I’ll admit it, I love Valentine’s Day. I’ve heard many people talking about how they don’t like it, and I just…DO! Of course, I loved it in Elementary school, but hated it after the fun days of making mailboxes for your Valentine’s, parties, etc. I hated it until I met Dillon, so I totally remember feeling that way.
Roses from my hun. He came home from working on the house in Lake Point,
and brought a yummy breakfast and these beautiful roses.
But as far as relationships go, I love it. I remember Dillon telling me about his friend he worked with and Dillon was heading off home early for our date, and asked him what he and his wife were gonna do. He said, “We’ve been married 10 years and it’s just another day to us.” Sadness! Seriously, I think it is such a great reminder of our dating years, how kind and loving and considerate we should always be of course. But if we’ve gotten lazy about treating each other so great and trying to impress the other, Valentine’s Day is always a great reminder to me! I love my hubby so much. He is my best friend. I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather spend eternity with. And I love Valentine’s Day to celebrate our love.
I put the quote from President Hinckley with this pic in the frame, made some
quick chocolate-dipped strawberries, and with the help of my friend Lori at CiCiStudio,
made a cute coupon book with things like “Pesto dinner” and “Go Dancing with you”–
Dillon has ALWAYS wanted to go dancing at some club together and just be crazy,
but I am too awkward a dancer to really ever want to do this, so that really
is a big deal to give him a coupon for that! And what did my hun get me? A beautiful real pearl set with necklace, bracelet, and earrings. Made me all teary-eyed.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
And, a quote by President Hinckley that I am finding more and more to be extremely true:
“I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one’s companion. Any man who will make his wife’s comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come.” (Of course I think this completely applies to both the hubby and wife.)
