Some Highlights of Valentines Past:
In
1987 I had just more than a month to scoot on into this lovely world.
In
1999 I won the Valentine's Box contest. It was a red styrofoam dragon that I stole from my mom.
In
2003 Melinda Schultz stole a kiss from me, then pulled away, licked her lips, and said "mmmm.... tasty." I almost barfed right on my parents' doorstep. Worst Valentine's Day ever.
2004, I really kissed a girl, nice and good, for my first time. It was my best Valentine's Day of my high school career.
In
2006 all I could think about was my upcoming and mission to Iowa...
... and
2007 and
2008 were devoid of any Valentines love (because of the mission);
2009 was just awkward,
and
2010 was superb. Sublime. Stupendous. Salubrious, even, thanks to Biaggi's. It had everything needed for a Valentine weekend.
beautiful dancing
(thank you Swan Lake)
sumptuous dining
(thank you triggerfish for sacrificing your life. you were delicious.)
spontaneous surprises
(just short of a billion balloons crammed into my bedroom)
This year has reset the standard. Happy Valentine's Day!
