Our Valentine's Day History: Part 3

You know when you're really excited to see a movie or something and you hype it up so much in your mind that the movie can only be a let-down?  I'm afraid, my friends, that I overhyped our Valentine's Day History.  Because really, we only had two bad ones.  So with the let down acknowledged, let's wrap this up, shall we?  I'll try to find embarrassing and completely unrelated pictures of the two of us just to keep you entertained.

The first two Valentine's days were a bust - and that was with us trying to keep them low-key.  On our third Valentine's day, I had to work, so B cooked a late dinner at his apartment and we watched a movie when I got off work.  And do you know what? It was perfect.  No muss, no fuss, no waiting in lines and dealing with pre-fixed menus.  I hate fixed menus.

Unbelievably, actually a picture of us on a Valentine's day...maybe 2 or 3 years ago?

And since then? I've honestly lost track, which must mean they were uneventful and fine.  So we decided the future wouldn't have expectations - outside of spending the day together.  Somewhere along the way, Chinese food became a part of the tradition.  One of us is usually under the weather (seems to be our gig in February), and there have been years when B's birthday has caused the next day to be a little tedious for his impatient wife.

And those memorable Valentine's Days make the less memorable ones so sweet.  So this year, I'm looking forward to Chinese food take-out and a movie with my husband - who dressed up or dressed down is my perfect match.
