Happy Cheesefest...

To Celebrate the National Cheesefest (aka Valentine's Day as it is known outside my home)  my husband gave me a lovely gift Brie and Crackers.  Yes ladies I DID want the cheese(and did request no chocolate this year).  Giving cheese to each other is a tradition.  You see my wonderful husband and I met online and started chatting on February 14th...aka the day of LUV.   We both agreed that it was a silly holiday and deemed it the cheesefest.   We almost always give each other gifts that include cheese every Valentines day.   So silly it may be but to us it has become a tradition that will live on forever.  I have to run out to the store before he gets home and get him some Gouda. MMMM...cheese.

On another note I made him a rather large un-valentine this year.   I took one of our favorite books the Princess Bride and made it into a large valentine. 

You see I had found a little saying online that I loved.  It read:  "There are many great love stories...but ours is my favorite".  I took this saying and altered our favorite book.
The heart is cut out through the layers of the book with an exacto knife.  How I managed not to sever and artery is still a mystery to me.


The pictures are from our wedding day.  It's a crude valentine but I have left it with the book he is reading so that he will find it when he gets into bed tonight.  Hope he likes it. I can't tell you what a wonderful man I married and how lucky I am to have him in my life.  

I had the unfortunate luck to be really sick today.  Had to stay home from work and spent the morning trying to snooze away my fever and body aches.   I hope everyone else has a wonderful day and gets to celebrate with someone special.
