Happy Valentine's Day!

It's here! The one day when every couple (ok, maybe just about every couple) in America gets together and expresses their love for one another. I am actually a huge fan of Valentine's Day. I think that when couples have been together a long time, it's nice just to have one special day that is all about them and the love they share. Sure, commercialism is a huge problem with every kind of gimmick imaginable, but I still think that this day is a nice tradition.

I am babysitting for two couples who love each other very much so that they can go out. One on Sunday night and one Monday afternoon. I think that is a good idea because I know the lines must be ridiculously long at all the restaurants tonight. I am glad that I am able to bless them so that they can spend time together without the kids. It's important to nurture that relationship between a husband and wife. Kids are important, but they need to see a model of what a healthy marriage looks like and I believe that that means private dates sometimes!!!

Anyway, for my Valentine's Day, I was supposed to go to Pennsylvania to see my grandparents...but Daddy got sick :( so we couldn't go. I had a free day! So I slept late (10:45) and then did homework from 2 to 4. Daryl and Tara and I watched Taken. It was aaaawesome Liam Neeson was like Jack Bauer on crack!!!
Mommy, Daddy and I had soup for dinner with cheez-its. Now I am going to finish my day with a wonderful evening watching whatever I want in Daryl's room :) He and Tara are out at The Cheesecake Factory. Daryl has like a hundred movies on his computer.
I'll probably end up watching Becoming Jane or some other great sappy movie like that :) Yay!

Happy Valentine's Day all you wonderful couples! Cherish your beloved not only on this day but everyday!
