Valentine's Day

So yesterday was Valentines Day. It isn't really a holiday I get into, I'm not girly enough probably, but it ended up being a great day anyways. I had made chocolate covered fruit for my coworker who is so good to me, and I know she loves chocolate covered oranges and bananas. She never lets on to what she likes, so when she let this one slip I knew I had to act. So it felt good to surprise her.

Then she gave me a thing of Godiva truffles, which I'm still working on and Godiva is just so good. I thought this was the end of my V-day because I made Zach promise not to get me anything (with death as a punishment).. but then as I'm not the phone with my mom and Edible Arrangement of chocolate covered strawberries from Kristen shows up. Totally made my day, I couldn't believe it.

After I left work I came up to see the girls, as always, and that actually ended up breaking my heart. Keira got flowers from a boy at school (shes in 1st grade..) and Kyla was legitimately heartbroken that she didn't get a gift. Sure, she got the cards and candy the whole class gets, but she knew there was a difference and didn't know why no boys wanted to give her flowers. Usually when kids their age cry, its not really heartfelt, but this was. She was crushed. It killed me. I wanted Zach to bring both of them flowers, but he was on the motorcycle. Don't even want to know how it'll be in middle and high school...

  1. That last paragraph broke my heart. Sort of. Half disturbing/half Kyla should always be happy
