Valentines Day

Well, Valentines day has come and gone once again. Last year was nothing memorable, cause I don't remember what we even did. I remember Brooke worked which meant I sat at home doing heaven knows what, probably cooking something. This year I feel like I redeemed myself a bit and it made me feel pretty good. I'm not gonna go into details about what I did because this is not a post to brag. What was really nice about last night for me was doing something unexpected and fun for my beautiful wife who takes such wonderful care of me. I had a blast making a simple idea become a reality and it all came together beautifully! I don't feel like anything really went wrong, or tasted bad, or didn't work. The look on her face was worth every minute of time spent making it all come together. That's what Valentines should be about. making someone you love happy. It doesn't have to be a boy or girlfriend, just someone you love. It also doesn't have to be big and expensive..last night the bill was $49.10 and there's enough ingredients in the fridge leftover for the rest of the week. The thought counts! show someone that you love them. A friend said to me yesterday that she didn't celebrate valentines day cause it's a big scam and that "you should act like everyday is valentines day." I agree with her that companies make a bunch of money off the day of love, and that yeah you should treat your significant other like every day is valentines day. My one thought that doesn't really go along with her is the fact that it's one day a year when you actually are given the time and the reminder to do something nice for someone else, so why not celebrate : ) I hope everyone's Valentines day was as good as mine turned out to be, and if it wasn't there's always next year ; )
