Valentines Eve

James always tries to make me feel special. I love it. Friday nights are usually pretty boring in our house because I'm off but James works all day and when he gets home he is tired. So, we usually have pretty lame Friday nights. However, every so often he will call from work which he did today and tell me to be ready he is taking me somewhere. We always have date night every Saturday night so doing it 2 nights in a row is rare. I was so excited today, so I was ready and when he got home, he took me shopping. He does this once every few months where he doesn't complain at how long it takes me, what I buy, and he doesn't tell me "that's enough." I love that. He tries so hard to make me happy. So, tonight we went to the outlet malls about 20 miles from our house and shopped for over 2 hours. It was FUN! He never told me no, don't go in there or that's a lot of money. He just lets me get whatever. I love those nights :) He's a great husband. I love that he does things he doesn't enjoy every once in awhile just to see me happy. Not that I'm not the rest of the time but he does it just to make me feel special. Tomorrow for our Valentine's Day we are going to do a service project in the morning and then go out to dinner and to a pro hockey game tomorrow night. The Tampa Bay lightning are playing the hockey team from Washington DC (the Capitals I think) Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Another week and another illness. It seems like lately all I do is get sick. I'm blaming James for this cold though. He was sick last week and now I have it....but worse. I just got over the stomach flu which has been flowing around here like water. I just had it not more than 2 weeks ago and now this. I think ultimately it is FLORIDA. I've come to the conclusion that cold winters maybe are a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I never want to deal with winter again...well I won't say never but it kills things when it is 5 degrees outside. When it's 70 all winter things just keep growing and blooming. Lots of things bloom here in the winter and so I also have allergies ALL year long,unlike up north where I just had them in the spring. Someday I'll get over all of this so I can run again. Right now I would pass out.....I CAN'T BREATHE!!!
