For some reason - I can remember random events that happened on particular day for sometimes several years back...I think I got this from Liesel and Katie because I can remember one evening when we spent about an hour thinking back through the years of what happened on a particular day in June. All I can remember now from that was that we couldn't believe so many things had happened on that particular day.
So...as I sit here thinking about Valentine's day - I think about how I have spent my last few V-days:
2008: I flew to Philadelphia for work on Southwest Airlines. I remember the flight attendants handing out Valentine's day candy and the plane being decorated for the special day. Once arriving in Philly - my manager, Mike, and I took a walk around the city, saw the Liberty Bell and Constitutional Hall and we at an Irish pub.
2007: I was home in Lawrence recruiting for TFA w/ my manager, Casey - and we had dinner at Mom and Dad's - ahhh, the seafood pilaf!!
2006: I remember this one the most because the night before my car door broke and Mom and Dad had been watching "24" and didn't answer the phone when I called for help (no hard feelings!). On V-day...I sent out an e-mail to my siblings about the previous night's happenings and I remember Liesel calling me after one of my classes to tell me it was the funniest e-mail that she ever read. I know for dinner - Blair, Amy, and I went to Chipotle and I can specifically remember Blair telling me to apply for Teach For America's corps - and I actually started an application that night (the deadline was in 2 days)...but I got distracted because Liesel called me again to tell me she and Eric were expecting their first child.
2005: Can't remember...
2004: My roommates and I decided that we were going to spend Valentine's day alone and so we decided to round up our guy-friends from the schol-halls and go get dinner some place. We ended up going McDonald's and then came back to schol-hall land to watch 'Bend It Like Beckam'.
2003: I remember that I received a handmade Valentine from Katie this year...I wonder if I still have it in one of my boxes at home...it was so pretty!!
Hmmm...6 years back and only missing one isn't that bad. If anyone can remember what happened in 2005 - let me know.
Happy St. Valentine's Day!!
Love,
Mitzi

I don't know how you Keel girls remember these things...I can barely remember what I did last week. If I'm lucky I can remember something from one Valentine's, but even then I wouldn't even know which year it was.
Happy Valentine's Day! 1st post!!
Great post, Mitzi!
Was 2005 the Koinonia (sp) reunion? Was that Valentine's day?
Hmmm...an interesting thought, Liesel - I guess if Lent was early enough then it could have been that weekend...
I'm now thinking that wasn't the weekend as Valentine's Day was a Monday that year. Hm. . .curious.
