Love doesn't stink.
Yesterday was Valentine's day and I can honestly say my wife and I had a great day!
I cut out from work a little early (thanks to my great boss!) and went home to put on the "monkey suit" to get ready for the night's festivities. The first part of our evening was really rushed and hectic as we had to be out the door and out to my old stomping grounds in Polk County for a big surprise. We arrived at the Ocoee Gondolier resturaunt a few minutes before 6pm to be part of a big event in a lot of peoples lives.
At a few minutes after 6pm my mom and her boyfriend arrived at the resturant. He had this all planned out but she was totally surprised. With everyone looking on he popped the question and she said yes!
What an interesting situation. I'm sure I will write on that more at a later time. There's nothing bad about it, it's just a curious place I find myself in to be 35 and watch my mom be in love again after losing my dad to a heart attack in 2002.
After the proposal I wisked my family away, we dropped the kids off at a friends house and went out for a night of dinner and dancing...me in my tux, her in a nice dress. We had a great time and I felt like it was a time to really connect with my wife.
Love isn't always easy...and I wouldn't say it smells like roses...but I don't think it stinks. I think it's kinda nice.
