Valentine's Day has come and gone, and my friends it was awesome!!!!!! Sorry for the excessive exclamation points, but really, it pretty much rocked.
Here's my day in a nutshell:
Day before Valentine's Day, my husband came home from work with these in his arms.
He knew that I had to work early in the morning at the station, and he wanted to make sure I had an early Valentine's Day smile. He is seriously a sweetheart. One of my other Valentine's gifts came in early too, and this one really made me excited. Ever since I watched Hungry for Change, I have REALLY wanted a juicer. Well my dearest most awesomest husband EVER got me a JUICER!!!!!!
I don't have a picture yet (I still have to set it up), but here is the linkymajig from Amazon.
Total Awesomeness right? I can't wait to learn and get into some juicing. No overboard stuff, but I really want to make better choices and changes. I really think this would be a big help.
Valentine's Day itself started really early. We had a special event at our station, a Valentine's Day drive thru where listeners could drive up on their way to work to pick up a free rose to give to a friend to brighten their day, a chocolate, and coffee and a pastry for themselves. It was wonderful! So many people showed up to brighten up someone's day. It was so nice being a part of it. :)
One of the best parts of the morning was when my husband stopped by on the way to work to give me a present for Valentine's Day that I wasn't expecting.
The picture barely does it justice. One of Scott's friends makes the most beautiful blown glass pendants and ornaments. This was a special surprise. I still need to get a cord for it, but for now It rests on a silver chain during the day, and in the safety of a beautiful china bowl that I picked up last weekend for jewelry. He gives me a heart of some sort every year. This is possibly my favorite. :)
My gift was more difficult. Scott's birthday is just a few days before Valentine's Day. I had already purchased a Nano for him, but I had no idea what else to get. I didn't want to go the old route of chocolate and cologne so I gave him a membership to the "Monthly Treats from your Sweets" club. This month's treat:
-Trek Mix
-Roasted Almonds
-Mile Chocolate Bar (got to have a little chocolate on the day of love)
-Three types of jerky.
-Loads of pretty sparkly hearts.
Next month...I don't know, but I am really excited about spending time every month creating a basket just for the love of my life to let him know that each day and each month, I am happy that HE is my Valentine. :)
I hope that your day was special too!
