I really do love Valentines Day!

This V-Day, I really wasn't expecting much. Our budget is cut pretty slim these days and we've been cracking down to get all our debts paid off before a certain time. Ben knows that I really like nice things, he knows that I like bouquets of roses, expensive dinners, and big surprises. He told me the day before that we were going to wait to celebrate because our taxes(which were suppose to deposit on the 12th) haven't come in yet and that he was waiting for it to go through so that we could spend a little of that money on our date. 

How did I feel? To be honest...I was not happy, I said that it was OK and that I don't mind waiting, but really, deep down I was bummed. I didn't like the idea of celebrating V-Day on another day, call me selfish and whiny but that's just how I felt.

Valentines Day came, I wasn't expecting my husband to come home from work during his lunch to make me breakfast in bed, he works really close to home now(which I LOVE!)so it wasn't to much of a bother, but just the thought of him thinking of me made my day! I also got a balloon, and an adorable soft teddy bear.

So after he left, I ate, Josiah woke up around that time so before he got to impatient I hopped into the shower real quick so that we can get ready for our appointment.

After running errands and getting Josiah down for his nap I was trying to get the house cleaned up. Knowing Ben, he like a clean house to come home to, and a nice hot dinner waiting for him. He then texted me to say that instead of coming home at 3pm after work he wasn't going to be able to get home till closer to 4:30. He does have to stay late sometimes because he a manager and all so that didn't surprise me. So then I went back to cleaning and tidying up our house. 4:00 rolls around and I get a ring on the doorbell, curious, I wasn't expecting anyone, so when I opened the door I was very surprised to see that it was my wonderful husband, dressed all nice complete with a tie that I bought him a couple years ago, and holding a single red rose asking me to be his Valentine. What a sweetheart, after some X's and O's, he says OK, you have an hour to get ready. Awesome! I go and get all dressed up and we head out(baby free) to Red Lobster, it was an hour wait but we were able to find ways to pass the time. 

The day of Love and Friendship, did you have a good Valentines Day? Did your Valentine do something special for you this year?

Balloon, Red Rose Bouquet and a Teddy Bear.
The roses in the background is what I decorate my table with, I  try to always have a bouquet of flowers(roses or any other kind) on my dining room table, I love how fresh and beautiful it makes my home.
