Valentine's 2010

It is hard to believe that 5 years ago Sunday, my husband proposed to me and I accepted! He got rid of my three roommates from my apartment, went and got us a steak dinner, (he had planned on cooking, but got carried away buying table stuff that he didn't have time) set the table with a white table cloth (aka a white sheet, and it ended up being a fitted sheet, my poor baby tried), he lite the candles, and had dinner on the table when I got home from work. I got to my apartment to a beautiful setting, but I was in my old ugly Kroger shirt and jeans, not what I wanted to be proposed in. I changed into a sweater, and we sat down to eat. Before we could finish eating, he reached in his pocket and declared, "I can't take it any longer." He got down on his knee and asked THE QUESTION. The ring was and is beautiful, we did go ring shopping together, but he picked this one out before it even caught my eye. We looked at many smaller ones while shopping, but he went all out and got the bigger one. It will always remind me of where we came from, and where we are now. He had to finance that ring then, and he was living pay check to pay check. Now we have only a few monthly bills. I am so happy we have had each other for the past 7 years and 8 months, even though we were in separate towns for most of our engaged/dating life. Two years married this past December! Dustin I love you!

So today is the Valentine's Work Day and my husband suprised me with Flowers. He is so thoughtful like that. Funny thing is I may have gotten flowers before we were married once, but now that we are married and I have a day job, I get flowers every Valentine's and Anniversary. He must be making up for all those years of flower neglect. Just Kidding. Thanks Dustin, they are beautiful!


Also, God surprised me with a nice Valentine's surprise! SNOW!!! I know I know, it isn't much, and we didn't get a snow day from work, but I liked being able to see snow on the trees and ground on my drive to work. It is all gone now of course, but I got to see some snow. Everyone in north and south MS gets snow, but we have been missed everytime. Till now.

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's weekend!!
