Some might say the Valentines Day is overrated, that it's a "retail" holiday that forces people to buy stuff they don't need just to prove they love another person. Yes, I can see that point of view, but I don't agree with it.
Travis has always been awesome to me on Valentines Day. He's actually pretty awesome to me most days of the year. The exception would be on those days that I bug the living shit out of him and make him wanna pull what's left of his hair out. But yes, he loves me pretty much 24/7. He doesn't really NEED to go buy me stuff for V-Day, but he does. He does it because he knows it means a lot to me and that alone shows how much he cares. I always tell him that I'd be happy with just a hand written love letter, but somehow I always get more than that.
Travis is a rare breed. He stopped buying cards for me, he now makes his own. He puts his own personal touch on the cards and I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I know that when he gives me a card there aren't 2,000 other ladies in California getting the same card as I am.
This year he not only made my card , but I got chocolate covered strawberries ** I might add that he ate most of them**, flowers, and singing balloons. But the greatest of the gifts was a bag of red and white personalized M-n-M's that said: TRAVIS-n-SHAWNA TOGETHER FOREVER. I admit that I haven't eaten them yet, I'm afraid to. They're too pretty to eat. But the funniest thing was that when I opened the gift bag and pulled out M-n-M's, Faith yells out, "FOR MY POOP!?!?!" because that is her prize of choice for when she goes poop. It was pretty funny!
And because I love my man, I got him Slim Jims and Raisinets for V-Day. :o)
