While I spend most of my time writing about the girls, I need to take a moment and share how wonderful and lucky I am to be married to such a great guy. He is indeed my true valentine and I don't often spend the time telling him so.
Ever since Keara was born, valentine's day generally comes and goes getting overshadowed by birthday plans. Earlier in the week, we once again decided not to do anything for each other and just try and get through the week. I did manage to get him a card and print up a cute picture of the girls but nothing more than that.
Some of you know just how creative my husband can be when he puts his mind to it. While it has been a while since I've seen those creative juices flowing, I was the recipient this week of a unique box of chocolates on valentines day.
It was a box of "first dates". The box hand crafted out of construction paper. Inside I found individually wrapped kisses, each with a small slip of paper inside as well. On these pieces of papers I found faded memories which were suddenly brought to life as I read each one. A fragment of a sentence and a date soon triggered a flood of wonderful moments spent over the last 18 years with Zeb. And while not always perfect, I could not imigine it being any better.
Here are some of the highlights....
December 1989 - first date
