Valentine's

Scott and I have been together for 10 years now and the only Valentine's Day that we have ever celebrated was the first one that came around while we were dating. Scott is one of those people that doesn't believe in the commercialism of the holiday. He feels that we already have a day in which we show our love for each other - our anniversary. After years of being upset at my husband everytime February rolled around, I began to just think of Valentine's Day as another day on the calendar.

With that all said, you can see why I was surprised on Thursday night. I was sitting on the couch watching who knows what, when Scott comes over to me with a big grin on his face and something small in his hand. He held out his hand for me to take the item. I can't express to you how happy and excited I was to see that what he held in his hand was a new iPod Nano. I have been wanting an iPod now for years. He was too excited to wait for Valentine's Day to give it to me. Even after 10 years, sometimes the guy completely surprises me.

I am sitting here now, downloading CDs to my computer, loving my husband.
