I’m excited about Valentine’s this year, and its unlike me to be excited over a holiday. Except, this year we will be spending the weekend in Lake Geneva, IL, which is where Paul and I spent the weekend after he proposed to me back in May 2007. He surprised me with a *very* makeshift candlelight dinner, which secretly he set up in my backyard before I came home from work. After he proposed (and of course, I said yes), I just HAD to take pictures of the ring and the table. Yeah, how unromantic, right? I know, I know. I just can’t get away from my habit – had to capture everything in an image.

So off we go, back to Lake Geneva this weekend. It will be nice to reconnect with my best friend again. Being married has its disadvantages – you forget to appreciate each other because you’re now permanently part of each others lives. And like everything else, the grass looks less green when its in your backyard!

And here’s a little something for cupid day – Paul and I had a dumb argument, and didn’t talk for 2 days. He came home with this on the 3rd day and apologized. Not that he was in the wrong in the first place. That’s it — he IS the bigger person in this relationship! So lesson to self this week – life is too short to sweat the small stuff and appreciate what you have, and learn to apologize. *hugs*
