My Valentine

Brad is such a sneak!

He finally surprised me!

The week before Valentine's Day he worked on restoring a broken, ugly fabric, worn out rocking chair that we picked up at Ron's place back in December.

I seriously thought it would be a "project" forever.

Nope!

It's amazing and beautiful now!

And all mine.

From my Valentine!

I Love you Brad, Thanks!

Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake.

Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar.

At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper.

I never knew it could be like this! Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.

Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there...

One of these things is not like the other...

~Valentine's Day~

February 14, Valentine's Day, the day for Love...

Some people love it.
Some people hate it.

Is it a day for the diamond, floral, Hallmark and chocolate industry?

Valentine's Day of the past were all about cutting out red and pink hearts for your sweetheart.

I love this day now as an adult. As a child, it was great to get candy and valentines from classroom friends. I loved going to the store and choosing the box of Valentines that I would give out at school. The next best part was deciding which ones in the box would I give to my "crush". After the Valentines were made up, we would usually have an art project in class to make a "mailbox" of sorts. Pink, Red, White and Black are the classic colors. After they are given out, the girls would no doubt wonder what boy would send them a "special" Valentine. We would read into every single card whatever we could just to be sure that we had a secret admirer.

As an adult I love it because I love to love my family! Pink oatmeal for b-fast, yes I have done it! Heart shaped pasta for dinner, done that too. Some years I have even made a special candle light dinner complete with the crystal and china, just for my girls and hubby.

As a teenager, I had a different opinion every year. If i had a boyfriend, it was great. If I didn't, well then it was a "stupid waste of time". I have daughters who are expressing the full range...

Jessica has written a poem about the Salt Lake City temple, and framed a picture of the temple to give to her boyfriend. She loves this holiday! Cat on the other hand, is the hater of the day. She "heart attatcked" her boyfriends car and felt very sappy about it. Although she was the only one who was given flowers! Lizzy hasn't said much, which is not like her. Sarah sent a secret admirer school sponsored "soda gram". She greeted me first thing this morning with a beautifully wrapped box of chocolate.

Jessica and I went to Brad's office and gave him a "heart attack" on his desk. He leaves early on Wednesday, so we got there right after he left to leave the evidence... We also heart attacked my dad's door!

Have a great Valentine's Day!! Love your family!!
