Valentine's Day Plans

 I had my own expectations about how we would celebrate February the 14th.

We made some special plans to celebrate together.

I intended to decorate the house for Valentine's Day.

And well....none of it happened. 

 

 

 

That's just what happens travel plans get rearranged, when the restaurant is way.too.crowded. and

your husband gets shingles. Life often deviates from my original plan and, you know what?  

It's ok.

 

 

 

 

Even though it all didn't turn out exactly like I thought it was supposed to, it was still a lovely day. 

We drank coffee in one of the most beautiful museum auditoriums I've ever seen. 

We ran around said museum like children exploring something for the first time.

We held hands 

and 

kissed

 and 

talked
and 

sat quiet.

 And then, to end the day

snuggled up with Sadie to watch a movie.

ps. Dear Jonathan,

I'm sorry that I kinda cried

(like a lot)when our day wasn't going

as I planned. And I'm sorry

for comparing our life to 

everyone else's and allowing

that to make me discontent.

You've got to be the most patient 

husband ever. And when you hugged 

me and told me that even though

I didn't have anything to give

you for Valentine's, that you

were happy with just me? Yea, you're 

pretty much the best ever.

So beyond glad that it's 

you I ended up with.

I love you. Really I do.
