Valentine’s Day is a special day for us as a couple. It all started 4 years ago on a sunny Oregon day.
I stood beside my silver Honda Accord, my fingers wrapped around the door handle but too scared to open it. I was really hoping there would be some roses or a card inside, but I realized that my hopes most likely were sky-high and would come crashing down in a shatter of dreams the minute I looked inside.
Finally I got up my nerve, yanked open the door, and plopped onto the seat. No roses. I felt my heart beginning to plummet. Then my eyes caught a glimmer of red underneath some paraphernalia. THERE WAS A CARD!
And it was from HIM!!! The tall blond good-looking Texas-drawling HIM!
And that’s where it all officially began. The moment I realized that this was serious. The-rest-of-my-life-kind-of-serious.
And it’s only gotten better. Love truly gets better with time. The electric touch fades slowly, the sky-high emotions ease down, but the love…the real true deep love only gets better. The friendship tightens. The memories stack up.
Tonight we celebrated in our favorite style. A romantic supper for two in our own kitchenette. Grilled Bacon Burgers Exquisite, Scrumptious Twice-Baked Potatoes, Wonton-Smoked Almond-IceBerg Salad, with Butterfinger Trifles to top it off.
WHY I LOVE BEING MARRIED:
There is someone to talk to at any given time about anything.
I always have someone to tease, to hug, to love.
It’s like having a personal massage therapist except cheaper and I don’t get massages as often.
Having someone to cook for.
It’s having a built-in road trip buddy, a partner in crime, and a personal cheerleader.
So here’s to my husband! For being all that and so much more.
I love how he takes care of me, how he keeps working to be a better man… Even on days I fail to be a better woman.
