Happy Valentine's Day!

My personal thoughts on Valentine's Day (and Wes agrees with me) is that it is kind of overrated. While I think that chocolate hearts and making valentines are all good fun, sometimes...the reds, pinks and purples can be a little overbearing when walking through the grocery store. However, I will gladly accept any holiday that provides an excuse to celebrate love and so we did the cheesiest thing we could think of yesterday and went and saw New Moon (of the twilight saga) at the Kennedy school. We will be going out to dinner sometime this week. Honestly, after this I completely forgot about Valentines day. I woke up this morning with out a thought of what today was, quietly tip-toed out of the room as to disturb Wes as little as possible (he worked last night, sleeps during the day on sundays) shut the door, turn around, only to find a trail of hearts leading to our coffee table. We aren't the type of people to buy things for each other on Vday. Going on a date is how we celebrate and sometimes we write letters. Wes has been known to make some of the craziest tri-fold-cards with secret compartments and flip down notes I've ever seen. So, seeing hand-cut hearts, and a big paper sign was completely Wes' style. I followed the hearts to the table to see a huge heart cake. Pink cake. Pink frosting. Pink sprinkles. And next to it a sign: "follow these directions." I follow the directions that lead me to a message on his phone singing "you are my sunshine." Yes folks, I am a lucky girl. So on this note, I am sending you all big heart cake love on this Valentines day. Oh and chocolate doughnuts with chocolate frosting too! Wes has one of these sitting at his spot at the table for when he wakes up. Shhh! Don't tell! :)

Have a great sunday!

Love,
Katie
