Valentine's Day hasn't ever really been a noteworthy holiday for me. I never really had a Valentine until I was married, and quite honestly it never bothered me. I always thought that once I had a special guy in life, Valentine's Day would just be flowers, chocolates, and a fancy restaurant.
Those things are wonderful and I love receiving them, don't get me wrong. I still have my flowers Kam gave me two weeks ago for our anniversary, despite how sad they look. But that's not what made my Valentines Day today.
What made my Valentine's Day was having a cute husband who made me open my gift (a new knife set!) the day before Valentine's day because he couldn't wait.
It was sleeping in a little and laughing together at the weird things our cat does while laying in bed.
It was going to Buffalo Wild Wings instead of a fancy restaurant because wings are just something we both can't get enough of.
It was making up stupid lyrics to songs we had stuck in our heads on the ride home.
It was snuggling up and watching an episode of Shark Tank in our pajamas together.
In reality, Valentine's day was just like any other day. Today I just had a little reminder to let my best friend know a few more times that I love him with all my heart and what an extremely lucky girl I am.
Flowers die. Fancy restaurants are expensive. Chocolates go straight to my thighs. Me? I've got a guy that looks good with a beard that smacks a goofy smile on my face on a regular basis. And that lasts forever. :)
