Ah Valentine's Day, the day everyone gets to tell their significant other how much they adore them. I of course have never had the opportunity. Granted this year I was close, I had a guy give me roses the week before but then changed his mind by the time February 14th rolled around. Too much pressure I suppose. I feel like even if I want to hate this day, I can't really despise the day my parents decided to get married. Who gets married on the cheesiest day of the year? Evidently my parents do and I have to be grateful they did or I would not be in existence today.
Well this year was even more symbolic of how lame a day it is for those of us who have no one to share our love with. Not only was I a bit disappointed in the "Roses the Week Before Guy" running away, but I had the stomach flu on Valentine's Day, how's that for saying I love you! The plus side was I couldn't go to school that day and see all the flowers come for the teachers and all the kids passing out valentines and going crazy with all the candy they eat all day. The down side, well I am sure you can imagine what the down side is with the stomach flu.
Now don't get too teary eyed over my disappointing holiday just yet, there were bursts of love that managed to break through the drab day. Below are the pictures of what did make my Valentine's Day just super!
My friend, Heidi, invited me over for a delicious Valentine feast the night before. I think she sold some of her table decoration designs to Martha Stewart. Super fancy right!
My favorite candy, Valentine Sours, are super cheap and super addictive. I was able to build up my Valentine Candy supply and enjoy this yummy treat the whole month of February. Yes I worked out a lot in February too!My most exciting Valentine burst of love was a video message from my cute little cousins Megan and Kettner. They may be the cutest kids I know. Have a listen for yourself!
