Walker and I had only been together a few weeks when he finished his second year of law school. I wanted to get him something to congratulate him and show him how proud of him I was, but we hadn’t been dating very long so I didn’t want to get him anything too over the top. I decided that making him cookies would be a sweet gesture but not too aggressive. We had planned a date night to celebrate and the entire day before I was telling him how excited I was to give him his gift. When he came over to pick me up for our date, I realized I had way over sold the whole “gift” thing. Thankfully, he didn’t feel that way and we can laugh about it now. They’ve quickly become his favorite (and his roommates’). He loved the cookies and now I make them for him all the time.
