Happy Valentine's Day


Kevin and I decided (at least I thought we had) to not celebrate Valentine's Day this year. It's not that we think it's a silly holiday, but rather we have another special day that is very close to it. February 12, 2005 was the day of our first date. So on Thursday, the 12th Kevin arrived at my work with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. I felt very loved, and special. But then, on my lunch break he gave me a card. It was so sweet, I cried. We planned our weekend in such a way as to avoid crowds. So, of Friday evening we stocked up on food and even bought a new waffle iron for this morning. When we came home from our shopping, Kevin informed me that he had another small gift for me. I closed my eyes and waited, until he brought out a box of chocolates. This was no ordinary box of chocolates. He bought an entire box of See's Butterscotch Squares! They are my favorite See's truffle, and I have often dreamt of having a whole box of just Butterscotch Squares. Somehow Kevin remembered this, he is too good. I thought "wow, I suck. He has already surprised me three times, and I didn't even buy him a card." Well this morning when I woke up I was looking forward to opening a card from my other Valentine, my dad! Which by the way, my dad has given me a Valentine's Day card every year for as long as I remember! (If you're the father of a daughter, you should really ask him for tips- he's been the best dad a girl could ask for.) Anyway, when I picked up my dad's card, beneath it was a red envelope with a card from Kevin! So this morning I read both cards, both of which made me teary again. So, Kevin-4, Melody-0. Well, I did make homemade waffles this morning so maybe that's Melody-1. I hope you all feel loved today!
