WORST:
The worst valentines day I've had happen the year that Joel and I were dating. It was our first valentines together, and I happened to have my molars pulled out that day. So, I was home in pain recovering, then Joel showed up after he got off work with yellow roses and chocolates rolled in nuts. Which if you know me, you know that I HATE NUTS (which Joel also knew) and if you know roses...you know that yellow roses mean friendship (which Joel didn't know). So as I was setting there with swollen cheeks, hives, and in extreme pain, (later we found out that the surgeon had sewn my cheek to my gums...causing the pain, hives, swelling and MAJOR infection) I thought for sure Joel was going to give me the "can we go back to just being friends" speech.
I started to cry and he just sat there in shock not knowing what to do. My Mom came into my room wondering what was going on. I said, in tears, look what Joel gave me for valentines day...showing her the candy covered in nuts and the yellow roses. She started to laugh and explained to Joel, remember Heidi hates nuts and NO girl wants yellow roses on valentines day, unless it's a friend. So, then they were both laughing. Joel then told us that HIS MOM picked it all out because he was running late and he didn't really think about it, trying to get over to see me.
Still to this day when Joel buys me roses... I get half red and half yellow, isn't he adorable :)
BEST:
The best valentines day I've had was in February of 2003. Joel spent weeks designing a software program for me, it was an amazing scavenger hunt. When I woke up in the morning I found this note on his pillow....
Going from our bed to the couch downstairs was a trail made of white and red paper hearts. On the couch I found the CD with more paper hearts and red roses made out of paper hearts...
Each direction took me to the next heart with code on it, which I would enter into the program, and then it would tell me where to find the next heart.
At the end, behind the couch cushion was a green velvet box. Inside the box was a gold bracelet made out of hearts...
YOUR THE BEST, I LOVE YOU JOEL!
