As one would guess, these six words are partially inspired by the fact that Valentine’s Day was this past Tuesday. They are also inspired by the fact that we really made Valentine’s “Day” extra long:
-Three weeks ago we gave each other early gifts (and I got one of mine, even sooner than that!)
-Two weeks ago, we celebrated with a weekend together that included a road trip to Mexico (Maine), some cookies in bed and breakfast muffins.
-Starting on Valentine’s Day, Jenn starting giving me a gift a day for seven days. And I got her some roses the day after Valentine’s Day (we rode to work together Tuesday so I couldn’t surprise her).

If I look back at past years, we’ve done similar things, like stretching out the holiday to two separate weekends, and Jenn did her seven days of Valentine’s Day for me last year, too! And then if I look back at various times over the past 4.12 years, I can see how much we appreciate each other by going out on date nights, both planned and spontaneous, by giving each other surprises, and by doing little things to help each other out. Even though we may kick it up a notch for Valentine’s and our Anniversaries, we’re really always in a “Valentine’s Day” mindset, and I hope that it will last forever! (I think it will)
