Valentines Day

I've never been a big fan of Valentines Day, that is unless I am in a relationship. And well this year I am, so I'm a little bit more happy this time of year. The only problem: Justin HATES it. He thinks its so commercialized and that the real meaning is lost. He says he'd rather send flowers, or do something nice "just because he wants to" instead of because its Valentines Day.

This put me in such a bad mood when had this conversation a few months ago. My first thought was "great, I finally have a good one and he hates Valentines Day". I was almost wishing I could go back to my days of hating the day because I was alone and bitter.

So as February hit, the looming day got closer and closer. On Monday, my mom texted me asking for my work address because she "wanted to send me something for Valentines Day". Now I know my mom, and well she was completely lying. I had a feeling that it was Justin, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise and I didn't want to expect it and be let down, so I tried my hardest to forget about it.

Of course every sitcom we watch - The Middle, Better With You and many more, were all about Valentines Day. Justin had his snide remarks and I added in my "aww that's so pretty" comments every so often, just to remind him my thoughts on V-Day.

Today I was scheduled to go to a school to take orders, which meant I would be out of the office for a good portion of the day today. Justin has never really asked a lot about stuff like this, so when he began asking questions, I immediately returned to my thought of V-Day. But why? It's Friday, V-Day isn't until Monday.

So I get it in from the school and there is a box from pro flowers on my desk. I opened the card and it said:

"I think sending flowers just because its Valentines Day is cliche, so you are getting them today"

These were my just because flowers :) Boy am I a lucky girl!
