For our anniversary, the Boy bought tickets to South Pacific at the new Winspear opera house. If I ever find myself doubting his affection for me, I will simply look back at that moment last night, when I opened the card, the blue and white tickets slipped out onto the counter and I realized, the man I love just dropped some serious cash to do something he will hate every moment of. Because he loves me.

This made my heart happy.
This made me smile inside. Congrats!
that is EVERYTHING.
He’s definitely a keeper!
Last night I took my husband to see Star Wars: In Concert for his birthday. Star Wars doesn’t really do it for me but he loved every minute of it. Best $140 I have ever spent.
Happy anniversary.
You got a good one!!
Do you think boys come this way, with software just waiting for the right code and once they find it (her) it’s South Pacific tickets forever? Or is this something that can be learned or taught? I only ask because as the older sister I try to teach my kid bro’ about the “flowers for no reason” rule and so on. But I wonder, is this something he’ll just get when the right girl comes along? Should I keep on him so he doesn’t let the right girl get away?
That is wonderful! my husband did the same thing last year. He know I love James Taylor and he is a metal head, well he took me to and sat through a JT concert, now that is Love.
Aww – he’s a keeper! But those musicals are fun.. I don’t think he’ll hate it! They can be pretty entertaining.
What a wonderful guy!!!!
And you never know, he might just enjoy it in spite of himself, lol!
Um, Heather, can you clone him and send the copy to me in Seattle please? Thanks!
(Happy anniversary! I hope you love the show!)
Awwww! That is so sweet!! Enjoy both the performance and the realization that he did that something extra nice and special for you!!
Umm, yes. Yes, you have an amazing man. If he got you orchestra seats, you should go make out with him again. Like, now!
I remember that moment for me. Except it was Erykah Badu tickets.
wow, going with you to an opera house to watch south pacific…. the boy is in love.
keep him

Your boyfriend is better than mine! (Sadly, mine is still imaginary
Okay, sorry to be the one to say this, but…
vomit.
I am a very loyal reader of your blog, but it this is becoming too much for me. Crock pots, South Pacific tickets? You’re only a step away from matching jogging suits. And you’re probably happy about it.
Stop the madness.
Butterflies,
You have mistaken loyal readership for an excuse to be nasty.
Heather
geez Butterflies – why don’t you stop being the single bitter “friend”. Just be happy for Heather that she’s happy and that she wants to share it. I’m sure suicidegirls has a blog that you can read.
Oh Heather – please please ignore the trolls!!! Remember the last time this happened, with the ‘my boyfriend is better than yours’ comment? One (momentarily) sad, lonely reader made a comment like this one and you took it personally. Your loyal readership unfortunately includes of a contingent of “misery loves company” single women who feel less frustrated and alone when they read the public tales of woe of other women. A small subset of that contingent will therefore feel pissed off and rejected (and even MORE frustrated) when you find love. You have every right to flaunt it and there are plenty of other dating blogs they can read to get their fix. I used to be one of them so I understand the mentality- and met my current live-in beau the same time you met the Dork Lord, so I am more loyal now than ever as we follow the same path. Please realize their being nasty is a reflection on them, not you. We heart you.
Awwww… my heart just skipped a beat.
Lucky Giri!
Happy Anniversary!!!
Ive been following your blog for about 4 years now and I am so glad to hear that you found happiness with your man. I cant wait to someday read about your wedding & children.
You lucky SOB… enjoy!
Wow, that’s the sweetest thing ever! If only I could find a guy like that….
The married version of this is season tickets to the opera. Then you can fill your calendar with the love/pain moments.
Sorry, I have to agree with Butterflies (I’m engaged to a great guy so no I’m not lonely, bitter, or jealous). I stopped reading your blog when it got all gooey. I wanted to stop in to see if you’ve had some new adventures (like your old New York days and like your trip through Europe), but I can see that this blog is officially lame.
Why do you bother to preface your comment with “sorry” when you have every intention of being unapologetically insulting and rude?
