My husband and I first came acorss the SHMILY story in a couples devotional I picked up at the goodwill. We are newlyweds and are committed to always showing each other how much we love each other and so We both loved the story so much. My husbands job keeps him away from home for 2 4 weeks at a time, and so its all the more important for us to express how much we love each other, and often.I made several SHMILY cards with personal messages about what I Iove about him (his kindness, his smile, his Godliness, his wonderful hands) and littered them throughout his suitcases, putting some in pants pockets, tucking notes into the top of his shaving cream can and taped to the back of his shampoo bottle. And stuck into his laptop bag. I was so tickled to think about him finding these little notes throughout the month.After taking him to the airport I returned home and went for the fridge to grab a pepsi, and imagine my surprise when I found a card sticking out of the 12 pack box with S.H.M.I.L.Y. A few days later in need of a chocolate fix I went to my “stash” When I opened the wrapper on a miniature chocolate I saw writing, Sure enough he had unwrapped the chocolate, wrote SHMILY on the inside of the wrapper and wrapped it back up. Two weeks later at work I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, and the card simply read SHMILY. He is so wonderful and I can’t wait to find more ways to show him just how much I love him, and am anticipating that creative ways he will show me.
