  I am usually up before FI also.  He is about once a month...if that.  I get ready in the bathroom and before I leave...I always wake him a bit, tell him I am leaving, tell him I love him and give him a kiss.  He sometimes ask what time it is (only if his alarm has not gone off yet) to see how much more time he has to sleep. Sometimes I tell him important information but he seems to forget it because he never ends up doing what I ask.  His excuse is that he is sleeping

  After he complained for the fiftieth time that I'm so grouchy in the morings, FI brings me a cup of coffee when I get out of the shower. 
  
  He says it reduces my grouch factor.  And after he does something so sweet for me, I only want to be sweet back to him.  So everyone's happy.

  Awww.. I wish I got coffee in the morning!
  
  My FI works weird work schedules so 9 out of 10 times he is still sleeping when I leave. He NEVER hears my alarm which is crazy to me. I get ready in the bathroom except for when I grab my clothes and then I usually try to kiss him goodbye. Unfortunately he never remembers it so sometimes I just skip that and tell him "Yes I kissed you goodbye but you were sound asleep!'
  
  On the few days where he gets up before me, he makes sure I know it. He bangs stuff around, leaves the lights on, and shakes me awake to say goodbye. Annoying, yes. He does it because he's so "jealous" I'm still sleeping. If only I got the luxury of napping like he does!

  For the past couple years when FI stayed over at my place he would get up about an hour earlier than me to beat traffic. He would get ready in my bathroom and then give me a kiss and an I love you before he left.
  
  Now, I actually requested he says goodbye to me when he gets up, because I can't fall back asleep otherwise. His closet is in another room and his bathroom isn't off our bedroom. He rolled his eyes and said forget it. Now he just gets up and goes. I just didn't like being woken up twice since I have issues with my sleeping, I usually need all I can get.
  
  We do always give each other a hug and kiss when he gets home from work though.

  DH starts work an hour before me so I'm almost always in the shower when he hits the road.  He pokes his head into the shower to give me a smooch before walks out the door.  I'm sure that is the only reason he looks in the shower too.  lol. 
  
  We also ALWAYS text eachother "P.S. I love you" in the a.m. sometime.  (I know, gag.  Whatever!)  DH actually goofed and sent my morning text to my sister on Monday and I haven't had a chance to talk to her to hear what her reaction was to that!

  We're not very romantic in the morning.  We used to try to work out together in the morning.  He would wake up and eat breakfast, then check his email.  Then he'd get me up, and we'd work out together.  Then he'd shower while I was either eating breakfast or going back to bed.
  
  Now I have to wake up too early to get to class most mornings so our workouts have suffered.  It's pretty much just wake up and get ready while he's still asleep.
  
  But no matter what, when I leave I always give him a kiss, tell him if I fed the animals or not (we had to start doing this cause we'd both get home from work sometimes and realize the poor dog was starving), then I say "love you" and leave.
  
  When he leaves before me, it's similar except he usually leaves the bathroom fan running (soooo annoying if I'm trying to sleep).  He kisses me goodbye, "love you" then leaves.  Then that usually involves me yelling at the door as he closes it, "Did you feed the animals???"  So romantic.

  Oh mornings are so romantic... I get up before FI. I stage my clothes in the bathroom the night before so he can sleep a little longer without me banging around in our room. Then when I am done I go wake him up... three alarms isn't enough, he needs the lights turned on and me to come shake him. Then after I get my typical caveman responses for the few basic questions I ask him... good morning, how did you sleep... then we do the I love you, kisses, I tell him to stay out of trouble, then I tell the dog to stay out of trouble, then we tell each other to have a good day and drive safely. Then he tries to squeeze out a few more minutes of sleep before he gets out of bed at the last possible second!

  H kisses me before he gets up (he gets up 90 minutes before me), and then again before he leaves.  He'll also tell me if our dog didn't do his business, so I know to make him try again when I take him out before I leave.
  
  Then he sends me my "good morning" email once he gets to work, and I send him mine.  We've been doing it for years.  I could do away with the having to let him kiss me at 6:30 every morning, though.  I'd prefer to stay sleeping.

  Mornings are extremley chaotic in my home. I wake up at 5:30 walk into my sons room, wake him up, go in the bathroom and start getting ready, midway through I go to my daughters room, wake her up, she runs out of her room and climbs in bed with FI. After snuggling for 5 minutes I get her dressed and we are all out the door by 6:00.  Thank god I am a morning person.
