Today we have Benchmark testing at school so the relaxed look is in. I am wearing my glitzy Bobcat T-shirts with my black Coach boots - (my very very favorite boots) and a faded denim Ralph Lauren skirt. I even have my little paw print earrings on today!
The T-shirt was made by order since our mascot is the Bobcat - I bought the skirt on e-bay a couple of years and my earrings came from a fundraiser.
Go Bobcats!
My husband and I have been together 13 Valentines now. I will never forget our very first Valentines Day. It was amazing! He went BIG in every way. A BIG card - A BIG teddy bear. A BIG box of candy. A beautiful diamond necklace. A wonderful night out on the town. Everything about our first V-Day together was so much fun!
Not a whole lot has changed over the years - he knows that I love Valentines Day. He always makes it special for me. Over the years I have gotten many bottles of perfume - all my favorites - Passion, Obsession, Eternity, Beautiful. He knows what I love and he always makes it a point to see which perfume is needed the most during Christmas or my birthday and Valentines Day. This year at Christmas he bought me a bottle of every one of my favorite perfumes - so I wasn't surprised that this Valentines Day - perfume was not on the list (whew!)
I have gotten stuffed animals over the years - cute white dogs holding hearts, teddy bears, one year he even bought me several Webkinz when I was really into those.
Jewelry - diamond earrings, necklace - (still waiting on that great big HUGE diamond, tho! :-)
The most unusually sweet Valentines Day? Every thing came from a Christian bookstore - he bought me a purple bible, a pretty bookmark, a card and a magnet and then I still got my romantic bottle of perfume, Eternity, how appropriate.
He knows me well - this year for Valentines Day - a STARBUCKS card, a big box of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and a cute card that sings "My Girl". I love Starbucks! We plan to go to the movies to see The Vow.
I never know what he is going to come up with each year - I know it will always be something I am going to love. I love my Valentine - he is the sweetest man I have ever known. I am a lucky girl.
♥Happy Valentines Day♥
Never Let Go

This song has a sweet meaning for me - really it is a sweet memory - every time I hear this song I can picture my 2 oldest granddaughters singing. Several years ago on one of their summer visits here to Texas - the song came on the radio in the car and they both got so excited that "their" song was on Grammie's radio. They both started singing as loud as they could and it was just the cutest thing. For the two weeks they were here - it seemed it came on the radio every time we got in the car and so we all 3 sang together each time. At that time they were 4 and 6 years old. Today they are 10 and 12 years. It will always be "our song".
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back
I know you are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
(Chorus:)
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
(Chorus)
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
(Chorus 2x's)
