Miranda!!! What?!!! You are so awesome for sharing your the dates you planned for your hubby. They sound amazing. What a lucky hubby you have. Good luck with being a part for the summer. I really hope that it is over soon. I definitely know how hard it is to have a hubby gone! Keep the singing messages coming! Sounds like they were a hit with him!

My husband and I will be married 10 years this November, and before now the longest we’ve been apart since our wedding was one week. We are away from each other for the summer, as he is doing an internship in Michigan (the state where we lived until this March), and I’m at our new home in Virginia. He left on June 5, and will return home on August 18. We were unable to financially afford having me go to see him for the 4th of July weekend as planned, but we have taken turns planning dates each week. I was the first to plan a date, and here’s what we did:
We chose a recipe that we each wanted to make for dinner that night, and we made it together while chatting on Facetime. We then enjoyed our dinner together and each shared about our day. After dinner, we played a few games online.
Another fun date I planned that will probably be used even after he comes home was the date of dedication. We did this just last Saturday night.
We each have a Spotify account, and I’ve made a love songs playlist. We texted each other sweet messages, making sure to include the link to the accompanying song along with our dedication message. We both loved this date, and minus some technical difficulties with his computer and hotel internet connection, much fun was had for sure!

Speaking of music, I also did something completely on a whim to surprise him. Of course, I thought of this idea in the middle of the night, and I knew he left for his internship early in the morning, so I had to act fast! 😉 I love to sing. So, I decided to call his voicemail and sing the chorus to, “I Just Called to Say I Love You”. Admitedly, I was nervous, as this was his work voicemail. However, my nerves were gone when he texted me that morning to thank me for the sweet voicemail. 🙂 The next morning when I inquired further about his thoughts, my poor hubby went into work and promptly checked his voicemail to see if I’d left him another one! 🙁 Let’s just say he pouted all weekend, so I made sure to send him another singing voicemail on Monday morning! 🙂

Melissa- I am so glad you found this idea. I totally know how it is when your hubby is gone. Good luck and I hope you enjoy!

This would be a GREAT thing to do for us! I miss him a lot when he is gone and we never really dated in the traditional way before we got married, I would LOVE to do this!
