Since John’s 4 month trip to Iraq is between January and May, we get to miss out on 3 special occasions together. The occasions being Valentine’s day ( which he really doesn’t care for much anyway), our 1 year mark, and my 21st birthday. We had decided before he left that we would celebrate these events when he came back. I didn’t mind this idea at all because well either way I get spoiled

I guess my guy didn’t feel right about me not having him here to celebrate with me. So, he gave me the amazing gift of human touch. I got a spa trip, good for one pedicure and one massage. I am so excited. He really hit the nail on the head with this one. I get 2 hours of massagy goodness on my worn out body. I also get to just relax and spend some much needed “me” time.

This is the best present he could get me. Ok second best, the first being him home. I think that this pretty good substitute though.  He did very well. Thank you honey! I dunno, I might have to keep this one around for a while.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
