What's Your Love Language?

A while ago, I read a book about the 5 Love Languages and how each person has a different way of understanding/receiving love. For example, i love surprises while my husband doesn't care too much for them so when I threw him a surprise birthday party 2 years ago, he loved it, appreciated it, and had a great time but it didn't have the same effect on him as it would have on me.

At first I felt so cheesy reading this book with all it's metaphors and terms like "filling up your love tank" but it has actually enriched our marriage after we truly understood what each others' "language" is.

The 5 Love Languages: 

Words of Affirmation 

Quality Time 

Receiving Gifts 

Acts of Service 

Physical Touch 

One of my love languages is receiving gifts. Now before you think i'm a selfish materialistic person, let me clarify that i'm not looking for expensive gifts (although, i wouldn't mind them. :P) but it's more of the thought that counts for me. For example, my husband knows that I love pocky and he'll occassionally surprise me with a box... it only costs $3.99 and i am one happy camper :) Like they say...

Happy wife, Happy life. ^___^

His most recent surprise: We don't normally celebrate Valentine's Day so I was very surprised when at the last moment before February 14th ended, he pulled out a sweet card and DOMO all wrapped up! What's more surprising is that it was months and months ago when I mentioned in passing that I thought DOMO is cute.... turns out he was listening. Hahaha! I guess we should give our significant others more credit ;)

Like an Episode Out of "Hoarders"...

  There's a bed under there, somewhere..... haha!

I hang my head low in shame as I reveal to you the state my bedroom was in for months up until last Friday. It starts off with "i've got so much to do...i'll put this sweater away later" until you eventually collect a mountain of clothing on top of your bed and you can no longer sleep on it. Haha! There was no urgency for me either because we have two guest bedrooms in our house that I could sleep in! Finally, with the help of my mom, I was able to pack and clean my room in preparation for moving and marriage - 2 MONTHS + 3 WKS AWAY!!! Eeeeek!

No, the rest of our house does not look like this, especially not my work area. I'm actually quite a neat person (hard to believe from that photo, right? haha) but I guess with packing and preparations, i slowly started neglecting the mountain of things that needed to be organized. Hey, at least you won't find any squished cats or 20 year old sandwiches anywhere.

Would your room be featued on "Hoarders" or in a funky home decor show?
