Happy Valentine's Day!

So Darrell and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day (his logic: I don't like being told when to be affectionate and tell you I love you. My logic: s%&@ is crazy over-priced and restaurants are crazy busy). It's been this way since we started dating (in fact, I know for a fact that the first Valentine's Day we celebrated together was on a Tuesday because the card Darrell bought for me was crossed out and re-written in mulitple places, including the ending, which was modified to read Happy Valentine's Tues Day!) However, Darrell still knows that I love me some chocolate, and especially the Russell Stover chocolates. Which--while they do sell them at all times during the year--they sell them in much larger packages and much wider varieties around Valentine's Day. And while Darrell refuses to prescribe to the typical Valentine's Day mushy-ness and sappy-ness (some things haven't changed in eight years--I got a text from Darrell this morning wishing me a "Happy Friday"), he still knows how to make me feel special. With the most awesome box of chocolates I've ever seen in my life.

And for the record? Darrell actually bought that for me ten days ago; I've just taken forever to get it posted. Which means he doesn't even consider it a Valentine's Day gift--just a random "I'm feeling like being nice" gift. And those are my favorite kind.
