Recovered

Valentine's Day is officaly almost a week past *yippiee*

I am thankful to say that we all survived and it was a good holiday. My dear Husband did a great job of encouraging me to rest and sleep (and those that know me well - EAT!) as much as possible considering that I was on my feet 9-12 hours a day.

Not only that, but on The Day, after it was all over and I was all comfey, clean and in a fluffy robe - he gave me a V day gift. Now note that we don't typically celebrate until the following week because it is just toooo crazy. But there, sitting on my pillow was a beautiful cloth covered gift box with the cutest bear with ribbon embroidery on it's tummy. Inside was bath salts, bubble bath, bath gel, chocolates and a really neat book. I was surprised and felt so loved and taken care of - but it didn't stop there. He said there was more. More??!! This is enough, why more?? He then told me that he had a very special date night planned for this Saturday the 21st.

Wow. It was so unexpected. I was overwhelmed. I was close to tears. I can't explain how his demonstration of love affected my heart. Even as I type this, I am still overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness. You see, not only did he help me after he got off work and on Saturday - but he was having a very busy week of his own at his job. So to know that he had thought of me in the midst of all the craziness both of our jobs entailed, when I personally was just trying to have the energy to make it through - I was blessed beyond words. Beyond words.

Needless to say, I am soooooo looking forward to tomorrow night!

I have the BEST husband in the world!
