Oh, it’s what you do to me…

Still pondering on the last post’s song Hey There Delilah.

We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day here at the Rob and Jayleigh house. Our wedding anniversary is next week, and I still don’t know what I’m going to do for Rob then. Our budget is stretched rather tight these days and while we’re certainly making ends meet, we don’t really especially have extra room for super-fun and/or expensive things.

In an effort to not be a Valentine’s Grouch, I took Rob’s hand in mine the other day and told him, “I will now make up a song, spur of the moment for your Valentine’s Present. It won’t rhyme and frankly, I won’t sing it. Here goes:”

My darling love, you are one amazing man. I love you so dearly, and 20 years of Valentine’s Days has only made my love grow stronger for you. You are a handsome man with a beautiful heart. You are loving and good. I couldn’t be more proud of you for taking care of us the way you do. I am so happy to be your wife. The end.

It was really dorky, but it make us both get a little weepy. And then we went back to watching our stupid TV show. There’s nothing good on TV these days. *sigh* But there are all kinds of good things that Our Heavenly Father gives us.

1. Jesus
2. Each Other
3. Amazing Blog Friends who support each other through tough times and celebrate in the good times
4. A Christian Heritage
5. Living in a Free country
6. Tenderhearted friends who, even if they don’t understand or agree with our choices, still love us enough to stand behind us
7. Steak with mushrooms and onions (what’s for supper tonight, darling?)
8. New Cell Phones (hey sweetums… did you say I could have a new cell for our anniversary?)
9. Amazing, fluffy, snowy dogs
10. Parents who love us
11. Mindy getting AWESOME grades (when did that happen?)
12. A great cup of coffee
13. Dotty, who sends a hilarious Valentine’s ecard.
14. Snow on top of the blue picnic table which matches the blue of the office where I am sitting.

Oh guess what! I told my boss yesterday about the Foster Care Training. Remember how I was up at arms about talking with her? Well, she couldn’t have been more excited if I’d told her she was having another grandchild. I’ve worked with her nearly 10 years and I am the same age as her own kids… and I am happy to know that she’s excited for me and didn’t balk at all about my schedule changing. Yay.

Yay God!

(all that worrying for nothing… isn’t that how it always works out?)
