Yesterday I woke up and wanted to hate Valentine's Day and all that it stood for. Until I sat up on the couch and realized that Valentine's Day wasn't about who was dating whom...it's about who you spend it with...
I got to wake up and be surrounded by my family. Breakfast was already made (French Toast) and although everybody but Mary Cate and I had eaten, everybody was still in the kitchen. I sat down to find my name written on a lacy doily and a cup full of chocolate, socks, a lint roller (yay!) and a card. It was a great way to start the morning.
From there, it only got better. I went to church and listened to a sermon on marriage. And while I don't believe that I will get married anytime soon, I listened to it and retained quite a bit of information that I will be taking with me throughout my life.
After church, there was a group of people who were renewing their wedding vows. People who've been married from 71 days to 65 years were there renewing their love for one another. And I was privilaged enough to witness it (and be photographer).
After church I went home and we had a HUGE lunch of ribs, rice, and beans. It was very delicious =D and it made for good leftovers too! Mary Cate and I just kind of hung around the house and took naps until 5:00 when we picked up one of my best friends- Carissa Miller. The three of us went to Chili's for dinner and our waitress was my friend Becky and Ryan C. was one of our hosts =D It made for good conversation. And again, I was surrounded by people who I loved.
So even though I may not have had a boyfriend, I still had the privilege to be surrounded by love.
