Valentine's Day + Birthday = ♥

13 years ago, Garon and I went on a Valentine's date.  G picked me up, we drove into Fort Smith, and we experienced the worst traffic and restaurant lines known to traffic and restaurant-line history.  That Valentine's Day happened to land on a Saturday, and EVERYONE in the entire Fort Smith metro within a 60-mile radius sat together on Rogers Avenue waiting to wait in line. 

And on that night, Garon was going to propose.  As the night progressed and the traffic got worse and we'd abandoned two restaurants and tension was high, we began to fight....Needless to say, the night did not end in a proposal.  So now, to this day, we don't really give Saint Valentine very much attention.  Every other year or so, one of us gets inspired and does something friendly, but overall, it's a dead holiday for us. 

BUT, 2 years ago, Valentine's Day was somewhat redeemed as it became the due date for our second child. Though he didn't wait for THE day, Adrion definitely nullified that botched proposal meaning-of-the-day to replace it with the celebration of his new life. I love that he is our "love bug", and oh my goodness are we in love with him. (As is his big sister when he's not doing his little brother job of annoying her...) So here he is....our great big 2-year-old! Happy Birthday, my beautiful baby boy!
