comfort.

thoughts on valentine's day.

as i met with our mom's group today, we were talking about our valentine's day plans...

realizing i had none, i reminisced about our very first valentine's day...

if you remember, we just celebrated our 9th date-iversary a few days ago...so, we celebrated our first valentine's day just days after our first date...pressure.

i made nate a card. i was so stressed about it because it was the first time i was putting myself "out there"...he awkwardly received it and hid it from his parents and siblings so that he wouldn't get the inevitable attention of "awwwwww"s...and i awkwardly received yellow sweetheart roses. we then went to the movies and watched "Catch Me if You Can" and we both fell asleep...yup, in the theater...we are party animals.

truth is, i knew that day that we were meant for eachother. it was this day that we held hands for the first time while walking...and i know it seems pathetically corny to remember such dates...but holding hands in the car is different than holding hands while walking...when you're walking, you're publically going somewhere together...people saw us as "together"...and there was something very comfortable about being his.

these days, we experience a different kind of comfort. it's the pressure-free, no need to impress kind of comfort that our marriage is enjoying....and i'm the first to admit, that i'm a romance-hungry type of girl...and nate is not so much that kind of guy...but in some strange, comfortable way...we balance eachother...he's the first to admit that he rocks my world (hahaha....), but i have to agree.

happy valentine's day to you!! may you share it with those you love and love you.

..."but the greatest of these is love."
