How appropriate that it was on a Saturday?  This is another stop in the long road that Dana and I are on.  We had our first Valentine's together (and the first Valentine's that I actually had somebody to share it with...).  She came into town that morning after working the previous night and she was tired, as I thought she would be, but when she came into the house... this is what she found:

<p style="text-align: left;">So after the initial "wow" she opened her gift which included earrings and a movie by her favorite author, Nicolas Sparks, called Nights in Roadathe.... She gave me my gifts which included a 'romance' game, lots of candy, some Peanuts boxer shorts (that's HOT as Paris Hilton might say), and a coupon book...</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, she need to rest up for our big date that night at Stoney River in Roswell... and here we after getting back...</p>

Well, we had a fabulous time and it was everything I could have hoped for and more.  There is nobody I know that would have wanted to be on that Valentine's date than Dana...
