Valentine's Day secret mission

So, part two of the "I meant to write about this DAYS ago!" series: Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day went very well. Augusta had work starting at four, so we couldn't really do anything then (or so I had her believe), and we planned to make up for it on Sunday (or so I had her believe). In reality, I've been planning for more than a week to show up at her house and suprise her, which I did - got up at 7:30 AM to be getting everything together; a dozen roses, a necklace, a CD, et cetera. Then I went offline a bit before noon to "take a shower" and twenty minutes later showed up at her house. What's funny is that later on, I found a post on LGN that she made at just about exactly the time that I was leaving the house saying that she didn't "have anything planned for Valentine's Day, unfortunately."

So I showed up at her house, and her parents answered the door and caught on quickly enough to not tip her off - apparantly, Augusta herself had just gotten out of the shower mere moments before, and was in fact attempting to contact me on Google Talk. Oh, the irony. So her mother told her to put something on and come down, which she did, to find me standing there with roses looking mildly amused. There was much hugging. I have got to say, the look on her face when she first came down was the cutest thing I've ever seen. Imagine if 1,000,000,000 kittens formed into a suprised and happy facial expression. It was like that.

I hung out with Augusta until she had to go to work at 4:00 PM... Cuddled, tickle-fought, talked, went out for lunch... She even bought me a box of my favorite cherry cordials to reciprocate. Which reminds me, thank you, honey. They were good.

Honestly, the best part of the whole deal was just seeing how happy my showing up by suprise made her. I felt really good about pulling it off so well. Gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. I like warm fuzzy feelings. And I don't think I've ever been told I'm "cute" so many times in a four-hour period before. Man, I do love that girl.

So my Valentine's Day was spent in the company of my sweetheart. I think that's a win, right?
