First & foremost -- Happy Valentine's Day to all.
Today, my boyfriend was perfect, as always.
He went in the morning to pick up the ingredients he was going to need to make me a yummy dinner. He came back with a dozen red roses accompanied by an adorable look on his face as he fumbled with all the wrapping on the roses, lol. When he got home, I ran out to the mall with Katherine to pick out a gift for him. I had an incredibly busy week and didn't have enough time to get him something before today. Kat and I had a great time at the mall. Not only did I buy boyfriend's gift, but I also bought Kat a few things. She is my little Valentine too, after all.
We came back from the mall and gave boyfriend his gift & as we had family cuddle/play time in the living room, the door bell rang. It was a delivery for me -- Edible Arrangements chocolate covered strawberries and balloons -- my gift from boyfriend. It was such a surprise. He rarely does those kinds of things, so it was really special to me.
JT came to pick up Kat shortly thereafter, so boyfriend and I took advantage of the free time and went to go see Percy Jackson and the Olympians. When we got to the theater, there was this ADORABLE little old lady walking in, dressed to the nines in a red dress, dazzling white coat & diamond chandelier earrings. She was struggling with the front door and the wind, so I hurried up to the door to assist her with it. From that moment on, I was totally enamored with the little lady. I already love elderly people, but she was just particularly charming.
After purchasing our tickets, I kept looking out for her to make sure she wasn't having trouble with any other doors, lol. Once we entered into the theater, I spotted her walking toward the ticket collector, and from the right side of the entrance comes this equally adorable old man wearing a sport coat and leaning on a walker. He walks right up to his date and she hooks her arm into his elbow, and they both hobble into their movie to commence their Valentine's date. To say that my heart melted would be an understatement. I was so touched, I started to cry, lol. Boyfriend just squeezed my shoulder and said "that's going to be us one day." I cried all the way to our seats, lol. Ridiculous, I know, but the whole scene gave me a major case of the warm and fuzzies.
So, after the movie, boyfriend and I came & he commenced dinner preparations. He made crab, potatoes and steamed broccoli, and everything came out spectacularly. Kat made it home just in time to join us for dinner and watch the Disney Channel premier of StarStruck.
All in all, I'd say it was a pretty spectacular day & just reinforces to me how lucky I am to have the people I do in my life. I have no idea what I did to deserve them, but I'll never stop being grateful for having them.
Back to work tomorrow & I'm wide awake, which is unfortunate. I think its safe to say, though, that my chances of falling asleep would be a lot better if I'd close my laptop.
So, with that, good night. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend :) ♥
