My first Valentine's Day with my husband was in the middle of a blizzard. He had made us dinner reservations at The Gateway Lodge, a fabulous retreat in the middle of Cook's Forest. It's a rustic setting, but I had never been anywhere so fancy before.
Don drove an O-L-D toyots celica, and it was a lot like sitting on the ground. Navigating the snow and ice was pretty tricky. Of course, I wasn't dressed appropriately for the weather, in a dress and very high heels. Fortunately, hiking through the snow wasn't necessary.
We were seated by the fire, with chocolates and flowers already at the table. I don't remember what I ate, but I do remember how handsome my (now) hubby looked in the glow of candle- and firelight. I felt incredibly special that night.
I should have known the adventure that night was only a foretaste of many adventures to come. Life with Don is anything but dull! But I'd hate to think what I would have missed out on had I not met him. I love him more every day, and I know he feels the same. I am so blessed to be his number 2.
