Happy [late] Valentine's Day!!!

First off, I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's Day...and no it's not because I've never had a real Valentine. I just don't get all the hype about it. Sure, it's sweet and cute and romantic but I think I've decided I don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day when I'm married. Just a nice yummy dinner at home, watch a movie or play a game and just be with each other. Oh, I'll spring for some sparkling cider because that stuff is delicious but other than that I think I'm good. I think that is what Valentine's Day should be like. You don't have to do all these big romantic gestures-don't get me wrong...they are cute and appreciated. But I'd be much happier just spending a nice one-on-one evening with the one I love. Doesn't really matter what we're doing.

Anyway, that's not the point of this post. I'm writing because today I got a package from my Kylie:


Happy Valentine's Day to me! She sent me a sweet little ornament that says be brave on it and a wonderful card that reminded me why I love that girl so much. It literally made my day today. I think that the only good thing about not living with her is that we try every so often to send each other a package or a card or at least an email. It's always a really nice surprise and it always leaves me smiling.
