Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's day. A holiday that is truly a greeting card holiday, but one that John makes sure I enjoy. We said we wouldn't get each other gifts this year, but I got a delivery in my office. A box of M & M's that he had personalized to say "I love you, Kim". This gesture was a big hit in my office since many people didn't even know it was possible to get these candies personalized. John knows how to make me smile the brightest. Last night, he surprised me by taking me out to dinner. I wasn't expecting to go out at all since he has to work tonight and I have Bible study. Yet John decided not to be bound by the calendar and he took me to the Melting Pot last night for a Valentine's Day meal where we both indulged ourselves to the point of stuffed-ness. Starting a meal with hot cheese and ending it with melted chocolate is the fastest route to my heart. But the best part about being married to John cannot be summed up in his sweetness over the past two days. John is sweet all year. He's regularly surprising me and making me smile and he enjoys finding new ways to continually woo me even though I've already committed my life to him. I don't know how I got so lucky to end up with someone who is so good to me, but I'm grateful for who he is as much as what he does. His actions are simply reflections of his generous and caring heart.
