A Small but Important Occasion

Happy Valentine's Day to all....

A day to express the love we have for each other... and like Danie I also feel that it should be every day...and not all that important to celebrate on this one day of the year... but yesterday for the first time since Carl and I have been together he walked through the door with the cutest flower arrangement being held by a teddy bear... which he also knows I love... and a Hallmark card expressing his love for me which brought tears to my eyes.....and when I teased him about the Hallmark card he came back with you know you are worth more then a dollar store card...

Carl went out to do some running for us when he spotted the flowers and as he waiting to be waited on many that he knew doing the same thing... one guy told him that he knew he was going to get himself into trouble doing this because it was the first time in 27 years of marriage that he actually have bought flowers for his wife... like me I hope his wife was pleasantly surprised from his thoughtfulness...Carl told the guy if his wife questions him about the flowers tell her that he watched the movie Fireproof....

A few weeks ago Carl came home with a few movies for us and one of them was Fireproof.... like usual he doesn't read up on the movie and thought it had to do with firemen... but what it turned out to be about was a fireman that was losing his marriage and how with the help of his father and his faith turned it around... and a simple rule of his work.... you don't leave your partner behind...it is a movie without sex, violence, bad language or any of the other things that are in movies today....it is a movie that I will pick up to add to my library and watch once again...a few times...

This year was different one for me....though I did this several weeks ago.... with Craig getting married and having a ready made family meant that each occasion can't really be passed up any more... valentine day card kits were sent up so they can make them up for special friends. Of course chocolate and candy hearts for the children saying Happy Valentine's Day to each other them... I have to say having little ones in the family makes it a must once again to keep track of the little occasions other then Christmas, Easter and birthdays...

Once again to all of my family and friends I wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day...
