Happy Valentine’s Day
We have chosen the winner of the year’s supply of Brewed Chocolate. Congratulations to Dana Stone! Thank you for sharing your romantic Valentine’s Day story. When I read your story, I felt butterflies, too!
My husband is Active Duty Army. One year when he was deployed he filled out an entire box of valentines for me….you know the little ones that kids give out in school? The ones with a mini-envelope?
Well, he wrote a sweet message on EVERY ONE. Some were silly and some were romantic…it took me days to open them all and I still find them tucked in books as bookmarks, on my desk, etc and it brings back the memories of the (what felt like) million little love notes!
My favorite one was “If I was really a kid in kindergarden and I really did like you, I wouldn’t send this card to you…I’d just throw a pinecone at you or pull your braids!” So now we always joke about throwing a pinecone at each other.
I hid cards in his bags (he deployed again last week) but I only hid a few…not the dozens that he sent!
What a sweet husband! I know he’ll love finding your cards, too. Feel free to share again. Thanks, Dana. We at Cabaret send our best wishes to you and your husband.
Thank you to everyone for sharing your wonderful stories with us. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Oh thank you so much! I’ll throw in another fun Valentine’s story for you.
I hid some cards in his bags and he found his cards and loved them. But silly me, I went through dozens of cards and picked out a bunch that I liked the most.
Turns out that they are the EXACT same cards that I sent him 2 years ago when he was deployed last time! I didn’t believe him at first but when he read them to me over the phone, I realized that the phrases did sound familiar! I must have loved them the first time too!
I love memorable Valentine’s Days. And what a lovely husband to have remembered the cards from 2 years ago so well!
