Valentine's Day 2025 was the best one in years by far!
I wore my heart sweater. It was the perfect day for it!
David (that's my boyfriend; I don't think I've "introduced" him by name on the blog here yet, so now I have!) made me this big heart-shaped cookie that said "Bee mine" and dropped it off in the morning before he went to work. The "bee" is bee-cause (ha ha) he does beekeeping as a hobby. He's also a good baker, and this cookie was delicious! It was such a sweet (literally) gift.
He brought me a dozen roses too. It's so fun to having a great boyfriend and romance in my life again. That's the main reason why it was the best Valentine's Day in years.
That afternoon I went to a delicious Galentine's lunch at Meredith's.
My ministering sisters Jenny and Anna gave me this beautiful bouquet of flowers and some treats.
There were chocolate caramel owls! My friends know me well!
And finally, that evening I went over to my friend Vera's house with our friend Jen for a Galentine's dinner with the three of us and two of Vera's kids.
Vera's husband is my good friend Kevin from high school (we were in the same ward growing up), and her son from her first marriage is one of John's best friends. Vera, Jen, and I got together on V-Day for dinner because Kevin was traveling, I'm still single (these plans had been made before David really came into my life), and Jen is almost divorced. All three of us have been divorced, so we are our own special little tribe.
That's heart-shaped pasta in case you couldn't tell!
Between David and good friends, and literally from morning to afternoon to evening, it was a lovely Valentine's Day that was full of love, affection, friendship, and things and people who I love. đŸ’–
