Smitten

Hello, allow me to introduce myself—I am smitten.”

Hi, Everyone!

That is a verse from one of Rod Stewart’s songs from his Human CD. I was listening to that song on YouTube just last night as I was brainstorming some ideas to make a special Valentine for my sweetie pie Ray Hernandez.

And yes, y’all—that is the picture that we had taken at the Griffith Park Observatory. As you can see, it was a very clear and beautiful day, but it was also some kinda cold up there on that hill. I will say this, though: It was well worth it, given that Ray and I won’t be seeing each other until May.

By the way, I know it looks like I was waving, but I was reaching for Ray’s face when a kind security guard took our picture.

So, as it relates to the Valentine gift I have for Ray, I’ve already gotten the perfect Valentine card for him: On the front is a picture of a sunset along the beach, with the sun shaped like a heart, with two eagles are flying over a violet cloud, and the inscription reads: “Thinking of You on Valentine’s Day.” Now, on the inside is blank, so I’ve written my very own verse. To sum it up, I just mentioned how we are spending our first Valentine’s Day apart from each other, but my heart still beats for him. And to top it off, I literally sealed it with a kiss. That’s right—Ray’s gonna have my lipstick mark, along with a touch of my lilac perfume, as a special reminder.

Ruby suggested that I send the card a la carte on account of my lipstick print is enough of a present, but I want Ray to know that I put more thought into my gift for him because I think he’s a very special guy…

And a lightbulb just went off in my head!

I could ask Theo to help me put together a little booklet with a timeline that features how Ray and I have gotten to this point. I’ve got plenty of pictures and ideas for Theo to work with. I can also bake some Valentine brownies for my little sweetie pie. I’ll have to make a special trip to either Olive Branch or Memphis, but it’s gonna be worth it on account of Ray is really a special guy.

“Natasha Renee Stewart, you are like, so totally a freakin’ genius!”

Well, I gotta get to my Geometry & Trig class. Take care, y’all!


Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
