Have you seen south Alabama lately??!!
Last night, Jeremiah and I went to see that new Valentine’s Day movie, and Ashton Kutcher has a one-liner that really captures the spirit of why I love this holiday so much. (I’ve tried to find the exact quote, but I don’t think the movie has been out long enough) It goes something like this:
Jennifer Garner: I just don’t know…. You really think I should fly all the way to San Francisco just to surprise him [her boyfriend] on Valentine’s Day?
Ashton: It’s Valentine’s Day! You don’t think you just DO!
And that’s it. It’s the one day that it’s totally socially acceptable to stand in the parking lot of your husband’s workplace (even in the drenching rain) bearing a sign that tells just how much you love him. Or to wear various shades of pink and purple and red from head to toe, because it looks like love, and that makes you smile. Or to spend a whole bunch of money on a dinner you can’t afford, because you want to shower down scrumptious love on somebody else.
Or you make a whole lot of bread: 
And honey cinnamon butter:
And wrap it up:
And come up with a little saying that you are ever-so-proud of 🙂 :
And load up your little Valentine’s Day goblins (and your obliging husband, poor guy) to help you deliver:
And drop them on the doorsteps (or in the hands, in this case) of some of the people who have brought love and happiness to your life over the past year:
Because it’s Valentine’s Day! and you don’t think you just DO…and that makes me ever-so-happy.
Just wanted to let y’all know that we’re still here…just busy doing this:
And That:
And a little of This:
And a WHOLE lot of THAT (it’s 27 loaves, but who’s counting? :))
And gettin’ ready for THISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, and that:
Be back, when I have a moment to breathe, with some words and explanations. Until then, I hope all of your this’s and thats aren’t running you ragged.
