For the first time since I was in high school, I had a date for Valentine's Day!! Woo hoo! Of course, my date was my husband. LOL! Last year, when we were engaged, we had a webcam date. So, not the same thing. He did fly to see me the very next weekend and we were supposed to have a date that weekend. However, life events nixed that idea when he took me to the hospital on Feb. 20 and I was diagnosed with spinal meningitis.
This year was much better than last or any other Valentine's Day in my past. We started off the morning with Mass (of course...we try to be good Catholics after all). Then we headed on home for fun and excitement! LOL! Not really. We exchanged Valentine's. Chris got me a Jim Shore angel....you can't go wrong getting me angels. I got him a basketful of goodies including chocolate and some fun boxer shorts. Then, Chris played on the computer and I took an hour long nap. Boy, I'm getting old. ;)
Our plans for the evening were to see a movie and then get dinner. We went to the 3:20 showing of "Valentine's Day", appropriate, huh? The theater was packed, even for the matinee. The movie was entertaining and cute. Even Chris gave it an "Okay" rating (which is pretty good coming from him--since he doesn't really like movies). After the movie, we went to O'Charley's for dinner. I know, real fancy, right? But we had eaten there 2 weeks ago and had this delicious steak. I wanted that steak again. I can't recommend it enough...the Louisiana Sirloin. Absolutely, positively, delicious!!! Mmmmmm....I was unable to finish so that left me with leftovers for lunch the next day. I like how that worked out. :-)
Overall it was a great and wonderful day. I love Chris so much. I love our life together! I know that Valentine's Day is somewhat of a fabricated holiday, but it is good for taking that time to reflect on how much you love a person too.
On Monday, we went furniture shopping. About 3 weeks ago, we went to Stahl's and ordered a couch, chair, and ottoman that should arrive sometime in March. So, yesterday we went to Ashley Furniture and ordered a coffee table, 2 end tables, and an entertainment console. I can't wait until we pull together our living room!! We still need to get chairs for our kitchen and twin beds for our guest room, but that will happen soon.
When we got home yesterday, I was exhausted and slept for 2 hours. I also had some gnarly cramps and bleeding again. From the research I've done, I could have cramps and bleeding for up to 2 weeks past D&C. I'm ready for that part to be done. The good news was that last night I was able to get my wedding rings back on. Since I was 6 weeks pregnant (a little over 3 weeks ago), I was bloating so bad that I needed to take them off (for fear that if I didn't they would have to be cut off). I'm glad I'm debloating now and can wear my wedding rings again.
Anyhow, I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!! :-)
