Valentine’s Day
The writing around here has been sort of crappy lately. I find myself rushed into finding topics and then just ramble.
Last night I watched the Olympics. I was heartbroken to discovered that the opening ceremony had not even begun and already, a life had been lost.
It really made me think, every day has to be lived to its fullest, you never know when you are going to die.
This leads me to Valentine’s Day as well. I’m thankful that I have a husband to share the holiday with, but I really dislike the holiday itself. Why should one day dictate how you say “I love you?” Shouldn’t we tell this to our significant others daily? How about family or friends? Honestly, Gray and I have been setting aside time each month for a date night and once V-Day came around, it was more of a so what ordeal. We did/do have plans, but we would have done these plans, regardless of the holiday.
The murder mystery dinner we went to was our dinner out and it was such a great deal! This weekend we will be catching the movie Valentine’s Day and I did get chocolate. However, I really don’t feel like this is much different from the usual. We end up seeing a movie each month and do dinner out. The only thing different was V-Day candy that was super expensive.
Anyway, back to the 21 year old Georgian who died…. he was living his dream and had an unfortunate accident. I was thankful last night that I could spend this holiday (even if I don’t agree with it) with my husband, who is alive.
I am very thankful for what I have, although I don’t have everything I want, I can live with out those things.
If I were single, I would go out and have fun with some friends or my family. You don’t need a man/woman in your life to celebrate the love you have for others.
So, what are your plans for the big V-Day?

My plans are to grow old with Sam, obviously! Of course that's before she steals my husband, but somewhere after we drool over Taylor Lautner's abs, and gorge ourselves on food and chocolate.

@Trina, LOL
Well, you two can come visit me in the hospital when I die from old age. Bring your cats with you.

Josh and I don't like the holiday either. we just got each other cards like we have done every years past, and instead of going out to dinner we decided we wanted chili. so chili it is!

@kaylee, We were going to stay home and make a meal, but then found the murder mystery dinner for only $5 each. It was a 3 course meal with cheesecake, much cheaper than us making all of it at home.
Hope you enjoyed your chili!
