14 Days of Valentine's

This was Corey's Valentine's from me. I loved putting it together for him. I saw the idea on Pinterest but made all my own stuff. I didn't want to post about it earlier, fearing that Corey would see it. 

First I made my 'envelopes', 1-14.

Then you cut them out, fold over the ends, and write something inside. Some of my favorites I wrote are
-You are pretty dang handsome... and you have a cute butt.
-I love holding your hand.
-Thank you for being my #1 fan in everything I do.
-My heart belongs to you.
-Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite.
-I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my best friend/partner/lover/help meet you'll be.

Then glue the corners together in the middle, making sure the number is on top.

Then I attached them to a heart garland. I was so excited that I had this on hand. I bought it last year on clearance.

Add a card.

I asked Corey yesterday if he's enjoyed it. He told me that he has loved opening a letter everyday. It has given him something to look forward to each morning, and that he keeps the letter with him all day in his pocket. So sweet. I love him.

The kids made something for Corey as well for Valentine's Day and we mailed it off on Thursday. I hugged a stranger that day. She insisted on paying for Corey's package after Nathan told her "Daddy was at the army. But we can talk to him on the computer." I told her it was just for training. But she paid for it anyway. I had to hold back the tears, although I only succeeded half way. I guess there is still some good in this world.
