Then:
– Roses (I used to get her one for each valentine’s day we had celebrated together)
– Candlelight
– Dinner reservations
– Exchange of thoughtful, romantic gifts
– Little black dress
– Spending the day holding hands, looking into each other’s eyes, and generally being the vomit-producing mushy gushy couple
Now:
– Sweat pants
– Pink pancakes and heart shaped grill cheese
– Walk to the playground holding the sticky hand of a 3-year-old
– The only gift exchange is the purchase of a new minivan for the family
– Laundry, dishes, giving the dog a bath
– Baby giggles, “I wub you mommy”, and stealing kisses from my wife as she makes another bottle. And I thought I was happy then 🙂
