This was us last year on Valentines day. We went to Benihanas for dinner and had a great time!
The reason that Valentines day brings me to a time of reflection is because of my Valentines day from two years ago. I was having a surgery that would either save my leg or force me in to amputaion. It was a very dark time in my life. Throughout all of my surgeries and all of the therapy I had tried really hard to be positive and happy, but I had hit a low. After seeing many doctors and specialists, a doctor in California suggested a new experimental surgery. He knew a doctor at the University of Utah and they worked out a plan to try and save my leg.
I realize this is a gross picture...but it is what it is! Sorry to all the squemish ones!
I never imagined during that time when I was at an all time low, that one year later I would be married and feeling a high I had only dreamed of. Now two years later it is even better. I guess you never know what life brings, you just have to hang in during the lows, so you can feel the highs!

I know this comment is totally unrelated to your post, but I have to ask when your kid is coming. Your previous post (on 1/27ish) said you were 4 weeks away... so going by that estimate you should be nursing her by now. I keep telling Betsy to call you, but she says stuff like, "I would be totally bugged if everyone I knew called me to ask something like that when I was miserable from head to toe and had to tell them 'Nope, not yet'." She's confident you'll call when she pops out, but I still had to ask.
