February 14, 2011 aka Valentines Day

Glenn and I have never been into doing something “big” for Valentines Day. My girls can testify that I have said more than once that I would rather have someone who shows me that they love me by things they do every day of the year then to have a big production a couple of times a year. We knew someone like that and it didn’t work out so good for their marriage.

For us it is the little things that we do for each other everyday that speak our language of love. Like how I mentioned in passing during the last rain that I needed new wipers on my car because mine were not cutting it. A couple of days later I turned on my wipers and low and behold they were perfect. Glenn had gone by Auto Zone, picked up new ones and exchanged them out without ever saying a word. Now with every swish of the wipers I was reminded what a great guy I have and how much he loves me. I could go on and on but you get the idea.

So no big plans for the day but since Valentines Day fell on a Monday and that’s usually a night we get together we decided to just spend the evening at home and watching a movie. I didn’t want to make Glenn sit through a “chick flick” love story so on recommendation from Rebecca we rented “Red”. It was a great couple movie. Plenty of shooting and things blowing up for the guys and an underling love story for the girls.

I did do up some homemade chocolate dipped strawberries because strawberries were on sale and they are one of my favorites. We really splurged on the calories for the evening and had some of the peanut butter pretzels cookies that I made yesterday too.

A quite evening home with my sweetie, watching a movie, eating strawberries… a perfect evening, any day of the year!
