The Bucket List and hot chocolate from Books-A-Million - What a great date!

Valentine's Day turned out to be a great day! Work was good, everyone seemed so happy and cheerful and I received a few special "Cupid" deliveries from my bosses, Paula and Stacy, and one anonymous one (I think from Becky, maybe?) and Joey gave me a dozen red roses and a beautiful card. Then we went out last night to SandHills to see "The Bucket List" (AWESOME MOVIE!) and to our favorite place "Books-a-Million" for hot chocolate and browsing. We had such a fun time and that movie really made me think - the best point of the movie was talking about finding JOY and how these two men with just months to live who were so very different took an adventure and the joy they found...I won't give the ending away but it was one that touched my heart tremendously. One of my favorite sayings is "The best things in life aren't things" and this is very much applicable to this movie.

I really love Valentine's Day - especially since Joey came into my life this time. He makes such a effort to maintain our "sweetheart relationship" and Valentine's Day has become a very special holiday to us. A couple years ago he surprised in a very big way to a carriage ride and he had packed hot cocoa and the works. Another Valentine's Day he prepared a magnificent meal for me, he is so good to me.

Tonight we attended a dance at church and had a very nice time. I love to dance with Joey and I love the way he looks at me and it's like there's no one in the world except the two of us. I love you, Joseph, and I am very thankful for the relationship we have and the love we share for one another. I do believe you are my soul mate - I could never imagine a day without you - I love you very, very much! Thanks for such a great Valentine's Day!
