Date Night

So Army Guy blew me away again with surprises. The night started with greeting me with red roses at the door. Then we went out to a very nice restaurant downtown, and later we went to a local production of "Arabian Nights". The play was awesome, with several of the actors really hamming up their parts and quite a bit of acrobatics. We ended up being right in the front row with the stage literally ending 6 inches in front of our feet. It was great!

I countered with homemade sugar cookies, a card, and some warm mittens that fold back into gloves to keep his trigger fingers warm, but I think he clearly outdid me once again.

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, I gave Army Guy laryngitis... just kidding. He's out "in the field", whatever that means. You would think the Army would let their people sleep indoors when it's below zero outside, but I guess they are literal believers in "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger."

We have plans for a big date later this weekend. I have mixed feelings about Valentine's Day: while it's fun to do something extra special for your significant other, it's also annoying when you're single.
