Anywho, the paper was talking about Valentine’s Day and how men spend more than women because they are guilted into it and that women express their love all year round and this is the one day that men have to.
One woman went so far as to say that she didn’t have to buy her Valentine anything because it was “her” holiday.
I’ve been thinking about this alot since I read that article, and yes, I even read it to Tim. I didn’t do it to guilt him into it rather because I thought it was comical.
See, I don’t see Valentine’s Day as my holiday. However, I am a woman and I do like to be wooed from time to time. I just happened to fall in love with a man who isn’t a wooer. And that’s fine by me.
Let me tell you why.
He may not shower me with gifts and call me by a pet name. (That’s sickening anyway…)
However, have you seen my house? Have you seen my new doors? Did you tell you about the new office that he’s building me? Did you see the new bedroom? Did you notice how my car still runs? Have I told you about the girls’ nights out that I’ve been able to participate in?
See…
None of those things would happen, look as nice, etc if it weren’t for him.
I’ve been posting pictures of his latest remodeling project and my friends are jealous because their husbands can’t do it or won’t do it unless they are nagged about it. I don’t have to nag. (Shoot, half the time I just come home and walls are gone!)
No, I don’t see today as my holiday.
I was very tickled with the sappy card that was on my desk this morning when I got up. Did he do it because he was guilted into it? Maybe…I don’t know. I hope I didn’t guilt him into anything.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes love is more than gifts and words.
And I’m the luckiest woman in the world.
Until next time…
Heather
PS. Tim…if you’re reading this, our anniversary is on the 28th of this month and I will guilt you in to at least a card for that… 
Love ya!
