February Giveaway

[karlk2134]

The measure of a day in my household is determined largely by the relative happiness of my wife. To even begin to approach the 'perfect day', I must first ensure that her day goes well. I have learned, over the past few years, that if I want her to not have a good day, I must simply spend a significant amount of time working/playing on my pc or ax. This year I am committed to devoting Valentine's Day to her and will not even turn on either of said devices, thereby declaring to her my undying love and devotion! I am sure she will just melt with this sincere act of loyalty to her! Such sacrifices are necessary in keeping the fires of love burning strong as we approach year five in our marriage. Something tells me that if I want to make it to year six, I may want to consider some flowers and dinner for two...but lets not get carried away...

My Valentine's Day will actually start on Friday. On that Friday, I am going to go to the jewelry store, having just been paid that morning, and make the last payment on her engagement ring. She does not know about this, and it has been hard to keep it a secret for this long. As for Valentine's Day, I'm going to pull that ring out of my pocket when she least expects it, and crouch down on one knee. I already know what her answer will be, we have talked about this many, many times over. But, I know I will still suprise her. I can't wait too see the smile on her face, then the tears of joy that follow. I plan to make this a Valentine's Day that we will never forget. :inlove: :wub:

We will be together from 8am-midnight. We will go to ski. By lunch time, the flowers will be delivered to the resort. Then, I plan to give her the ring I bought in my last business trip to Europe. She doesn't know about it, of course. Have more fun on the slopes. We will have a candle dinner in a restaurant which has a good view of the city.

(First post here since I have just joined and hope to find help about using my Axim.)

I always feel I get slighted on Valentine's Day as my birthday is Feb.11. (Of course I went and got married the first week in May so I lose Mother's Day as well!)

What I would really like is to have my love clean up his mess outside - sell a few cars and trucks! I just love it when the town complains about my yard ( do I agree with them - yeah you get him to clean it up!) I'd like the rest of the curtains hung up, I've done the ones I can... You get the message. I don't want flowers or cards or candy or balloons. I do want sex but I can get that anytime. My husband ( and my girls ) need to help run the family, that's what I would love for V Day and my birthday.

But we're going to NYC and the children will be staying with Grandma while we will be in a hotel! A night out in the city without the children. That's fun too!

What I will do to make Valentine special for my love

In Topeka, KS, we have this local food drive in February. My company participates and lets the employees do unique things to raise money and/or canned food. For example, my department opened a pop stand and will donate the profits from selling pop to the food drive.

One of the corporate projects is making these baskets of stuffed animals and goodies and selling them for $5 more than the cost of the materials. I talked one of the leaders into making me a basket and delivering it to my wife at her employer.

My wife will appreciate the basket. But more importantly, she will love the attention that getting a gift at work has. As importantly, I feel good because I'm making an extra donation to the food drive.

Ironically, my wife may never know that hers was the only basket that was delivered that day.

:inlove:

Valentines day Poem.......


You breathe life into my soul
every nite and every morn.

Your touch awakens the very heart of me

When you aren't near I anticipate your sweet smile
loving embrace and gentle kiss that makes me melt
to the very core.

Making me realize life is nothing without you.

My heart and soul are intertwined with yours.
As we are one.

I can't see forever without you.

I love you with a fire and a passion
that has never been known before.

This Valentines day, my love, my world
I give to you a reliving of our first kiss,
our first hello.

Falling in love all over again.

Happy Valentine's Day my Dear

May everything that we have shared thru the years
everything you hoped it would be....

I ran across a story(actually email) today that made me decide what I am going to do for my sweetheart for Valentines. :inlove:

It's a bit of a long story and I will quote it here, but here is what I plan on doing. I was going to take my boyfriend out to a nice place for dinner. Really nothing too special because it is usually customary for the "man" to do something special for the "woman". So what I'm going to do instead because I was inspired by the story I ran across, is to treat my boyfriend and his mother out for lunch or dinner of their choice, just the 2 of them. His mom is handicapped and is getting worst, her disease is getting worst, it's some type of muscular dystrophy. In any case, here's the story that inspired me....Kim aka Sweetkoko
-----------------
"After 21 years of marriage, I discovered a new way of keeping alive the
spark of love.

A little while ago I had started to go out with another woman. It was
really my wife's idea. "I know that you love her," she said one day, taking
me by surprise. "But I love YOU," I protested. "I know, but you also love
her."

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been
a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had
made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to
invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who
suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad
news.

"I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you, "I
responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, then
said, "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous.
When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous
about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her
hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last
wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an
angel's.

"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were
impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear
about our meeting".

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.
My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I
had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way
through the entrées, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom
sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.

"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary
but catching up on recent events of each others life.

We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house
later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite
you". I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much
more so than I could have imagined," I answered. A few days later my mother
died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have
a chance to do anything for her.

Some time later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt
from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid
this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there but,
never-the-less, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your
wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you."

At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time: "I LOVE YOU"
and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.. Nothing in life is
more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve,
because these things cannot be put off till "some other time"."
