Valentine's Day Guilt

After almost 5 years of doing whatever you would call it, Brett and I spent our first Valentine's Day together. We had said we weren't going to get each other presents since we just purchased the condo. I should have known better.

Monday night Brett comes home and tells me he bought me a present even though we said we wouldn't. Sweet but upsetting. Why is this upsetting? 'Cause I actually listened to him and had just bought two cards that I was going to give him. So who looks like the shmuck? You guessed right!!

I got a beautiful Waterford picture frame. This is a big thing to me. First of all it is my first piece of Waterford and secondly it means I get a picture on the mantel. This is a big deal because the first time I visited Brett in Texas I asked if I got to be on the mantel. He said not yet. When we moved to Virginia I asked if I got to be on the mantel and he finally said yes. That was 8 months ago. The problem now is that I have a frame but I don't have a picture of the 2 of us nice enough to go in it. I could wait until the wedding but I don't want to.

I get to go right next to the picture of President Bush. What a lucky girl I am!!!
