Belated Valentine's Day Wishes

2.15.2011

Did you ever wish you could stop work or freeze it for a couple of days?  I sure do.  My new job has been incredibly difficult these last few days, which has kept me from writing my posts and responding to my favorite blogs.  (Please forgive me!)

My little guy wasn't very interested in putting together his Valentine's Day cards this weekend, so I took care of all twelve of them--carefully making sure to place the heart stickers in the appropriate spots.   While my little boy didn't seem to have the slightest interest in hearts or Cupid's arrow, my husband and I tried to make the most of the weekend.  We went out on Saturday evening to a local theatre (called The Seven Angels Theatre) and saw a special Valentine's Day comedian performance.  The three comedians were hilarious, and to start the evening out right, the theatre served champagne and chocolate in the lobby prior to the performance.

On Sunday, we attended a special Valentine's Day Anniversary Mass.  Any married couple who was celebrating a special anniversary this year (in increments of 5) could sign up to renew their vows.  Since my husband and I will be celebrating exactly five years of marriage in June, we decided to sign up.  It was a very nice time indeed even though we felt silly celebrating our 5th when there was another couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary this year.  (If my husband and I ever celebrated 65 years of marriage, I would be 90 and my husband would be 95!)

I hope everyone had a sweet celebration this weekend.  May friends, family, and acquaintances, in the spirit of Valentine's Day, continue to show you more love and blessings throughout the week. XOXOXO.

  6. Mmmmm, chocolate! I'm so glad that you had a fabulous Valentine's Day. And I hope that work is kinder in the coming weeks. I'm not too far removed from it to remember how crazy college gets sometimes, and that was just as a student. Yep. I could totally use some Mommy Spirit right now, as I'm sure you could. Take care, friend. :) And you look lovely!
