Michael and I never buy each other anything for Valentine's Day, as I already feel it's too commercialized. But I think it is a good time to remind each other how much we love each other and be extra loving on this day (never hurts, right?). Each year we make each other gifts instead; we have made photos, music CD's, cards, etc. This year I thought it would be nice to just write something nice or a compliment on a slip of paper, one for each day of the month. We started on the 1st and it has been so nice, and something we each look forward to reading each day, and something that will continue even though Valentine's Day is over.
So I wasn't expecting anything yesterday. Michael called me in the morning to tell me that everyone enjoyed the cupcakes I sent with him to work (which secretly I was hoping they didn't and he would come home with some--I really enjoyed them and ate 3 the night before and wanted some more!). He asked what we were up to today. When I told him we were going grocery shopping he told me no, to stay home. Very weird and suspicious. So I thought that it was either going to be one of two things: he was having flowers sent to the house and I needed to be home or he was going to take us out for dinner when he got home and we could just do the grocery shopping then. So I was really surprised when an hour later Michael comes walking through the front door! He had taken the rest of the day off and arranged for Nate to go to daycare so that we could have a fun day. After dropping Nate off, we went out to lunch, did some window shopping, and went to a matinee to see Just Go With It. It was such a nice time and so unexpected. It was so nice to be able to spend Valentine's Day together this year.
