Maybe throw in a few candles?
I've always completely adored getting flowers and chocolates on Valentine's Day.
I've always loved giving a well thought out love letter to my wonderful husband.
I've always ended it at that. :-)
I don't decorate my house with red and pink hearts.
I don't spend any time on lovey crafts either.
The only reason I am planning on having a steak dinner by potential candlelight?
Because we desperately need the effort.
We're not really disconnected but let's face it, life with Afton is not the same as life without her.
We need to make the effort of wooing each other over a romantic candlelight dinner... with Afton. :-)
Yes, our 6 month old daughter will be joining us during our romantic Valentine's dinner.
Will it be a different kind of romantic?
I imagine so.
Does that make it any less important or meaningful?
I think not.
I was pleasantly surprised tonight when Todd arrived home with pretty red Tulips.
Simple?
Yes.
Perfectly wonderful?
Absolutely.
I knew it would change someday and I know that it will continue to change.
It takes adjusting. It takes practice. It takes being deliberate. It takes grace.
It takes the two of us making an effort.
Our Valentine's theme this year is not love or lust or infatuation.
Our theme is effort.
That is our Valentine's theme this year.
