It was an odd day for me being my first valentines being single again, but i think overall it just filled me with hope for the future and a desire to learn from my past.<br />Glad yours was so lovely :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06099572943863834445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-76312023191513450942010-02-15T10:27:27.019-08:002010-02-15T10:27:27.019-08:00Yes, Valentine's is over....EXCEPT in Maryland...Yes, Valentine's is over....EXCEPT in Maryland where the Governor has extended it a week due to the snow. Can he do that??<br /><br />I had a delightful non-Valentine's dinner including homemade bread, bison stew, and local Maryland wine and lots of good conversation about local food.<br /><br />Yours sounds blissful...Emily L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02056758601209454093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-83710599017759445822010-02-15T08:11:55.296-08:002010-02-15T08:11:55.296-08:00my sunday was perfect too (although i celebrated m...my sunday was perfect too (although i celebrated most of it sans husband) - got up late after a long sleep (delicious), then sat in the living room and talked about/finished planning the last details of our trip, saw steve off to work, sat around watching pvr'd shows (what not to wear and other sad addictions) for a couple hours, cleaned the kitchen, took the dogs for a looong walk, packed most of my clothes for the trip (packing for a month is HARD), cleaned a bathroom, made a simple supper and watched the men's moguls (SOOOO EXCITING!!! i screamed at my tv when canada won gold). a great day by all accounts actually! <br /><br />and i agree about a marriage being work - but i'm ok with that too. i figure if you don't have to work at it you're being lazy and dishonest. the fact that steve and i have been together since childhood (i was 15) makes me think we're pretty good at adapting to each others changing personalities. and isn't it the things that require work that are most satisfying/rewarding in the end anyway?jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680670760558757448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-40098061560830848852010-02-15T06:55:40.283-08:002010-02-15T06:55:40.283-08:00We celebrated with a vegan brunch at one of the fe...We celebrated with a vegan brunch at one of the few good restaurants in town followed by a traipse through the Natural History Museum. Not something i ever thought i'd enjoy for a Valentine's Day (but then again, i've looked down on this holiday as long as i can remember).<br /><br />Marriage is so weird- such an unnatural endeavor in a lot of ways. But i appreciate how concrete it needs to be. I don't think i could ever have a casual or tentative marriage. It's been painful to hammer out; but the changes give me hope.<br /><br />I admire the two of you still changing and clearly enjoying so much of your lives.Leiflethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316153810618950672noreply@blogger.com
