Valentime's Day

Valentime's Day, yep that's what I called it when I was younger. I did however eventually learn that it was called Valentine's Day instead. I believe that was what 2 years ago... :-)
My wife and I were discussing on Friday night how this would be our first Saturday Valentines' Day, since we have been dating or married. In the beginning of your marriage everything is a first, a first Christmas, a first New Years' eve, well you get the point. After two years when you run out of first's you start reaching, so this was our first official Valentine's Day that fell on a Saturday.
I know your thinking "what the heck," but stay with me on this one. So in the past we have awaken on Valentine's Day to "Happy Valentine's Day hon, see ya after work" and rush off to our busy days ahead. This was different though, I woke up next to my beautiful wife in no hurry to be anywhere. We made breakfast together in our robes, and sat to eat while talking and laughing together. We spent the day together, exchanged our cards and gifts and just had a brilliant time. My wife surprised me with a menu for the Valentine's meal she had planned for dinner. IT WAS AMAZING!
She thought of everything, even down to the desert of homemade chocolate covered strawberries, that we fed each other during a movie we watched that evening while snuggled on the couch. I know TMI, TMI! Hey men, I'm just sharing some ideas here we have to help each other out.

You know I think back today and reflect on that wonderful day, and I think I did have it right when I was younger. On Saturday I experienced a Valentime's Day, because it is about the time isn't it? (That sounds like a AVL commercial) It's quite a different day to not have to rush off to work, and you can celebrate your spouse, and praise God for putting you two together forever.

Until next time...
