We Believe in ~ Valentine's Day - 2013

I love Love. How can you not?

Brad and I, over the past year, have decided that we are going to be the kind of people/couple that celebrates...everything. Even the little things. In fact, we celebrate all of the little things.

I know, I know. Valentine's Day is a made up holiday, supposedly. But excuse me, it's a day to celebrate LOVE! And since I have met "my one" all I want to do is celebrate our love.Of course, we celebrate us daily/weekly/monthly, etc. We don't go overboard with the spending part of Valentine's Day. We usually do small gifts, dinner out, and a special dessert. What we do go overboard on is remembering why we fell in love in the first place and celebrating the road we have traveled down to get to the point we're at.

Everyone has a story, but ours is my favorite.

I got Brad a sign from one of my favorite stores, Swoozies, in Greenville and a Cyclones sweatshirt. The sign says, "I love you more than Ice Cream." If you know Brad and I at all...you know our favorite sweets to eat is ice cream, so this sign cracked me up. Yummy! The story behind this sign goes all the way back to March 2012. When Brad was moving to start his new position at John Deere in Iowa, he bought me a little present along with a card on his last day in Gville. The present was a wooden sign from Swoozies that said, "I love that you're my best friend." The sweetest right?!? Well, the sign that I got him matches the sign he gave me. I thought it was too cute and definitely "us."

Brad gave me a necklace from Helzberg. Yep, that's right. My man is pretty good about giving me diamonds! He shocked me with this one. Have you seen the dainty necklaces that are a cross sideways attached to a chain? I love them and had mentioned it months ago to the hubs in passing. Well, he found one at Helzberg and ordered it. Problem...it never came in the mail. He was not happy about that. On V-day, I got to see a picture of it and was so surprised!! What a thoughtful hubby I have! Helzberg called and said that when he ordered it, it was actually out of stock, so I will get it in about 4-6 weeks. Bummer! But...I still got diamonds for Valentine's Day!! Best husband - check.

Here's what my hopefully, soon coming necklace looks like! Love it!!

 

I hope everyone's Valentine's Day was as a good as ours! Happy Valentine's Day!!
