Aaron and I are both procrastinators. So it didn’t surprise either of us that we both planned on doing our Valentine’s Day shopping after we got off work. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, eh?
How did we spend our Valentine’s Day evening? Well, we had a lovely dinner of McDonald’s by the light of the TV, which was showing American Idol. We exchanged gifts. For me, the Kingdom of Heaven DVD and chocolate truffles. For him, Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses DVD and the book Son of a Witch, the sequel to Wicked.
After American Idol, it was House and then the remainder of the Westminster Dog Show as we ate some of the chocolates. Yeah, we’re true romantics.
Truthfully, we both considered calling off the whole gift-giving thing. Our anniversary is next month, and Valentine’s Day has really never been that important to us. I don’t need a special day of the year to demonstrate how much I love Aaron.
He’s my best friend, my lover, my husband, and the father of our precious daughter. He’s my partner and my support. He keeps me sane, makes me laugh when I’m down, and wipes away my tears. We don’t always agree (who does?), but we care enough about each other to work through any problems we may encounter. And I’m so grateful that I have him with me on this journey of life.
I love you, dear. Happy Valentine’s Day.
I love you too.
awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Have I mentioned the Kaiser is an Aaron? And I’m an Erin? We like us some Aaron’s.
I knew you were Erin, but I didn’t know the Kaiser is an Aaron.
After reading about your Aaron, I’m convinced they’re really clones of the same man.
