After a long time...

Yes, I never wrote since a long time... almost a month. Have been busy lately.

Well, where do I start now? Valentine's day or Marriage day? Both. That weekend was great. I was so very happy that I still feel that elation after a month. We ate the best food, saw the best movie, went shopping....

My husband surprised me on Valentine's day. As soon as I got up, the first thing that I saw were flowers in his hands. Red roses!! He wished me right on the bed before I could even set my foot down and that too with red roses!! He bought yellow roses for the kids. We had a great day together as a couple, reminisizing the good old days.... Two days before marriage, 12 years back, when all of us were are the marriage mandapam, I sent a valentine's day card for Prasad through my cousin. And look at the autrocity, it fell in my mother-in-law's hands and she read it and then gave it to his sister to give it to him. That was my last valentine's as a maiden and I was obviously excited that I was getting married in two days' time. Thankfully, I didn't know about this mom-in-law incident till I was married....

My flowers for my husband arrived on feb 16th early morning for our anniversary!! He loved them.They were roses of all colours.My husband after 12 years of marriage, for the first time,actually took the day off on our anniversary. Incidently, the kids had holiday on 16th due to President's day.So all the four of us, just freaked out... were on the road the whole day, went to temple, had lunch at Mayuri, went shopping, went to dinner to a Japanese restuarant. That was the first time I have been to a Japanese restuarant. The food was different. The cook cooks in front of you as you sit around the table. That was exciting. The fried rice , he made it in seconds,in front of us. The best part was the wasabi . It is made with horse radish and mustard.. a chutney or spread kind of stuff which we had to eat with sushi. Sushi is rice rolled in sea-weed and steamed.It was an appetizer. And the Wasabi is so very spicy and tangy, it just goes straight from the mouth through the nose. Wow! The best thing I ever ate. Good that all the four of us like to try new stuff and enjoy food like no one else!!

12 years back, I was married to this loving gentleman and I still blush like a new-bride whenever I think of my love which didn't end but grew more after marriage and has been growing more and more ever since....
