Valentines Day

This year was probably the first year I wasn't dreading Valentines Day in the slightest. I had my valentines cards made, chocolates bought for my bible study, homemade cards finished, I was ready to give give give. And it was wonderful.




The night before, I stopped by the liquor store and picked up a case of Bud Light Platinum and went home to wait for everyone to go to sleep. When all the little boys went nigh-night I snuck out and set up the four six packs with their cards on top of them, took a picture and went to bed. Oh ps-since the boys in question are old, this fist happen until about 1:30 or 2:00.

Happy valentines day!!


At around 9:15, I get a knock at my door, I tell them they can enter and in walks Clint and Stu. Clint comes right over to my bed, leans over to give me a hug and says, "THANK YOU!!!". I say, "you're welcome", give Stu a little pat on the head and send them on their way. I'm tired.



At noon (haha) I get another knock. Let them come in again and it's Ryan, Clint and Lucas. Ryan and Clint tell me about their journey out that morning to get flowers and things for their little ladies, I immediately cut them off predicting they spent way more money than normal going to a local florist. They say that would've happened but they decided to go elsewhere. I approved their decision. After that, they were done stalling-or staring at me in bed and started pleading with me to go into the kitchen.
"there is something waiting for you on the table...!" they taunt.
"come on! Get out of bed!" they nag
"okay okay" I comply
I had to kick them out of my room, assuring them I would follow just so I could put on a bra in private. They were so excited for what they had done.






And they should've been. They were so good to me, it still warms my little heart.
Waiting there on the table, just for me, was a bouquet of flowers, a pot of tulips, a bag of jelly beans, a HUGE chocolate bar and a little card. What they wrote was so nice I wanted to cry, but since they don't know what to do when I cry, I didn't.






I go on with my day as originally planned, when I got back to the house that afternoon there was a rose on the table with a heart shaped box of chocolates from Jordan! Oh me oh my!! How amazing are these men??!




Later that evening fed ex man brought flowers from my parents!






Basically, I was spoiled rotten and I am so thankful for people's thoughtfulness and gratitude for being my friend. I am so very humbled and blessed.
End.
