Today is the 27th Valentine's Day for my husband and me. We had our first date on February 9th, 1991. I was flying out to Texas on the 13th for a piano competition, so I was really surprised when my boyfriend of 3 days dropped by my apartment on the 12th with a red rose, a small heart-shaped box of candy, and a card with big red lips on it (when you opened it, there was an ape wearing lipstick.) It was such a surprise. I knew even before then that he was a keeper, but that sort of sealed the deal.
There have been many more Valentine's Days since then - usually involving me buying him a few heart-shaped Reese cups and him buying me a box of chocolate.
However, we're inspired by my parents this year and skipping the chocolate, although I did buy each of my children a Lindt Excellence bar (2 "intense mint" ones and 1 "chili" one.)
If you're thinking "chili & chocolate? Yuck," all I can say is... try it. I thought the same thing and was pleasantly surprised.
Well, that is, if you want to have the chocolate. No pressure.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I hope you all have a lovely day!
