Today has quite possibly been the best Valentines Day ever. Flowers, chocolates, cards, poetry, serenades, and a beautiful man...
The beautiful man was, of course, my boyfriend. He went under the alias of Charles Mason (not to be confused with Charles Manson...) tonight. Such a versatile fellow. But the great day started when I woke up to a long-stemmed rose from one roommate and hand-written poetry from another (something along the lines of:
All I want to say, Bob
Is I think you're pretty hot
You help to keep me sane, Bob
Unbelievable that is not!
Hard to believe she's not even an English major...Is I think you're pretty hot
You help to keep me sane, Bob
Unbelievable that is not!
Then that night a group of female friends from church got together for pizza, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and chick flix. The final vote came down to "Steel Magnolias" vs "Wedding Present" (with Cary Grant). The latter won out. After the movie a couple of guy friends from the neighborhood stopped by to recite a poem and sing Billy Joel's "She's Got a Way" (sweet guys - they sang to all the girls' apartments in the area). It was actually the most depressing point in the day. Not that they sang poorly. O, contraire. It's just that I knew they weren't singing it for me, or rather, that they didn't mean the words for me. *sigh* maybe I'll have my very own Billy Joel someday... Then after they left we closed the party with a few songs of our own, with impromptu lyrics that had us all rolling on the floor. It's amazing how entertaining three guitar chords can be with a little wit...
I hope your V-day was fantastic, too...

Aww! I miss my beautiful girls! I'm glad you had such a great day!
piqpar, have i told you lately that i love you? have i told you there's no one else above you? you fill my heart with gladness. life without you is madness. but then again, we were all mad when you were here, too... i miss your stinkin' guts! and i'm so jealous c&a get to see you and i don't *sniffle!* enjoy them thoroughly, ok?
Once you've been married for awhile V-day gets fun. No flowers or any of that mushy stuff. The ward is having a Cake and Karaoke party and I told Nathan that for my V-day gift I want him to make a fool of himself (if thats not love, I don't know what is).
We're singing My Little Buttercup and doing the Three Amigos dance infront of the whole ward. I'm *hoping* to be able to put the video of it on my blog. Stay tuned! :D
i am soooooooo looking forward to that video!
