i love love

Valentine's Day. 

I spent the actual evening with my friend, Haillee. We went out to eat at Cheesecake Cafe while Burns had his own little study date with his friend (he had a midterm the next day). We wanted to go to Lloyd's Roller Rink right after dinner but they were closed to the public for an exercise group. On all the days I thought it would be open, Valentine's was the day. But no. So Haillee headed home and I picked Burns up from the school. 

Burns and I actually celebrated V-day on the 13th. While he was writing his midterm that night, I decorated his room with balloons, garlands, and Valentine lights. I did all his laundry and I also made him a candy gram minus all the candy. I tried to get mostly healthier choices or at least food that he would eat for a snack or a meal. 

When he was done writing his exam, I picked him up and we watched a little American Idol with his mom. During a commercial I told him to go downstairs with me. He noticed red light gleaming from his room so he went in there and was completely surprised! He was speechless and he sure loved it. He showed his mom what I had done and she went nuts over it too. It was fun putting it all together but the most fun was surprising Boonie.

Now, I'm stealing this idea from Nicole's blog because I thought it was so cute.

What love is to me.

love is

friendship but stronger

easier and harder

all at once

love is

yelling, whispers, and talking

in a car

until 2:00am

love is

fighting to tears

misunderstandings

and smiling in the end

love is

accomplishment

pride in not only the big things

but the little things too

love is

a mixture of two lives

a roller coaster of the strongest emotions

but so steady

...

oh so steady

Sure Burns can be the most annoying thing on the planet in my point of view sometimes, but he is mostly the most wonderful thing. He is so patient with me, so truthful, and so loving. We have so much in common and so little, but we can celebrate our differences and not let them destroy us. I love how much he loves nature, I love his talents, and I love that he loves me. We've been together for four years and I still can't believe how much my love keeps growing for him every day. Keep it up my lovely husband-to-be cause you sure are doing something right! Happy belated Valentine's Day to everyone!
