our son did a great job picking it out".
Sunday morning, she took the time again to thank me via text.
"I want to thank you for getting me the birthday cake. That was very sweet and thoughtful (and obviously unexpected from my PoV)!
I simply replied, "You're very welcome".
