Today is A's birthday! If you ask me, this is a pretty important day to celebrate. If you ask him, he will probably tell you that it is no big deal. But how can this be no big deal? A is one the most generous and selfless people that I know. He is constantly putting others before him and has literally given the shirt off his back for others. He loves to make people laugh. He is amazing with our nieces and nephews, all kids really, and will one day be an amazing father. He is a hard working, easy going, big hearted man. The birth of someone this amazing must be, and will be celebrated!
So Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! May this year be your best yet and may you know how much you are loved and appreciated by those around you!

Valentine's Day!
I will proudly admit that I love Valentine's Day. The candy hearts, flowers, red and pink frosted cookies and cakes, the little paper valentines with cute sayings...all of it invokes warm fuzzy feelings.
This year, A and I agreed that we would not exchange gifts. So a few days before v-day, I went to the store and milled over the various cards to find the perfect one to express how I feel. It took some time, but I found the perfect card for our first Valentine's Day as husband and wife.
On the eve of the big day, A surprised me with an early Valentine's Day gift. And though it broke the rule of not exchanging gifts, I greedily took the box and opened it. He had got me a new chain for the cross he had bought me previously, because I had broke my last one and had not been able to wear it. A knew I had been missing it and wanted me to be able to wear my cross on our dinner date the next evening. His thoughtfulness was another reminder of why I am so in love with him.
Monday came and though I was still not sure where he had made reservations for dinner, I felt I had it narrowed down to a possible three: Palmer's, The Melting Pot, (I had been dropping not so subtle hints about wanting to go there), and Kurt's, which is our standing favorite. It ended up being Kurt's. I was thrilled that it was one of my three possibilities, as I like to be right. As always, the food was delicious. We had the bruschetta (which is a must), deep fried dinner rolls, Lobster Bisque, and steaks (I had the petite fillet and A had a rib-eye). I think the last time we went out alone for a "nice" dinner was the week we got married, so it was wonderful to have some "us" time away from our daily lives.
It was probably the best Valentine's Days I have had, with just enough of the commercialization, the comfort of being with someone who truly knows me, and the thrill of having a day dedicated to celebrating how much you love those around you.
Happy Valentine's Day!
