From Inmates to Playdates

I was dreading today.

It is Valentine’s Day and it seems to weird to be excited about Valentine’s day when my Valentine happens to be 1,400 miles away.

Very early this morning - and by very early I mean just after 9am – there was a knock at my door.

It was a delivery man and he handed me this….

[Kissing Bears Picture Goes Here! ARGHHH!!!]

 Those are kissing bears complete with a “squeeze the hand” button that makes a SWAK sound.

He also handed me these…

 Do you see those beautiful gerbera daisies?  Gerbera Daisies happen to be my favorite flower.

I appreicate and LOVE my sweet husband so much. He is more than I could have ever hoped for in a husband. He is the LOVE of my life and I am am thankful that he is mine.

I smiled when the flowers and bears arrived even though it reminded me that we are apart again. Between his full-time job and his military career, he spends a lot of time away from home. I miss him when he is gone, but I am thankful that we have a wonderful relationship and that our home is filled with joy and LOVE.

Everyday with him is special.

I would have been content with the Valentine gifts that my sweet hubby sent to me, however, I was even happier when I found out today that I won this from Musings of A Housewife….

Ya’ll, I squealed with delight.

I was jumpin’ up and down, hoopin’ and hollerin’ – (yeah, that’s pretty much the way I talk most of the time) – and then I was sad again because McDaddy wasn’t here to share in my good fortune.

So, guess what I did?

I did the only thing I can do these days to contact him.

I e-mailed him!

To tell him I had some good news to share when he called.

And, when he called me an hour later, I was still wearing the big smile on my face.

I can’t wait to get this booger in the mail. I love a new gadget. I don’t typically know how to use them, but I’ll do my best to figure it out.

My exact words to McDaddy were, “It’s pink. It has buttons. And, it has e-mail.” Seriously ya’ll. You can’t understand my excitement.

Yay!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day to me!!!

Thanks, Jo-Lynne. These words made my day!

Oh, and I can’t wait to get a peek at my new PEEK. I’m sure I will LOVE it!
