Valentines Day!

Oops!! went 3 days without posting. bad me...

So good ol' Valentine's day:)  I was actually baptized on Valentines Day when I was 13.  I wouldn't say it was my true baptism, it was more an action, but all in all it was a special occasion.  I wore a robe and had to practice how I was going to dunk.  My pastor Jerry Root, baptized me.  He was/ is an amazing pastor, that later, became a mentor for me in College..strange how life works in that tangled way. 

Speaking of tangled ways, I suppose I"ll talk about last nights events.  Let me preface this by saying, I am NOT  a Valentine's hater.  I Love Valentines day.  I've never had an absolute rotten one, and there really is no need for pouting or feeling sorry for ones self.  Its a day to reflect on Loving others, and being loved. Ah! I love it.  It also helps I'm super into the shape of hearts;) just ...love em:)

I digress:) hahha! but seriously... I got a text from a dear man friend asking if I had plans Tuesday.  I didn't even recognize what Tuesday was, so I replied "working till 7, than nothing.  What we doing?!" He replied back "dinner on me? and you can bring a date if you like:) " this is when it dawned on me it was Valentine's.  I couldn't believe it!  The place we were going, Holland House, uber delicious!! I let him know I was open to any male suggestions...oh the risk

In my mind I hoped that he would invite someone who I would be at least interested to converse with, but when I got to the dinner with my pink suede heels, I found a beautiful cast of couples, that I absolutely adore, as well as a good gal and male pal, but no suggestions.  As overjoyed as I was to see my beautiful friends, I couldn't help but be a little bummed that there was no other person there.  But my friend who was paying for all of us, is also a musician.  With being a musician, comes musician friends, and I will NOT date a musician, so cest la vie, we carried on.

I woke up this morning still reminiscing the evening and recognizing how I had met all the people at the table.  My Man friend, I had met at the young age of 18 at a Christian Concert.  His band was pretty big amongst the Christian Community, and my friend was dating him.  I never thought I'd see him again, but after all these years, we kept running into each other.  With him moving to Nashville, he met his girlfriend who's best friend I met separately through a PR company, of whom I met because I decided to meet with a couple I had met in an icecream shop I used to work at.  The other couple, I had met the male figure first at a bar.  We rendezvoused at my Man Musician Friends house, and I really lost interest, but we did share a small pecked kiss...but that was it.  His current girlfriend is a doll and love them together. 

I still can't stop thinking about the food without salivating! So Yummy! The company was perfect, and to top it all off, it was my Man friends, girlfrends bday.  I couldn't have asked for a more.  And there we all sat.  Enjoying an evening with laughter, stories, and food.  I just wonder what the next year will bring and how much more love I will gain.  Keep me tangled in this wild web of love!!
