The Perfect Valentine

Every year, about February 13th, our Pastor says - "We should have a Valentine Banquet." Well, this year I remembered that in January. And my husband gave me the perfect Valentine.

When I first mentioned it to Hubby - "Should I talk to Pastor about a Banquet?" He didn't seem very enthused, so I dropped it. A few days later, he said, "Did you talk to him?" He then spent a few minutes encouraging me to do it, and listening to my ideas.

So, last night, we had a Sweetheart Banquet - complete with a small gift for each couple and a nice photo op corner with red, pink and white balloons. Besides planning the event, I made my dress out of some material I'd been saving. And the church presented me with a dozen roses as a thank-you for the evening. All because my husband encourages me to use my talents. I am floating this morning.

Plus, and this part is amazing, he got me a corsage. I never mentioned a corsage to him, but when I thought about the possibility that he'd get me one, I thought that I'd like a wrist corsage. Unlikely since he's never gotten me one for my wrist.
Lo and behold, as we're leaving for the banquet, he hands me a corsage and says, "I hope you don't mind that it's a wrist corsage." Wow! The start of a perfect night.
