As you can imagine, this morning was very difficult for me. I was the only married person that I knew waking up on Valentine's Day without her husband. To add to my pain and sadness was the fact that Chris also wasn't here for our Six Month "monthiversary" or the year marker since he proposed to me. I would be lying if I said that I didn't cry like a baby. That I didn't want to just skip school today and stay home and eat all the ice cream and junk food that I could find. But deep down I knew that it wouldn't do me any good and that I had responsibilities. Chris didn't leave me here in Rexburg by myself to fail my classes and not finish my coursework so I could be back with him. So, I wiped away my tears and I got ready to face what I expected to be a very hard day. And I was right it did have it's hard moments. Like walking past all these happy couples and seeing the happy stand to buy roses and things for the love of your life. But you know what it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. My Social Work friends are AMAZING. And Michelle, bless her heart realized that I was alone and she just gave me the sympathy I needed and joked about how we would all skip class and go celebrate my Valentine's Day. Obviously, we didn't skip class but just knowing that people care about me and try to cheer me up meant way more than any celebration we could have had.
And then I came home to this:
I am pretty much a sappy emotional girl to begin with but add in a major holiday, a husband being hundreds of miles away and probably a slight bit of depression; and this pretty much put me on the verge of tears. As you can tell there is no indication of who it is from but I loved it. It really made me feel so much better. Somebody thought of me and took the time to come and leave a little love for me on my door. And I'm sure they had no idea how much it would mean to me.
