Valentines Day was great. I am still getting accustomed to not being dissapointed. It's... not as bad as it used to be, but after so long, even two years of being with him isn't enough time to let all of my barriers fall completely. So my gift to him was small but cute. He absolutely loves bacon. His favorite saying is "Bacon is what makes other foods worth eating". So, I got him two small Bacon bars from Haut Chocolate. One for him to try, and the other for him to just have. The look of his face was priceless. I only wish my camera wasn't busted. Even with fresh batteries it goes into coniptions and won't turn on. I think it's still mad at me for not using it as much during my photography class. Anyways, Along with his mini bacon bars, I also got him an assortment of dark chocolates, because I know he loves it. I got him a Hershey's Special Dark (The easiest one to eat), the Cherry Chili concoction by Lindt (One I know he likes), and another Lindt bar that is just straight 85% Dark chocolate( He likes it, but he says its so strong it will take him a while to eat it all). And ofcourse, he topped me again.
Chocolates or flowers? Nope, none of that. I bought flowers for myself though. No, he did something better though. He tricked me into going to the mall. He said that his parents wanted another painting of a lighthouse to add to their collection. So I walk in and begin to look at a languid pace, because you can't just rush when it comes to looking at art. And I try to get his attention, but he barrels on through the store like the brute he is. When he goes up to the clerk and gives his name, I was a bit put off because I wanted to look around and pick out a nice print for his parents, otherwise why even invite me to look with him. And before I could give him a piece of my mind, the clerk of the store comes out with the painting. It wasn't a light house at all! It took me a few moments to gather my wits because I was ready to be very annoyed with him. Then I realized what the painting was. It's a print of the hands of God and man in a lighter but still warm sepia/peach tone. It was one that I found and took to MONTHES earlier! But it was so long ago that I had completely forgotten about it! They were talking and asking me if I liked it, but I was still absorbing it. The clerk was soon touched by the tears that soon followed, well seeped as I realized exactly what he had done. I picked out a frame that went well with the tones in the print. There was a dark wood frame on it, but it darkened it too much. So I went with a lighter wood. I was in a bit of a daze though. So now here I sit with a lively print to remind me just how incredibly lucky I am to have such an amazing man. Of all the men I've dated, I have never... EVER felt so Loved. I have no idea how many times I told him that I loved him yesterday, but it didn't feel like enough... He could have gotten me jewelry, he could've gotten me a giftcard, or flowers, or anything else... but to show that he really does listen and really cares about me... and Really loves to see that ridiculous face I make when I get a great surprise... It means so much to me...
