A day early...







First of all. I must brag on my husband for a minute, he worked 76 hours this week. Yes, this week, most of us hardly work that in two weeks. What a guy!
Since he has been working so much, our schedules haven't matched up at all lately. I miss him terribly, and after sitting around feeling sorry for myself on Friday night, I kicked it into high gear and decided to get my part of valentine's day ready for him a day early. So I prepared a wonderful dinner, made a heart shaped cookie and served it to him on the "You are special today" plate, gave him and card and sweet tart hearts, and continued my tradition of valentine's lingerie purchased from walmart. So when he came home, there was his wife, in valentine's lingerie and an apron, cooking away. To which he had to chuckle.
He was such a good sport as I asked him to take pictures to document every aspect of our early valentine's day. Can you tell in one of the pictures he thought it was cute to hide behind me, seriously, having 12 year old boys is going to be a snap for me. Sometimes he reverts back to that age, and to be honest it usually makes me laugh, which only encourages the behavior.
I want to give you a glimpse of this. Tyler is so good at mocking me, which is good, because as many of you know I take myself too seriously sometimes. So during dinner I asked him if it was good (it was a new recipe), and he simply said "yeah, it's really good." So I asked him to tell me about it. In response he laughed at me and broke into an opera song proclaiming, "It is so good, I want to tell the whole world, make it every night, etc." Honestly, I just wanted some constructive criticism. Regardless, I laughed and laughed.
I am so thankful to have a man that makes me laugh. What a blessing! I have to remind myself that he makes me laugh while I am in tears for some comment or something "boyish" that he did. Anyway, we finished off the night watching season three of heroes. He is at work again tonight (Valentine's day) but he will be home soon. The greatest part, tomorrow is two years since he proposed to me. We are heading to the Cheesecake Factory for some quality eats and treats. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day!
