Valentines day is one of my favorites days. It always has been. Maybe it is the lover inside of me or not. Any way, we had a wonderful day. It started out on Friday. Yes, Friday the 13th. I always get the girls a flower and take it to school where they can show off to the other girls and make the boys jealous. That is the main reason I started this tradition is that I wanted to send these young high school boys a message, "My girls are already taken thank you". I never meant for this event to become a tradition, but a week before Nikki, Hailee, or Rachel asked me if I was going to get them a flower this year because Valentines day was on a Saturday instead of a school day. I told them that no I wasn't going to get them a flower and the mutiny began. I didn't let them know that I was going to get them a flower until they got one at school on Friday afternoon.
A couple of weeks earlier, I got Lorie her Valentine day card. I like funny cards not the goofy sentimental ones that are nothing but mush. Then on Friday night we went into Price and I got her a Valentine present, the Pride and Prejudice on DVD. I can't ever surprise her though as she is always with me. We also bought 4 lobster tails, boy were they at a good price, six dollars a piece. Then we came home and watched Casino Royal.
Saturday, Valentines Day, I put up the lights in the garage and tidied up some electrical projects. Lorie cooked the lobster tails purchased the night before and we sat down to a wonderful candle light dinner. Salad, shrimp, asparagus, and a baked potato. We shared our bootie with the girls who kindly ate downstairs, probably because they thought we would kiss or something. We didn't though, it was a very proper dinner. Lorie and given me a bottle of Diesel Colon and all day long the girls said I smelled nice. That is Lorie's and especially Hailee's new favorite smell. We also talked with Jackie and asked her how her date went the night before (Friday Night). She is a good girl and we miss her as she is out on her own living in Logan and going to school. After dinner, I helped Lorie and the girls do dishes and then we retired to the family room to watch Third Rock from the Sun reruns until midnight. It was a great day to remember.

I always loved Valentine's Day at home. Luckily you still made my day just like all the Valentine's Day when I still lived at home. We love you for everything you do for us Dad. Love you!
Oh, that is so sweet! You are an awesome husband and father! We bought a Costco chicken for dinner; at least my hubby was here to enjoy the day with!
