There are a lot of things that I could say about my beautiful Valentine today.
I could talk about how sweet she is. About what a wonderful mom she is. About how politically correct she is (sorry, inside joke!). Or maybe about all the ways she has made me a better person.
But instead, today I'm thinking about the cute little kid in Kelly. Most of the time, she likes to make you think that she's mature, proper and put-together. But there are a few moments when she'll surprise you with a little loving mischief.
Case in point: A construction crew was pouring fresh concrete in our neighborhood a couple of years ago. The little girl in Kelly couldn't resist. She made me stop the car so that she could go write in it.
So what you think she would write in the concrete? Her initials, "KES"? Or perhaps, "Kelly wuz here"? Or how about, "Kelly loves Wade"?
Nope!
I certainly wouldn't disagree! How could I?

Hey Russ,
Yeah, Valentine's seems to be another Hallmark holiday exclusive to America.
Here's the wikipedia explanation:
"The legend of St. Valentine is not absolutely clear, which is also why we refer to this history as "legend."
One legend portrays him as a priest who refused the Roman Emperor Claudius II's law, ordering that young men remained single. It is argued that Claudius II did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers.
The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young Catholic men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Fr. Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. Claudius had meetings with Fr. Valentine and grew fond of him and even attempted to get Fr. Valentine to convert to the Roman paganism which he practiced. Instead, Fr. Valentine refused and attempted to convert Claudius to the Catholic faith. This enraged Claudius, and he sentenced Valentine to death.
While imprisoned, one of the jailors had a blind daughter, whom he brought to the jail often, and she spoke at length to Fr. Valentine. Just before he was put to death, he sent her a small card and signed it, "From your Valentine."
