Lent and Valentine's Day

So we're so close to Valentine's Day, what like 2 weeks away. I don't know what to do or give my lovely bf.. HELP!! Been thinking for a long time time but I'm blank. Any ideas would be wonderful.
Anyways, regardless of that day being the day of love, I know we don't have to give each other anything or he doesn't because he shows me love all the time and that's more special than showing love only one day of the year. 
We have decided we're going to go to this restaurant that's buffet style but the food there is delicious. you can have steak and shrimp and you don't pay for the steak and shrimp cost but you still get the taste. Yummy! He asked me to invite my parents so they're going to go and we're taking my son. So it will be a nice family time out. Well almost how it is every weekend anyways. =D Sundays it's usually all 5 of us when we eat but it never makes it less special. 

On February 16th we're going on a little birthday party with a friend of his so that will be nice. 

On the 17th we're celebrating my sister's 26th birthday on a sunday brunch thing after mass. And she said we would celebrate both our birthdays just how when we were little but her birthday is on feb 16th and mine was on January 7th but nonetheless the thought of her including me is nice. 
those are busy days. 

Lent

The time of reflection within ourselves is here. February 13 is the beginning of lent with Ash Wedensday.... so all you wondering when MARDI GRAS is ... (FAT TUESDAY) it will be tuesday FEB 12 =D 
So Johnson and I have decided to get to know each other as a couple better and reflect and communicate better more than the affectionate ways during this time of reflection. I'm sure it will help us grow in our faith together and allow us to understand each other in different ways. So it happens to come before V-day it's ok. Because there is a deeper love and a love we have to share with God and ourselves. If we never sacrifice or challenge ourselves when will we meet who we are and if we're truly up to doing it for the long run. 

See i go to a prayer group every friday night with my mom and I have learned so much more about our faith and honestly a lot has to do with faith. And Johnson and I go to mass every sunday and then he goes off to his RCIA classes and then I learn about what he learned and it helps me as well. It seems as God has the right people places in my life for it to get better. My Son goes to mass with us. He still doesn't quite get it but in a way I understand because I'm barely trying to understand. At least we get him there. It first started with allowing his to use our phones and play games and once he started going slowly took the phone away and now he's better, not always happy but we're all together. And he's behaving well so I'm one happy mom. =D And he's mellow and loves going to the prayer group. mainly because the kids but he goes and next year he will go to catechism and he will learn more and tell me about it. =D 
Alright, so I guess I'm starting to write again and it feels great. =D
