Happy Valentines Day!

Today has been a good day.  We sent the kids to school this morning ready & excited for their Valentine's Day Parties.  I didn't go all out this year & buy treats for them to take in.  We've been so busy lately that I really just was not up for spending the money or taking the time to make something.  I'm lacking energy lately & that's OK every once in awhile. 

I do have to add pictures of the Valentine's Day boxes that the kids made.  Hank's is definitely the winner this year.  Creag came up with the clever idea to use his name last night & we both laughed & laughed when it was written on the box.

The box says..."Dill you be my Valentine?  Hank you very much!!"  I thought it was absolutely hysterical & fitting.  The best idea from Creag!  I also wrote on the side of the box "I mustache you a question, will you be my Valentine?"  I read it out loud, & then Hank looked at me with a nervous voice & said "will you be my Valentine?"  My heart melted!!  Look at those dimples, can you blame me for saying yes?

I got this text this morning while at work & it was a nice surprise....

 

I'm very grateful for lunch dates.  I usually work through my lunch so it's so nice to get out of the office for a bit, especially with the hubby!  We had a nice lunch at a place I had not been before, J. Gumbos.  It's Cajun & made us both want to head right back to New Orleans.  I stuck with a safe choice, Jambalaya & Creag ordered a Po Boy.  I forget what it was called but it was very good.  A little to spicy for me, but still a better choice then what I ordered. 

I had his gift at the office so I decided to give it to him here before we left for lunch.  I'm pretty sure he loved it!  Crazy that our wedding was almost a year ago.  It was actually last Valentine's Day that he proposed!!  Hard to believe how quickly time passes. 

I got him a UK frame & put a picture from our wedding night.  I also found a card that was absolutely perfect.

Sometimes life gets me all wrapped up,

and before I know it, it's been a while since I've given you a sweet sexy kiss.

A while since I've told you how handsome you are,

or said thanks for the million things you do to make our life so good.

But you should know, your are what matters to me.

And though I'm not always great at showing it,

I'm always feeling it.

Gratitude, happiness, and an intense love for you & only you.

It's important to me to show you everyday,

every chance I get,

what a difference you make in my world.

Because YOU are what is important and good,

and oh so right in my life.

And I love you, everyday.

In every way imaginable.



We have a busy night tonight, so I'm glad we met for lunch & I was able to give him his gift.  Tonight, I have a class at the gym, Creag has to run, the girls have gymnastics & Creag is taking the boys to the batting cages to get Hank ready for baseball season.  We're going to sneak in a little treat for the kids after dinner which is something that we always try to do on special occasions.  I think it's so important to give them small gifts to let them know we're thinking of them & they are important to us on Valentine's Day & every day.
