Valentine's Day full of Surprises
Yesterday was Valentine's Day and it was full of fun & surprises! Thomas and I went to church in the morning. When we get home after church the first thing we usually do is change into more comfortable clothes and decide what to have for lunch. Since it's usually about 12:30 when that happens, we're both pretty hungry. A lot of times we go out to eat. Yesterday was not one of those times!
He decided to have a chili dog and I wanted re-heated takeout pizza we had leftover from Friday nite. He was microwaving his dog and I would come into the kitchen to sit down and eat, then think of something I had to do first, and leave to go do it. I did this about 5 times before I finally pulled out my chair to sit down and eat. When I did that, I looked down and there was a box of Russel Stover candy (my favorite) and a red HALLMARK card! I was so surprised! We laughed over that, since I'm the one usually doing little surprises like that to him all the time.
Later that day, we attended #4 of 6 sessions at our church's "Sacred Marriage" seminar. It was very good, as always.
After that, we had to stay at the church for 45 minutes before the Couples Valentine Dinner started. Most couples wandered put of the church sanctuary into the fellowship hall. Some of the women wandered into the kitchen where two women were busy preparing dinner for the Valentine couples. We asked if we could help, and SURPRISE! they needed help! I got to cut up broccoli, cauliflower & yellow squash before they steamed it. After that I stirred linguini on the stove, and helped add the spices. Inbetween those two things, I put the frozen Stouffer's mac & cheese in the microwave to defrost, and threw the chicken nuggets in a pan and into the oven to heat up. This was dinner for the little kids of the moms who signed up to prepare dinner for the adults. It got kind of crazy when I was pulled away from cooking so I could have a Valentine's picture taken with Thomas! Once we got all the food served, I finally got to sit down and enjoy the rest of the meal & fun & games.
They had our own verion of The Newlywed Game with 6 couples from our church. It was hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! The best secret was finding out our pastor's favorite cereal is BooBerry!! And he doesn't have little kids anymore - they're 10 & 15!
The best part was the dance we all had with our spouse to a song by Brandon Heath. I don't recall the name of the song, or the words, but it was a special SURPRISE moment of love dancing with Thomas! I told him we were practicing for Ben's wedding in Nov!
So, for me, Valentine's Day was really fun and great this year! I hope it was for you too!
