Hospital Valentines...Best one Ever

The love day! Valentines Day. Its that time once a year that is dreaded by many or such an exciting day for others. I happen to love Valentines Day. Always have. Regardless if I had a boyfriend or not. Just always kind of liked the idea of having a day that others put forth that effort to show their love.

Now for me I don't think you need a day like that. I think if you love someone whether its your spouse, kids, family, friends....you show them in a daily way. Its nice to have a day though that you can really get together with the rest of the USA and have a love day though.

So as many of you know I am still in the hospital from Bronchitis and Asthma. Those two just do not mix lol. Been here now for 6 days and really am ready to go home. No girl wants to be in the hospital an hour away from their family anyways but especially not on a holiday. Hospitals don't spell out romance to me....does it to you? ha!

The day was full anyways with my son having a couple games which thankfully where close to the hospital. I didn't get to go of course but my friends were there and helping cheer on with the rest of our family. Taking pictures and sending me videos so I felt like I was there. I got a lot of visitors too which was great to see their smiling faces.

Best part was I got to see all  four of my kids at once. I really miss them and its hard when they are all so active in sports and activities to get them here all at once. I really do love my teens and have been struggling with the fact that I am not at home with them. Ryan has had to really do so much to keep work and all the stuff I do going for the family. He is amazing but he has the help of my Mother In Law who really has helped to keep things going and help to keep him insane while they are doing it all too. Our lives are crazy busy. Its not an easy task and I appreciate so much what they are doing to keep things in line and keep it going! I love them.

The kids had a good Valentines also. They gave stuff to their friends and/0r Girlfriend/Boyfriends. Its cute to see young love. I am always amazed at all the stuff they try and get each other. I know they learned that from Ryan though because he is a romantic at heart.

He is that type of guy that shows me love everyday. Usually in small ways that win my heart everyday. I try to do the same. We are always trying to water each others gardens, take out the weeds and fertilize our love. I think you have too. Its about the little things in life. You can have a great spouse but if the only day they are doing something romantic is the one day of the year Valentines day....I think I would pass. I would rather fun sweet little moments everyday than one big one once a year.

I am blessed though because I got both. So lets go back .....I am in the hospital. Not really breathing the best, not wanting to even be here and kind of bummed because its a holiday. Ryan brought all the kids to see me but they were all really tired after their days. So I sent them all home. Ryan said he would come back later and bring me dinner at least. He already gave me this huge card that was like the size of my pillow lol and chocolates. We had agreed to celebrate later even though  made him a card and a couple of "romantic" coupons for him to use later like going to the movies and sushi or a back massage. Hey its hard to get resources when you cant leave lol.

Ok, fast forward. I get text saying he is on his way. I get excited just to see his face and to know I will be eating dinner with them. What happened next though blew my mind. He walked in hands full. Put Sparkling Cider and two wine glasses on my hospital tray. He was dressed up and gave me a bad with some comfy but not pj clothes in it to change into. Pulled out a picnic blanket tablecloth and brought Christmas lights. He brought the whole romantic dinner to me. I was blown away. He said to get dressed and he would be back. When he came back he was carrying food from the Niles Hotel that is close by and started setting everything up. Man he looked handsome. I was so taken a back by this gesture. I put on "Sweet Jane" this song we like on my IPhone and he shut off the lights and we sat there by dim light eating filet mignon, amazing green beans, salad, crusted bread, baked potato. It was all so delicious. So romantic. Yep ladies and gentleman I cried. Then I had a breathing issue moment where I was like great....I am ruining all of this. He just rubbed my back and helped me and told me how much he loves me. I just looked at him with tears in my eyes and said he knows how he "takes my breathe away". I love this man. Its hard to surprise me because I am like a secret detective by heart. This definitely surprised me. You should of seen how many nurses snuck in to see the set up lol. It was really cute. I love to brag about my husband because he is the genuine thing. He loves me and I love him. It might of taken me to 30 years old to find him but it was so worth it! Do we have our normal ups and downs. Yes of course....we aren't romantic robots but 99 percent of the time its grand. When he was packing up to get back to the kids I was thinking I didn't want him to leave of course. I wasn't unhappy though because I knew that I would be thinking of this all night long. He did good! He did great! He made me feel like there was no hospital. That there was just the two of us being catered. I am one lucky lady! I am glad I have a strong future ahead of me of showing him everyday how much I love him! Cant wait till he sees the present I had shipped to the house for him. He is going to love it.

So yes....being in the hospital was my best Valentines day. No wonder all my kids are such romantics at heart. They have a great role model to look up too.....
