Hii
Just a quick intro to you all since i've never posted here before - hello! I'm currently halfway through a degree in spanish and arabic in the UK, 5500 odd miles from my boyfriend, who lives in Mexico! We met on my gap year out there in 2009 and he's since been over once for christmas 2 years ago, whilst i've been over there 4 times since.
....so, to the point!
He's coming over for christmas again this year (yay! English christmas!!) and i'm going to pick him up in the airport and bring him back to the uni.
When he came over last time, it was all a bit weird for me (if you have ever been in that situation, you may know what I mean?) and I think I was very English and cold, greeting him with a quick hug and kiss (didn't help that all my family was there too).
So this time I want to make him feel like I actually DO want him here!!
But I can't think of any ideas.
For example, the first time I went back to Mexico he arrived with a dozen roses, and then had decorated his room with hearts made of felt with "i love....[insert attribute here] written on them as well as heart balloons and on the bed tons of petals spelling out our initials framed by a heart made of petals.
When I went back for christmas that year, just after my birthday, he had got a professional graffiti artist to write "I love [my name]" on the wall of his house, about the size of a car, with other drawings of things I liked or that meant something to us both - and his house is right on a main road so everybody who drives through sees it!!
When I went over this summer for his birthday I made it a suprise visit and got his friend to pick me up, and take me to a chalet where I waited in a nice dress with music that I had recorded on the piano playing in the background. His friends somehow convinced him to come out that night and tricked him into coming to the chalet, where I was waiting for him.
I want to do something perhaps not so grand but at the same time memorable!! But I have no ideas!!!
In any case, big ideas are VERY welcome as he'll be here for our 3 year anniversary and we have never been together for the anniversary (nor valentines day) so it should be something special
So far my only ideas are to make sure I arrive at the airport with some nice home-made biscuits, a bottle of water (always thirsty after flights!!), perhaps a beer or something, and a banner with his name/ I love you on.
I would love to prepare a meal, before anybody suggests that, but it's about a 5 hour train ride from the airport to the uni (involving a train, two tubes, a long coach ride, and then a short taxi ride) so I can't really do that! Plus we'll get in around 9 30 at night.
Please help!!! I only have a few weeks to plan this!! ))
Thanks and hello!
