Had a busy V-day. Did the dinner thing earlier in the week to avoid the crowd. Woke up, spend a quality morning with the Fiancee including putting the finishing touches on her "not a Valentine's Day Mix CD" (a tradition going back 3 years when she told me we weren't dating, even though we were constantly flying back and forth from Little Rock to St. Louis every weekend), then went to the jewelry store to design her wedding ring (Claddagh in white/yellow gold, using a diamond her dad gave her when she was 17 in the center surrounded by green garnet (rather than emeralds because she is rather rammy, as her broken pinky toe can attest to.), then went shopping at Costco (Romantic, I know) before returning home to a dinner of Teryaki London Broil and Rice, prepared by me. Watched the rest of the Hunt for Red October, and she gave me her present, a book about love with pictures of animals (not sure of the title, its the same guy that wrote the blue day book.) Did I mention that I'm getting married to the most laid back bride in the history of the world?
