Valentine's day is kind of a weird holiday....when you're single it sucks and is just another reminder of just how single you really are...trust me I've spent many a valentine's day with a big bin of ice cream, or wine, watching sappy love movies and feeling sorry for myself. Some years my girlfriends and I would get all dressed up and go out for a nice Valentine's dinner (sometimes those were the best valentine's days). There's no rule for who you choose to be your valentine!
This year I had 2 Valentines...Adam came over on Sunday (after we had had a bit of a fight, or really I was just annoyed with him), and we showed up with a big boquet of flowers for me. Beautiful red, yellow and pink roses, which he pointd out that each color meant something (or at least that's what the lady at the store who sold them to him told him). Red is love, yellow is joy and pink was for friendship. I thought it was cute he took the time to tell me that. Then he said he had a card for me. I start reading it and one line says "i like it when you rub my belly" and I was fairly confused, until I opened it up and it was a valentine from Tucker :) Adam had gotten it from him and even had him lick the envelope. Made my heart melt, I think that could have been my only Valentine's gift and I would have been the happiest person. On the actual Valentine's day Adam had made reservations at McCormick and Schmicks, a great steak and seafood restaurant. We got there around 8pm and had some wine, great food and fabulous conversation. It was just fun to go out on a nice date. We were going to see a movie afterwards but got kind of tired. Went home and exchanged small gifts and ate some homemade red velvet cupcakes I made (so good)! I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's day or better Valentine's :) What would I do with out my boys!
