Every now and then, believe it or not, I get a chance to "eat my words"! I was just talking to another mom a couple of days ago about how Michael and I don't do much for Valentines Day. Mostly because restaurants are so crowded (so no dinner out), I'm usually on a diet (so no chocolates) and we really don't need another stuffed anything (so no teddy bears). Plus, I really know how tenderly Michael cares for me and how much he loves me because of the way he treats me the OTHER 364 days of the year. So, I was explaining how it would probably be just cards exchanged and that would be it. And that's REALLY not a big deal to me!! And then guess what....
Look at these beauties!! Michael brought them home for me on Friday....he knows I'm a sucker for fresh flowers! The lilies just started opening up today and ohhh the smell! Lovely!

And then on Saturday a gift bag shows up on the bar while I'm out running and when I get in, he casually asks "What's in that bag?"...so I look and

It's this super cute red scarf. Love it! And also there was a "coupon" for a free foot massage, (which I took him up on last night after running 9 1/2 miles earlier in the day!! 1/2 marathon here I come!!)
I so love Michael. I love how he does little things for me when I least expect it!
And then we got a BONUS surprise for Valentine's Day. On Saturday morning while we were getting breakfast ready, someone rang our doorbell. NOBODY EVER comes to our front door!! We thought at first that it was Josiah, but spotting Josiah in the dining room and taking a quick head count, we knew it had to be an outsider! Turns out it was the Fed Ex guy. That's a first...really! No one has EVER left a pkg at our front door. UPS and Fed Ex just usually leave it at the gate. So we were really wondering what it was all about. Must be special!!
Then I saw the box....Shari's Berries! Being a good conservative listening to Fox Radio, I've naturally heard about Shari's Berries. If you've ever listened to Sean Hannity, you've heard him rave about SB. Now we were getting a chance to taste them first hand.

And look at those lovelies!!! Man, they were so pretty and even though we hadn't even had breakfast, we ate them! They were delicious...way beyond delicious!! And the card inside read "To our favorite Valentines" Love, Tony and Gin-Gin.

Funny thing was Michael had JUST been cleaning some strawberries for breakfast and commenting about how much he loves chocolate covered strawberries when the doorbell rang! Thanks soooooo much Tony and Gin-Gin for a wonderful super special Valentine's Day treat!
So, in case you're ever wondering about Shari's Berries....they are as good as Hannity makes them out to be!!

Seriously, 9 1/2 miles? You are AMAZING!! Love the scarf and the berries look so yummy. Good thing I made chocolate covered strawberries (not nearly as fancy as those but still delish!) this morning for us and for my SS girls or my mouth would really be watering right now!
You can bring your leftover SBs to Bryan on Wednesday, so we can taste them too. .....What's that I am hearing? "Yeah, right? What leftover berries?" OK you can get up off the floor from laughing, and just let me smell your breath--that will be sufficient, I guess.
I can't tell which looks better, the flowers the scarf or the berries! Those berries look pretty amazing! If you would come to OK, you could use the scarf while you run! :-) That's so fun that your Valentine's Day turned out to be so festive after all. Those are the GOOD kind of words to eat for sure!
You ARE a very special Valentine!!
Do you run 9 1/2 miles alone...or is one of your boys with you?
Either way...I'm impressed!!
I like the scarf.
