Kevin and I had tickets to a hockey game on Valentine's evening, so we had already decided that we'd celebrate with a meal later in the weekend. We didn't talk much about gifts, but since our first Valentine's Day together, I've made him a photo collage each year and framed it. Each year it highlights how many months we've been together and includes photos from the previous year. This year, I couldn't add our married months to our dating months, so it was 44 + 4! YAY! We've already been newlyweds for 4 months!
As for a gift from Kevin, all I wanted was flowers. And they didn't even have to come on Valentine's Day. Since we were going to dinner on the weekend, that would have been a perfect time for flowers!
Valentine's day morning, Kevin woke up super early and said he was off to the store and he'd be back. I knew it was Valentine's related, but I didn't know what he was up to. When he arrived back home, he urged me to hurry up getting ready and get downstairs because my surprise was getting cold. This immediately made me think he had gotten me a Starbucks treat! I finished my morning routine and rushed downstairs to find my surprise...flowers and a Starbucks, right...and there was nothing. I couldn't find anything. I ended up in the kitchen and in front of my lunchbox was a bo-berry biscuit in the shape of a heart (my hot treat) and a beautiful card. He never ceases to surprise me. Well, he was beside himself and has been talking about it ever since...how excited he was to get me a bo-berry and how he couldn't wait for Valentine's morning so he could race to Bojangles to fetch it for me! I just love him!
Off we went to work and my entire day was spent signing for a receiving large bouquets of flowers for the Saint Mary's School girls. I had not been previously warned and it really was like working in a flower shop! Arrangement after arrangement came in and I e-mailed girl after girl for them to pick up their flowers. As I was walking back to my desk from lunch, I checked my phone and there was a text from Kevin saying that I had a package and naming who had signed for it. I walked pass the mail room and there, on top of all the other packages was a ProFlowers box! I rushed upstairs to the kitchen by my office and ripped open the box. And to my surprise, there were a dozen red roses...and chocolates...and bubble bath! And a sweet, sweet note from Kevin to his beautiful bride! I was just beaming! It was the best surprise ever and the flowers were so pretty! Brownie points for my Valentine!
Well, I was sick all last week, so we did make it to the hockey game...for the first two periods...and then it was home and to bed. Not very romantic! We did go out for dinner at Kabuki on Saturday for our official Valentine's dinner. But, I have to say, despite all of the holiday hype, everyday with my honey is Valentine's Day! Love you babe!
