Normally we do not celebrate Valentines Day, but we have in the past and this year we did a little something. Our very first Valentines Day I was surprised with a dozen red roses, chocolates, a necklace, and a candlelit poetry reading. Eli wrote me a beautiful poem and read it aloud.
It is an amazing thing to love someone so much.
Looking into your eyes I forget all fear.
No sacrifice is too great,
For my love goes beyond death.
And I will love you,
Forever with all my heart.
Now that is hard to beat, but I think that Eli has out done himself this year. For Christmas we were separated geographically. Eli was in Osceola, WI, with his family and I was working here in Milwaukee, WI. I started buying up all the presents I could for Eli, but Eli just couldn't find the perfect gift for me. Well, he splurged for Valentines Day and got me the very best gift.
