Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it was our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. It was the BEST Valentine's day that we have had so far! In order to understand this story fully though, there is a bit of background that needs to be shared. My Loving, sweet, wonderful husband has not always been so good at the Valentine's Day. Our very first Valentine's Day together, I was at home because I had shattered my heel and was immoble for 9 months. Valentine's day was the start of my 2nd month not being able to move without the help of crutches. In order to make it special for Justin, I had a friend take me to buy balloons, paper, candy, a card, and a giant I love you stuffed heart! I had filled the balloons with reasons why I loved him and candy and filled his room with Valentine's love. What did my sweet endearing husband do for me in return (and let's just admit that Valentine's day is a woman's holiday), he called me on his way home from work and said that he had to stop to get a card and a flower, because he had forgotten Valentine's Day. I was devistated and MAD!! Now I am more understanding and realize that that may just be the way things go, but at the time...Furious!
Jump forward five years to February 14, 2009 and my sweet wonderful husband made me feel so very special. He planned the whole day as a surprise. He booked a massage, dinner, he got me and incredibly loving (and reassuring) card and we went to see True Confessions of a Shopaholic. When my heart was full of love and I didn't think I could take anymore, we went out on the town, Well Mainstreet Bar in Richardson with our friends Anne and Chris Shacklett (whom I adore and do not nearly get to spend enough time with) and came home to our guest room decorated in red lights and candles, with Marvin Gaye playing in the background. We laughed, loved, and danced, Yes I said danced. Last night was an tremendously special evening because I was lucky enough to spend it with an amazingly special man. Thank you, Justin for one of the greatest nights of my life. I love you!
