be my valentine

"There's nothing like real love. Nothing." - Shirley Temple

my Joe and I :)

        Just wanted to say happy Valentine's Day!  Even though today really is the feast day of St. Valentine, the world seems to celebrate it with sweet gestures of love for one another.  Here's an article about him: http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=159 Go read it!
        Honestly, some people absolutely hate Valentine's Day and others absolutely love it.  I like it!  Yes, maybe society has commercialized this day... but in my mind it's a simple reminder to say "I love you."  Is that so bad?  We should really say I love you every day! Well, regardless, it was a good day in this household. :)


        My gifts from Joe were flowers, a teddy bear, and a bag of candy! My gifts to Joe were a fancy dinner and this Chiefs' candle bottle. We also exchanged cards. It really was sweet. I love my dearest!
        Also, I LOVE this Valentine's song/video/lyrics!  Watch it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840NbiFF1zM
        That's all for now! I hope your day was beautiful. You are loved!
