Will You Be My Valentine?

This was the most special Valentine's Day I have ever had. The primary reason for that is the little one pictured at he bottom of this post. His daddy isn't too shabby either. I must be honest and say that I didn't expect much for Valentine's Day. Actually, I didn't expect anything. Maybe a card or a "Will you be my Valentine?," but really not even that. To my surprise, I got much more than I expected. Aaron & I had gone out on a date last Friday. I kind of thought..."This will be our Valentine's date"...so I was completely surprised when he called me Friday morning to inform me he was taking me out. I was SO excited, but had no idea what he had planned. He made arrangements for someone to keep Levi and all I had to do was be ready when he got home. We took Levi to his grandparents, and then headed to Atlantic Station to check out the Bodies Exhibit! I was so excited! I know what you are thinking...dead bodies - how romantic, but I have been wanting to go to this exhibit for a while now, so it was perfect. The exhibit was so interesting and we had a great time looking at all the exhibits. Our favorite part was the exhibit on fetus development. This exhibit showed the human development in the womb. It was amazing to see. After the exhibit we went to dinner and then home. It was great, and that would have been enough, but Aaron had a little more up his sleeve. Saturday morning I gave Aaron a card from me and a card from Levi. I really wasn't expecting anything, but Aaron had a two cards for me. One from him and one from Levi. Everything was great, but my card from Levi was the icing on the cake. He then served us breakfast...Krispy Kreme doughnuts!! I know it wasn't some elaborate cooked eggs and bacon breakfast, but Krispy Kreme doughnuts are my favorite and an indulgence I rarely get, so it was a special treat. I've already told Aaron how wonderful he is, and now this is my chance to share it with everyone else. He is amazing, and I am so lucky to have him in my life. Thanks for being my special Valentine not just today, but everyday. Levi was my other Valentine, so I couldn't leave him out. This is him enjoying his special Valentine from Grandmama & Grandaddy. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine with those you love.
