A Valentines Day Miracle--4 men and a lady.

I try not to base my worth on my Valentine's Day plans, seeing that I've never had a true valentine on the actual holiday, but I'm also human and it can be frustrating that year after year it's just me and a box of chocolates watching a chick flick. Ok, maybe it's not that bad but needless to say I try to focus on the good and the people I love. 

Valentine's Day this year was good. I had the day off from work because of the snow storm. I worked out, I went on a walk with my friend Kathryn, I took a nap, I wrote some cards to people, people delivered some cute cards and goodies to me, I got to see my roommate Melissa after a 2 month hiatus, I ate Kabob Palace with Allison and crashed Lindsay's house to help Jarilyn pick out her outfit for her date---I felt like I was 16 again, glorious! And I got invited to my friend's house for some cookie making and a movie. Sure, it was a cliche invite but I was grateful nonetheless.

And here comes the miracle. That day I prayed and I said, "Lord. I'm tired of this. I want to feel special today--however it may be--by a man." There were a few more words, but that was the gist of it.

At 8pm Friday night I get a call from my friend, Bryce (below in the plaid shirt) and he says "Susie, come to the E Street Cinema and watch the animated short films with us. So far, you're the only girl." Umm, yes please! I then bail on the chick flick party and am greeted at the door with 4 men. My lucky night! While we joked about an "elimidate"and I flirted incessantly the entire night, I basked in the attention of 4 men. I felt cute, I felt special, I felt funny. It was grand. 

So here we are before the short films. Although I honestly didn't feel like they were that great, the company made up for that!




A Valentine's Day to remember, that's for sure! Oh and God hears our prayers. Remember that!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!
