If you are getting a bit teary-eyed, wipe them, because Craig and I DID celebrate Valentine's Day early. Wednesday we went to Clinkerdagger's for drinks and appetizers overlooking the Spokane falls! It was intimate, special, and romantic...especially when he pulled out the very unexpected Valentine's gift! We never get gifts for each other but he always defies this rule and bought me 45 days of unlimited hot yoga at the studio I have been going to. I've missed it SO much and am so grateful for his kindness and willingness to feed my newest 105 degree addiction!!! Made my evening that much more special :) We have thoroughly enjoyed our time together lately and value each moment we get because they are few and far between. I am still so in love with who God has given me! Some days...yah...it's a choice...but most days it comes naturally. Though I may not always show the love and affection I should, I could not be more appreciative of my husband. He does so much for me - most of it going unnoticed. And my favorite thing about him is that he loves me with his WHOLE heart. He is so giving, so unselfish, and so willing to make me happy and do what's best for us as a couple.
So keeping this is mind, I am okay with him working tonight on what is "supposed" to be the most romantic night of the year. I rest knowing that I get those kind of nights most nights!!
Back to today...
I have a 4 day weekend! Don't you wish you worked at a school?! Today was a snow make up day and, unbelievably, we have not had any snow days to make up! So I decided to sleep in and have Craig wake me up when he was ready to go get a Valentine's coffee at Starbucks before we left for the day. I woke up at 7:11am and, still half sleeping, saw I had missed a call at 7:10am from a friend down the street. She was standing on my doorstep, looking like a drowned rat (rain! gross!) because she had locked herself out of her apartment. Good morning Tiara!!! I gladly took in this homeless girl, for she turned my day around and made it a little bit brighter! She called into work on account of being locked out. So, naturally, I let her borrow shoes, shorts, and sweats, and we headed to the gym for a workout!
As she kept my house warm and Luna happy, I escaped for a lovely coffee date with a friend, followed by a much needed massage, followed by a walking date with a different friend...returning back home to Tiara and Luna :) What a fun day full of surprises!
I now lay on the couch - exhausted - with a red box movie and a bowl of hot soup! Really the holiday could not get any better than this!
Happy love to everyone! I am surely loved and I hope you know that you are too!
One of the happiest days of my life:
Love it!
