“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you” ~Anonymous Child
This makes me giggle, but this “Anonymous Child” is onto something! I felt exactly this way last weekend when Mark came to visit. We were only able to spend a few days together but every time we become stronger and closer and I miss him so much more every time we part. Sorry to be so sappy, but this is how I feel. And…on to our perfect weekend and our sweet Valentine’s Day!
Mark flew into Kansas City which I know well as I lived there for a while and Mark is beginning to love it with his couple visits there with me. My mom and her Manfriend, Mike met us for trivia night at the Westport Flea Market, home of the BEST burgers in Kansas City (and they are amazing)! It was a fun night filled with Sam Adams (which the Flea Market is the first time Mark’s seen Sam Seasonal outside of the Boston area-awesome!), lots of hard questions to which we rarely had the right answers, and many laughs all around!
Mark knows me well and gave me two wonderful surprises for Valentine’s Day! The first was a special Valentine’s edition plush Mickey (so cute!) and little Mickey was holding the familiar blue bag with the unmistakable “Disney Couture” logo! I knew whatever was inside I would love! It was a gorgeous gold necklace with the Beauty and Beast rose pendent. I love it! For him I created a shadowbox picture of us with the lyrics to “our song” aka “Two Is Better Than One.”
Maybe it’s true
That I can’t live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there’s so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking two is better than one
Those words state precisely where our lives are going and that two truly is better than one.
