Today is...

...just another day. 

I've never really been one for Valentines Day, as I don't think there should be one day in which someone that loves you should show it. Plus, who wants to pay $50 for $15 worth of flowers because it is the 14th day of February?? Not me!

This is Derek and my third Valentines Day and every year I insist that nothing be done for this stupid holiday, but I guess that this year we both were feeling "romantic", and I use this word lightly because I didn't do anything too romantic, but I did do a couple things for him. He had been looking at getting a camo case (my hunting obsessed honey) for his iPhone, so I beat him to the punch and bought one for him last week. Also, remember that skinny chocolate cake I was going to try on him? Well, I got up early this morning and baked it as a surprise for him, I'm pretty excited to see how he likes it tonight because the batter tasted pretty darn good! 

I was definitely the lucky one this year! Last night, Derek came and picked me up from the school, as he had been locked out of the house, and as I got into the truck, I was met by a beautiful bouquet of  a dozen roses, that smell absolutely wonderful, and a very very large balloon! I felt pretty special! He had been wanting to stash them, and wake me up this morning before he left for work with them in hand. Too bad he got locked out, that would have been pretty cool! He did say though, that it didn't count that he did anything for Valentines, as he gave everything to me on February 13th. What a nut! Below is a picture of me with my flowers, balloon, and the cool vase he got to accompany my gift. The photo of me is terrible, I had just gotten home from working out, so cut me some slack!

To top off this day, I have worked hard to get all my homework done early and one of Derek's favorite meals in mind for tonight, as everyone knows that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach and this is especially true with my man. It may be February 14th, but I do this pretty often and all in all, I love my man. :)

I might just have to break my diet to try some of the chocolate cake tonight. Good thing it is "Skinny Chocolate Cake." ;)

Happy Tuesday!
