Valentine’s is a quick day that comes and goes. You spend a dinner with your loved one, hand them a card and wake up the next day to move on. 

This year I had planned a low key event for Justin and I. It wasn’t a big deal. Just the two of us going to see a movie and then have lunch at the restaurant we met. Simple and easy. 

Justin texted me a day later and said how about we have dinner at this place I have been dying to try at a local hotel. I thought it was a cleaver idea. We headed down there to celebrate out Valentine’s and I mentioned how I thought about booking a room there but didn’t because it was too much. We did not need to go overboard for this day.

We had a great dinner and as we were heading out, Justin told me it was time to check in. HE had booked us a room there as a surprise. How sweet is that? It was a great surprise and really made the weekend great!

Well here it is Monday and I am feeling the hangover. It was the rush of living life. I am guilty of not always enjoying life. I spend most of my time saving for experiences in the future which never get here. I am missing out enjoying the present. Justin knows this and that is why he booked the room so we could live life now. 

So after my wonderful weekend, the best present I receive was just that “the present”. Living in the present is the best thing you can do to live your life out loud!
