So for Valentines this year, my hubby and I made a decision not to spend any money. With a HUGE window bill coming due in a couple of months, we are in a crunch to save. No money, no gifts. So, being an elementary teacher, I made a sparkley card when my kids were doing a project. I put glitter and sequins all over it. It was a corney little reminder that I was thinking of him. So strange that it was our 11th Valentines Day together, though.
When I woke up I gave him the card to get nothing in return. No card. Not anywhere in the house. I was broken. Oh well, maybe later. I hoped.
Later I put Carson in the car. I went to sit down in the drivers seat, and noticed a small orage envelope that said "Play Me". It was a cd. I put the cd in excitedly, He DIDN'T forget me! I was thrilled. Then I started weeping as the voice of my husband came out of all the speakers. He was talking to me with our song playing in the background, most certainly created from his music program. He said things I don't hear often, which made me cry even harder. So much for my fresh make-up. After his sweet exclamation of love for me, he played songs that I love!
Honestly, it was the best gift I have ever gotten from him! I like this not spending money thing. Next year, I will have to do something more than making a glamorous card :) That man, never ceases to suprise me.
Happy Valentines Day! I hope yours is as wonderful as mine!
