Valentines

Well it's Valentines Day, nothing like stating the obvious. I've always considered Valentine's Day as a day that was set up to allow Hallmark another day to make money. :) Today, I recall the two Valentine's days that I was privileged to have with Jared. The first one we had together was so sweet. A couple of months ago I even found a handwritten list of things he had planned to do and get for that day. He decorated his house beautifully, cooked dinner, then we watched a movie. It was also the day he first asked if he could kiss me. The poor guy, I had always wanted to hold out and kiss only one guy in my life, so I told him no. (We'd only been dating for 2 months and I wasn't quite sure yet!) I was so thankful that he asked me instead of just going for it. He was the perfect gentleman!

I am so thankful that I was been able to celebrate two Valentine's Days with the mostest wonderful man. He changed my opinion a little about this day. It was a great excuse to have a nice quiet evening with him, not spending a fortune, just setting aside a time to be together. For that I am grateful. It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.....Happy Valentine's Day!
