my electric heating blanket

If you live in the Northern MN like we do, if you don't already have one it must have crossed your mind to get an electric heating blanket.  We try to keep our temperature in the house warm enough in the winter but we still need to wear 2 layers of clothes.  During the day I'm never cold because I'm running around so much but for some reason, as the evening comes and I slow down I am freezing, especially right before going to bed.  So owning an electric heating blanket sounds really nice as you get under the cold covers.

Well, this winter I have my very own electric blanket - Ehren.  I must have complained about it enough but almost every night as we're getting ready to go to bed he lovingly jumps on my side of bed and warms it up for me.  Then when I get in the bed I can't help but give him a huge smile as he rolls over to his freezing side.  It just makes my heart melt that he'd do that for me again and again.  It's so sweet but partly I wonder if Ehren just wants to see my big smile because he's waiting for it every time. :)  You have to understand too, we sleep Euro style in our bed, which means we don't share a big comforter but have 2 separate blankets.  We love, love love having our own blanket and not fight over one as we do when we go somewhere, but it also means we have to mostly warm up the blankets with our own body heat, not sharing them.  So when Ehren warms up my blanket, his blanket is still Freezing cold, not like one big blanket would be. Which is why it means that much more to me that he does it.

I love being married, having someone to share our ups and downs with, someone to laugh with or yell with, having a helper and an encourager, and someone to warm my bed for me. :)  Stay warm wherever you are!
