In an effort to pay off our vehicles, student loans, and few small debts, the wife and I have developed a budget and have stuck to it for the last month. One way we have reduced our expenses is to limit the number of times we go out to eat each month.

My problem was buying breakfast and lunch every work day. Now, I grab something at home for breakfast and take my lunch to work. The problem is I WILL NOT make my own lunch. I don’t know why this is, but I have some mental block that prevents me from doing it.

Anyone that has been married any length of time will tell you that it’s the small things that really show how much your spouse loves you. For example, no matter how tired she is, my wife makes my lunch every day so that I don’t have too.

Now here’s is the problem. Because I am new to taking lunch, I run out of the house occasionally and get to work only to realize my lunch is still at home. Then I have to go buy lunch. Ugh. Well, I did this again last week so I decided to put a sticky not in my truck to remind myself. However, those things don’t stick anywhere in my truck. I even tried tape, no help.

This morning, I walked out to my truck to find the note pictured below. Yes, my wife is an elementary school teacher. Yes, I need this level of handholding on some things. Anyway, this is another example of why I love my wife and how I know she loves me.

What little things does your spouse do that show you how much they love you? (And Trey, keep it clean!)
