It's Hard
It's hard to sit back and read all these blogs about all these great material things people are getting from their loved ones for Valentines Day. ( I now know why Val celebrates on another day in the year) It's hard, really hard not to be jealous. It's not like Russ has ever been a big present kind of guy as much as he is affectionate. I know this but for some reason this year when everyone is supposed to be having it rough I am seeing it differently. I say I am not materialistic but to get something above and beyond for once would be awesome. Maybe my day will come. I do treat myself with walmart clothes and nail polish and Starbucks throughout the entire year, maybe that's why! I know in my heart I paid it forward though and tomorrow two people will have huge smiles on their faces and warm hearts. Happy Pre-V Day

tracy, i've been in a relationship where i got all that "above and beyond" bulls*** that costs money. and please please believe me when i tell you how overrated it is. i would have given ANYTHING (at the time) for aaron to grab my hand and sing to me when our favorite country song came on.
ReplyDeletenow i have what i believe is the best of both worlds-a sweet husband (usually ;-) and money to buy "stuff." and believe me again when i tell you it's not the material things that make my heart flutter... it's the stuff that doesn't cost a thing, but takes heart to give. do not be jealous of your friends getting "fancy" gifts... you don't know what holes that may be in their hearts that they are trying to fill with with that "stuff."
I totally agree with Val(even though I don't know her). I use to be jealous too. I'm tired of watching people flaunt their material items all the time. If that makes them sleep better at night, then good for them. I have a wonderful family that I can look at every night and my heart be filled! Yes, it's nice to get something, but it's not how much it cost but the thought behind it. I'm perfectly happy with a card from AJ, and I don't expect anything more. You know what we are doing tomorrow? Moving stuff out of our new house so we can then paint! We got stuff for the girls and I did buy AJ something. I would rather give than receive. But that is all we are doing tomorrow. Kiss Russ and Bubba and you'll remember how much the little things are so much better than anything money can buy. (Read my blog)
ReplyDeleteI love you sis and you know...no matter what...I love you and will always try my best to show you that all throughout the year. I understand what you are saying...Ian and I usually just get one thing that we will both benefit from. That is why I am getting my camera...you know that. Those pics are his memories too. Russ takes good care of you in other ways just as you said in your blog. At least you will smell good on Valentines with that yummy body wash. :) Love you!
ReplyDeleteLIke I said before sis.... overrated, commercialized, breaks hearts is all it is aobut. Russ shows you other ways all year with things he does. You have said it yourself. You are loved Twu and you know you are, Honestly you don't need Russ to give you a gift to tell you how much, and you know that deep down. Wanting what others may have or get is a root of evil, Don't let it posses you. Let that "I lay down next to him and he says I love you" make your V-day special.
