What I learned on V-Day

Cory and I went on a trip to St George this weekend, sans kids. It's the first time we've gone somewhere by ourselves since Lear was born - so over five years. Cory had to talk me into it, because I was paranoid about being that far away from them, but we had a great time. We spent most of the weekend going through fancy houses on the St George Parade of Homes, but Saturday night, we went to a movie: He's Just Not That Into You. 

We thought it would be a fun romantic comedy, but I have to say, about halfway through, I wanted to leave. All the relationships in the movie were falling apart, and the one married couple in the film was in trouble, because of the man having an affair. I was thinking, "Why are we seeing a movie about how much love and relationships suck on our special Valentine's Day trip?" Luckily, things were brighter by the end of the movie - but it taught Cory and me something: we are very lucky. We have a great relationship, a wonderful marriage, and a happy life together. We've never played stupid mind games with each other, we have the same goals and priorities, and we got married for all the right reasons. I don't want to get too sappy here, but I just have this to say: I deeply love my husband, I'm eternally grateful he seems to think I'm cool too, and we are very lucky to have found each other.  We really have it good. 

Lear quote: "I am going to miss you, Mommy, because I love you so much."

Ella quote: "OK, I gonna lose interest very soon."
