Romantic gestures for the win! 💐

We did it. And we were so good we almost made her cry.

It had been an awful day (what’s not to love about your medical recovery time being passed off as “doing your own thing” in a rather insensitive tone).

I turned on the Instacart app to do some deliveries with my husband, Josh (isn’t shopping the most fun side hustle ever!?).

The order read: $8, 6 items, 2 miles away.

Not too bad for a start. We accepted.

Grabbed the first item: a bouquet of hot pink roses.

Second item: a bouquet of tulips…sadly, they were out.

Third item: chocolate-covered freeze-dried strawberries.

WAIT! Holy God of flowers and chocolate! What does this basket sound like!?

You’re exactly right. We were smack dab in the middle of a young couple’s love story.

The bad news…half of their chocolate order was from a brand that hadn’t been stocked yet.

I texted the customer, “they’re out of tulips and this brand of chocolate, but would you like something else?”

This order should’ve taken 15 minutes, but 33 mins 15 secs in and we’re going back and forth with a mom who was trying to help her teenage son surprise his girlfriend for their 4th anniversary, online dating.

Supermom decided she would get an edible arrangement from a local shop, but we should help deliver the flowers.

I found a bouquet of yellow roses to add to the hot pink bouquet…this was about to be epic!

We arrived at their home in no time. This is when Josh pointed out that we looked like a professional romantic delivery service because we had on matching clothes, as we usually do!

Supermom said if we could say something nice on her son’s behalf and tell his girlfriend he loves her, she would raise our tip.

Hold the phone. She wanted to pay us to write a love note!? Could this day get any better!?

We pressed the doorbell and said into the camera, “delivery for Jane!”

Josh almost slapped the flowers behind me so I wouldn’t ruin the surprise. “They can see the flowers in the camera. Hide them!”

Jane comes out through a different door. I think her own supermom knew what was happening.

“Delivery for Jane! John wants you to have the prettiest flowers because you’re the prettiest girl in his world. He loves you, and happy anniversary!”

She squealed! “Oh my god, thank you! I’m gonna cry.”

SUCCESS! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 💯

We got to celebrate another young couple on their anniversary during our own one-year wedding anniversary.

And guess what? Supermom tipped us an extra $50 to get “something sweet on her” because we reminded her that there are still good people in the world.

Friend, I don’t know what has your smile upside down today. I don’t know what failure is eating away at your joy and making you feel like you’re not good enough.

But, I know that there is a whole world out there and you’re an AMAZING part of it. You’re someone’s reminder that good people still exist, and I’m confident that a day will come when you’ll look back and finally realize that you’ve done the great things you once dreamed of.

Till then, keep your head up. You’re valuable.
