valentine's day...

     So many people hate Valentine's Day. As for me, I love it! Not for the flowers, chocolate, presents, etc, because in all honesty that is not my favorite part. For me, my love of Valentine's day comes because to me it is an excuse to magnify your expression of love for the person that you love.
     Last night's Valentine's Day was amazing!! I went to Andrew's house at 7 and he had a whole spread of food out and he was chopping away. My Valentine's day consisted of being cooked a totally amazing dinner that included shrimp scampi ( one of my FAVORITES!! ), Seared and baked chicken with ginger, garlic, onions and yellow and orange peppers  ( also my FAVORITES!! ), asparagus ( yes another Favorite ) and rosemary and garlic mashed potatoes ( which I had never had before! ). Then he got me some Milano Chocolate Melt cookies because I am always wanting some chocolate. On top of that the table was set nice with a single rose and a card that he made with an amazing bottle of wine! I mean COME ON that is amazing.
     These things are not out of the ordinary for Andrew. In fact last week he brought me a bouquet of daisies', tiger lilies and mums. He always loves to cook for/with me. And he loves to randomly write me an amazing note just to make me feel special. But it was Valentine's Day so he amped it up! THAT is why I love Valentine's Day. I totally disagree with the notion that it is the ONE day out of the whole year that you do something special for the one you love. To me that is bogus. You should treat every day like it is "Valentine's Day" when it comes to the person you love ( my mom and dad have always told me that, and I totally agree!).

      Sorry if this post came off as " ANDREW ROCKS! LOOK!" hahaha But when I think of loving someone I think of him, and I think he loves me so well!
