Normally I despise this day. Not for not being in a relationship as I have been for the last 3 valentine&#8217;s days, but for other very personal reasons. Steve has changed my viewpoint on this commercialized Hallmark holiday. He&#8217;s very lucky that I hate roses (yeah, I said it!) and would much rather have daisies or carnations or whatever else. I don&#8217;t demand flowers or jewelry or chocolate. All I want is to spend the evening with him with a home-cooked meal and just relax together.<\/p>\n<p>The last 2+ years have been amazing with my fabulous fantastic fianc\u00e9. I cannot even begin to put into words how lucky I am to have met him and have him in my life. I cannot wait to spend the next 40-50 years (hey, we&#8217;re old) with him and our children and our pets.  We have a life plan and are just waiting for the first domino to fall into place. The rest of the dominos are set up ready to go. <\/p>\n<p>He is amazing and romantic and has the most amazing heart, similar ambitions and dreams, and goals&#8230; the man has goals! He loves me for who I am and doesn&#8217;t care what I look like or how miserable I am with myself. He loves me unconditionally and I am ridiculously lucky.<\/p>\n<p>This year, I drew him 2 cards. One was a wedding\/ Vegas scene with us standing in front of the Luxor pyramid with the Welcome sign in the background. Below is my actual valentine&#8217;s card to him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_-IKaV82Z3Eo\/S3dYfbyVS8I\/AAAAAAAAAYE\/iesmjw4W0Rs\/s1600-h\/vday10.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_-IKaV82Z3Eo\/S3dYfbyVS8I\/AAAAAAAAAYE\/iesmjw4W0Rs\/s400\/vday10.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>What do you like to do on Valentine&#8217;s and who do you like to spend it with?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy valentine&#8217;s weekend.
