Dear Romance Writer,

Next month will be mine and my wife’s eight year anniversary. We have a pretty great relationship and I’m wild about her! We used mark our anniversary with adventures, thoughtful gifts and gestures and surprises galore. Cut to now...we have a two year old, work, are getting ready to move, juggling a million projects, and one year into the pandemic and we’re exhausted. I REALLY want to show her how special she is but I’m out of ideas or energy to pull something off. What do I do??? 

Sincerely, Wrench in Romance
