the day after our half marathon. Not walking too good, but still smiling. |
I made these Saturday. Cute, but none lasted until today.=) |
But, that Valentine's Day was an exception to the Hippie rule...
Our relationship even started out with a near miss. Mr. Hippie asked my dad if he could court me...the week AFTER Valentine's day-the year 2000. I think that started a precedent.=)
We have spent two of our Valentine's Days flying home from Europe. Enforced time together. Not too terribly romantic. And not very good food.
Our fourth Valentine's was preceded 8 days previous by the birth of a baby. Needless to say, we didn't really whoop that one up.
I have catered a sweetheart's banquet on a Valentine's day. I think that was #3.
I can't remember any other ones. It just has not been one of our most celebrated, or emphasized holiday.
Last year, I actually had grand plans. We'd eat red food, decorate sugar cookies, and make Valentine's for each other. I went to Meijer at 6:00 a.m., after swimming, and arrived home to sick kids. We spent last Valentine's Day, all of us down with the flu. Happy Valentine's Day...
I get bigger and smaller. He is the constant.=) |
This year, everyone is healthy, we have a supply of chocolate on hand, and we are making sugar cookies and valentines. But, Mr. Hippie and the boys have BSF tonight, and the girl contingent is going to the bff's for dinner. My valentine time with my Valentine was spent this morning pounding out 6 miles of snow covered pavement.

Unforgettable
That's what you are,
Unforgettable
Tho' near or far.
Like a song of love that clings to me,
How the thought of you does things to me.
Never before
Has someone been more...
Unforgettable
In every way,
And forever more
That's how you'll stay.
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too.
