Valentines Day

Ken and I try to do sweet things for each other almost every day. Whether it be writing notes to each other, the kisses he gives me every morning before he leaves for work, or the little "treats" we get each other every time we have to do a store one, we make sure we let each other know how much we love each other each and every day. Valentines Day is no different, we try to come up with sweet things for each other. Some years we don't have very much spending money to go out to a fancy dinner or buy each other nice gifts, but what we lack in money we make up for in creativity and thought. This Valentines Day we were focused on packing and moving and decided to forgo a fancy dinner. Ken had duty the night plus an overnight watch so I knew he wouldn't be home for a while on Monday. I took Kevin to the commissary and did a little shopping run for a romantic stay at home V-Day dinner. I decided to make heart shaped mini meatloafs, twice baked baby red mashed potatoes, asparagus and a chocolate cake with home made cream cheese frosting. My plan was to have the house completely clean (as much as I could boxes and disorganization permitting) have Kevin napping just as Ken got home so we could sit down and have our nice romantic candlelit dinner just the two of us. Well, as I was taking the garbage out around 11 and I noticed a very familiar car pulling up. I guess great minds think a like because Ken was able to get basically the entire day off to come surprise me. I also had some flowers delivered that day, which was amazing. Our plans collided but we had an amazing day off  together.
