Today, or February 14th, I was expecting just another day. I love Valentine's Day, but being without much money, every holiday in these times is a bit...gloomy? When Steve arrived home on his lunch break, he was smiling so big. He was carrying this beautiful rose bush in his hands:
An Our Lady of Guadalupe! Especially made for Florida growing conditions!
If that weren't enough to make me all gooey inside, he went out to his truck for another bush, my FAVORITE ROSE, the Hot Cocoa:
He had no idea how much I love these two rose varieties...In bygone days, I'd even blogged about them before.
But wait. There's more. He cooked me dinner. Bought me a yummy sparkling wine.
When I said to him, "Damn, I wish I had something for you!" because I was so lame and did nothing at all, he said, "This day is for you."

This post created the "aaawwwww" heard round the world.
Tears in my eyes - and it's not just because I have PMS. We may not hear about Steve too much, but when we do it is pretty clear he's fucking awesome. I'm glad you had a happy Valentine's day!
