Valentine's Day is Best with my Husband

I was thinking of writing a post about memories I have of Valentine's Days past or at least pre-marriage.  I don't remember any particular one except as a group memory of those in elementary school where we'd have a party and exchange Valentine's.  I remember my Mom buying me enough to hand out to the whole class.  We'd have cupcakes and candy in the afternoon.  Those were innocent times.

Oh I do remember one in 7th or 8th grade where I got my first Valentine from a guy.  I remember looking over at him after opening it and feeling shy and blushing.. and maybe a little embarrassed.

Valentine's Day now with my husband is an excuse for a date night where we have a nice dinner out.  It's comfortable and warm and safe.  We avoid "the" day so we can have a relaxed one.  Almost every year he makes an excuse to go out during the day (we both work from home) and bring me back flowers and a card.  That always makes me feel more gooey inside than the years he's bought expensive chocolates.  I can't explain it nor do I understand it.

We're not apart often, but when we are, I still get the heart pains when I see his smile and open arms.

Wishing everyone a Valentine's Day with the ones you love.  That includes those four legged friends.  Here's a link to a Valentine's post I did a few years back with my furry buddies.
