Today is Valentine's Day. We have been wondering how we would celebrate it, and we now know.
We ate dinner, played a game (Ingenious), cleaned up house, and while eating desert and watching "Psych" Jon exclaimed:
"We're an old couple! We're spending Valentines Day in front of the television in our jogging pants, eating Jello out of plastic bowls!
This is awesome."
Marriage rocks. I think particularly as we are living with each other after we're married, every day is a valentine's day. Every time we wake up together, cook together, watch shows together, hang out in the office together, do errands together, clean together - it all has this sense of "wow, finally!!!" It's like a fun slumber party that keeps going on and on with my bestest of best friends- and with the marriage commitment we know it won't end if one of us gets upset, moody, or bored! So it would of felt silly to do anything super special: vowing his love and life is enough for me to know how deeply Jon loves and cherishes me every day.
Now one day, when we emerge from the honeymoon-phase, maybe Valentine's Day will merit a night-out. But this year, our new "normal" is just right.
