It's that special day...

Is it just me or are people making a bigger deal out of Valentine's Day this year than normal?

I mean, geez...everywhere you turn there's red roses and balloons and candy and PDAs...and wow...


I'm engaged and haven't made that big of a deal with about it...I don't even get to see him today because of our schedules...plus we're both broke so we couldn't really do anything special anyway...sure, I want to spend time with him or at least do something special for him but I can't...


On a side note, I just realized that in the entire two years we've been together...we've never celebrated Valentine's day together as a couple...this would be a third (it just happens that way because of when we started dating...) but still...wow...on the other hand, when we dated for the very first time, he went all out for Valentine's day...he gave me chocolate, a dozen red roses, and a necklace...which I still wear to this day...that makes it...four years old today....wow....


Where has the time gone? It still seems crazy to me that this man that I will be marrying in 16 months is the same boy I've known since second grade...the same boy who became one of my best friends in junior high then my second boyfriend...and then after that try failed, we sorta separated ways but grew close again thanks to choir and after much prodding on both sides from the man Upstairs, we gave it another go...and after all that time, we're still here together...and I can't see myself loving anybody else...he is the love of my life...and he always will be...
