"Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end." -Unknown.
To all the love birds, and even single ladies and gents.. whether you are happily married, happily dating, or happily single, it's still a day to celebrate love. If you don't have someone to celebrate love with, celebrate love for YOURSELF. Yes, it's true what they say.. you can't love someone else until you learn to love yourself. Be confident, be ambitious, discover your own passions, do what YOU love, so that when you have that special person you are your own individual. You have your head on straight, know what you want, and you go for it. And trust me, that's HOT :)
For the first time, I'm going to make this post as short as possible. I just haven't had time to blog or do anything lately. My valentine's day went like this...
V-day landed in the middle of the week, so husband took me out to eat sushi for our pre-vday dinner on sunday. On tuesday, I came home from class super tired, and a bit grumpy, because the night before, hubby had gotten mad at me for no reason other than me being messy. How long has he lived with me? He should already know I'm messy! He went to bed without kissing me or saying goodnight, can you believe that?? I wasn't really upset, because I knew he was really tired so he was already cranky. The next day (v-day) he texted me while I was in class to say happy valentine's day and that he loves me, but I ignored it. I didn't even call him all day.
Although I tried to play "mad," I ended up getting him a valentine's card during my break. The envelop reads, "To: My grumpy husband," "From: Your sweet lovable wife" lol. The inside of the card reads, "Ready to shell-ebrate?? Haha, I thought it was cute! I quickly wrote in it when I got out of class and hurried home. I walked into our room (with a mean muggin look, even though I wasn't really "mad-mad") and he immediately jumped out of bed, embraced and smothered with a dozen kisses. I tried pushing him off to give him the hint he was in the wrong, so he held me tighter and said, "I'm sorry" with the cutest look on his face. At that point I could no longer resist, so I cheesilly SMILED!
To the left side of me was a dozen large long stem roses in a vase with balloons, and a card. The roses are so pretty, they're almost as big as my face!
Okay, how can I stay pretend mad?? I LOVE cards! I still have the whole collection of cards he's given me since we first started dating all through our 4+ years of marriage. Maybe I'm just too sentimental, but even after our 4th year of being married, his written words still has the power to make me cry (happy tears) of course! Year after year, whether we get on each others' nerves, or we're lovey dovey when happy, I realized that no matter how much I "hate him" when I'm mad sometimes, deep down, I love him so incredibly much. Life just wouldn't be the same without him. I wouldn't be the same without him. Marriage isn't about finding that perfect someone who you'll always mesh with and get along with so well that all your problems just disappear. It's about finding that person you don't want to live without, and loving them despite their flaws and imperfections. After all, there's no such thing as a 'perfect' mate. Life is a roller coaster, so before you buckle down in one ride, make sure the person sitting next to you will be holding you tight through all the curves, bumps, and loopy loops. I know mine is :)
I hope you and your loved ones had another memorable Valentine's day! Wishing you all the best.
XOXO, Melanie
