So my Valentines Day started at 6 am when I woke up.
I finally got up at 6:30.
And got out the door around 8:20 to the board meeting retreat to take pictures for my final project for media production.
Every single person there was wonderful and lovely and wanted to get to know me, the freaking photographer/ media student that is doing a documentary.
They were all fantastic!
Then I came home and relaxed for a few hours before I freaked out about what I was going to wear on my date! EEEK!
Which if you didn't read until the bottom of Singing Valentines (shame on you!) you wouldn't have seen the last two lines saying I had a date. So this is new news!
The roommate can attest to the true amount of hot mess I was emanating yesterday.
It took me a good hour to get dressed!
The roommate literally dug through my closet and picked out outfit after outfit.
You know how when you are really excited and nervous for a date and you cannot find anything to wear even though there is an entire wardrobe to comb through.
Yeah that was me...
Thank god the roommate is so patient or i'm pretty sure she would have killed me.
An hour later I finally had an outfit. Threw the mop of hair up in a bun, went out to dinner with the roommate as our Valentines Day date, and then got a drink with the man.
His name is Alex just so you all know. The family and friends can all stalk now because there are pictures to prove I actually went on a date and didn't make him and the whole bit up.
I think now that some holidays are ruined because there is so much hype and so many expectations that go along with it.
That you need to make it the biggest most romantic extravagant evening ever!
But really sometimes the simpler the better.
This was our first date so I didn't expect anything at all, and I didn't want anything as well.
I just wanted to enjoy the evening with him.
So if you think having your first date on Valentines Day is daunting, don't think of it that way.
Just think of it as another day to get to know someone new.
I totally forgot it was Valentines Day and how everyone else is making these huge proclamations of love.
I hate how fake and over hyped Valentines Day has become so just doing something different was a breathe of fresh air.
I left little envelopes with hearts cut out that had things that I loved about her on them for the roommate around the apartment. And she left me a scavenger of candy with little notes. Plus we went out on dinner date!
But mine was spent simply and I loved that.I went and got a glass wine with the man. Mine a Riesling white wine and his a Sauvignon Blanc. This is an odd occurrence because most people in Colorado love their beer and such. Then we just got to know each other better.
I'm ready for date #2!
