• Good morning.  Its a lazy day today.  I have the option of going to town, and wandering around (on my own)  Or going back to bed and staying there as long as I want.  Did I mention I LOVE my hubby~~he gives me this option every Friday, and man is it a life saver.  The insanity that is my life, would be so hard to cope with if it weren't for him. 

  
  

  When blogging about my engagement, I started thinking about the other times that romance went afoul in our lives.  So today we have....

  
  

  The First Kiss

  
  

  We had known each other for 9 years, and only exchanged a couple hugs.  When he announced he was moving up here...I was hoping that would change.  LOL  So after a lovely dinner and a nice talk beside my lovely warm fire.  He decided to head out for the night.  In the past this had always meant a hug.  I assumed that was what was gonna happen this time.  So went to hug him.  He assumed he was gonna exchange our first kiss.  But as I couldn't read his mind...we headed together and I managed to knock his glasses off as he went for my face  

  
  

  I was like...oh I'm so sorry.  And we kinda laughed.  And then he said...."I was trying to kiss you."  (with frustration in his voice)  "I said,  oh well we can try again then can't we."    Now as I'd been very shy about all of this I'm still trying to figure out how I got the courage to say that.  ROFL    So he muttered embarassedly...ok.

  
  

  He swooped in we had a very demure peck.  And then he took 3 steps out my front door and WIPED out on the deck.  I started laughing.  He said..."Well, if this is the way its gonna go when we kiss, maybe we shouldn't kiss until we get married."  I laughed and informed him otherwise.  And we sure did master that art quickly.  ROFL 

  
  

  But you know what?  For all the times romance went a little well screwy...it sure makes for good memories   

  
  

  I could tell you about our first Valentines Day we celebrated....where he bought me the first card he could find with a heart on it...........and it said Happy  Birthday.  LOL  (I guess he didn't realize he had to read them.   So He crossed out happy birthday, tore out the inside...and Wrote something like...."Well Happy Valentines Day...even if I do think its full of prunes & pazardus.  (A inside joke).  I still have that card lol.

  
  

  How about our second Valentines Day.  I was on bedrest with Kaylin in my womb.  We had left our couch behind at the apartment as it died.  So I was laying on a twin size mattress on the floor.  He decided even though we were quite broke he was gonna go to the Salvation Army etc and find me a couch.  Oh and he found me one.  It was orange & yellow roses.  The UGLIEST colors you've ever seen.   I managed to hide the tears until after he went back to my moms to return the truck he picked it up with.   My mom snuck over and helped me find the "good" in it ROFL...and when I got off bed-rest we spray painted it mauve.  And it still sits in my living room today.  It is actually the worlds most comfortable couch, if not for the lovely color it started out to be. 

  
  

  And our third Valentines DAy????  Well he was gonna do it up good.  We actually had money this time.  So he hired a babysitter.  Rented a motel room.  Left a trail of roses in it.  Sparkling Cider.  And packed my clothes.  He kidnapped me in jeans & sweat shirt.  I got there and went to get out my clothes so we could go to one of the nicest restaurants in town...and well the black jumper he packed me was DIRTY on the front.    ROFL   I did manage to NOT cry this time...snicker.  And figured out the jumper was just a teensy bit low if I switched it so the dirt was in the back.  And put my jacket over the dirt.   (and being low didn't hurt Rob's feelings at all  snicker)   We did have a pretty good evening, and that was the only hitch.

  
  

  This year Valentines Day went off normally.  Roses, and a saphire pendant.  And you know what?? it was a bit boring too.  LOL  So  I don't think I'll complain about the disasters anymore

  
  

  Father God, I thank you for spontenaity in life, and I ask that you will help me to find the humour in life, and not panic when things go wrong.  I thank you for this day, and for all you are going to do for us in it.    I ask for you calm spirit in my life.  In your sons name, Amen
