I’m not into the commercialism of any holiday, but I do love every holiday for the traditions or memories it brings. Today I thought, vividly, of four Valentine’s of the past.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\ude42 Last year I spent the day in Idaho training teachers in the latest computer tutoring program that SFA offers. I specificially packed my favorite pink sweater… the one I didn’t put on today, because I remembered wearing it last year.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\ude42 Two years ago I was in Unalakleet for a facilitator training. There were terrible winter storms, and I ended up getting weathered in here for 2 extra nights while Bill held down the fort in Brevig Mission.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\ude42 Eight years ago Bill showed up at my dorm room with a red carnation. We weren’t dating yet, and in fact I wasn’t sure WHAT<\/em> we were. The carnation came from “Wally’s” – the campus cafeteria. They were giving them out for free. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n \ud83d\ude42 Nine years ago a group of my high school friends got dressed up and went out for a fancy dinner. None of us were dating anyone at the time, and it was perfectly wonderful. We ended up at my dad’s place and made fortune cookies that night.<\/p>\n This Valentine’s Day has been nice in its own right. I spent the afternoon working on my Culturally Responsive Schools assignments and made some orange chicken with rice for dinner. Bill and I are going to watch LOST in a bit.<\/p>\n Lots of LOVE coming your way – today, and ALWAYS!<\/p>\n xoxo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m not into the commercialism of any holiday, but I do love every holiday for the traditions or memories it brings.
