My Valentine’s Day Story

Fifteen years ago, on February 14th I went on a date with a guy I barely knew.

I was still in high-school and I worked with him at a local store in our community.

We flirted with one another and talked occasionally on our breaks. He always gave me butterflies.

Finally he asked me out….and I said No. I was only eighteen and he was a few years older than me….I was nervous and felt like I barely knew him.

But he was persistent and continued to ask me out….I finally said yes.

It was Valentine’s Day and he wanted to take me to dinner.

I told him that I had ” to study” but we could go to a movie.

It was a lie. I didn’t have to study. The truth – I was a bit nervous to eat in front of him. I envisioned a big chunk of spinach stuck between my teeth or my breath reeking of garlic. This freaked me out!

So my thought was if we went to a movie and I didn’t like him, we didn’t need to talk {remember this is a naive 18 yr old girl speaking}.

He picked me up with a dozen roses in his arms and introduced himself to my family. We stayed for a bit so that my parents could meet him. I remember thinking how polite and comfortable he seemed around my family.

After the movie, we sat in his car for awhile just talking and listening to music.

I realized, I like this guy and I remember thinking “Why didn’t I go out with him sooner?”

We went on a several dates after that and eight years later we got married.

Meeting my husband and taking the chance with him, was the best thing that I ever did. He changed my life for the better.

I am more in love with him today than I have ever been. He has truly been a blessing to me and I couldn’t imagine having a better Valentine’s!
