Have you ever started something that you later think was a little ambitious and that, in all reality, you should've down-scaled the dream a bit before embarking on its achievement? Yeah, me too. I thought that, instead of one Day of Love this month, I'd try to make it a little more meaningful and do the 14 Days of Valentines for my sweetheart. (I'm fairly anti-Valentines Day for many reasons that won't be discussed here...but it all began with BYU's Valentines Day edition of the Daily Universe...but Valentines MONTH, now, that has potential.)
How I love Paul.
But how I kind of wish I had stuck with the one-day end-all celebratory experience that seems to work just fine for the rest of the world. 14 days is a lot! And I have 9 more to go. I'm actually having fun hiding the little notes and treats and stuff in places that he doesn't suspect and at different times of the day. Sadly, though, my creativity is already waning; last night (the 4th day of Valentines, mind you...we're not even into double digits here, folks), I handed him a note declaring that day's "treat" to be a post-FHE trip to Charlie's with the kids for four milkshakes. Because I hadn't really thought ahead. Oh, and he paid for them. Sheesh.
What a good sport I married. Love him.

Wow you are ambitious! I think you should post your daily activities to motivate the rest of us. :) One year I decided to cut 100 hearts and put them all around the house with each one stating a reason I love my hubby. After cutting 20 of them my lofty goal crumbled and I settled on 25. Oh well.
All I can say is... Paul is one lucky man! I am inspired to do something fabulous this year now. Way to go!
Yikers Britt. How about a coupon book, something under his pillow. A favorite drink of his in the fridge with a note. Ok thats ALL I have. Good luck.
What a fun idea! I like it. Val had some good ideas too--you could heart attack the mirror, surprise him at work one day with his favorite lunch, write him a poem ( I KNOW you are more than capable of that), make a cheesy mix tape of lovey songs that you can make out to (heh heh, or more), a massage, back scratch, or pediure ;) ha. kidding on that last one.
I say get some bright red lipstick on & put it on the kids too. Meet him at the door when he gets home from work & slather him up with bright red kisses.
oooo I have a modified idea. Before he wakes up on Valentines day, put on the lipstick, kiss is mouth or forehead or both without him knowing. When he looks in the mirror won't he be surprised!
