I used to think Valentine’s Day was a coup between the card companies and the chocolate companies. What other holiday singles out singles? Ninety nine percent of my socks are single are they’re having a dang good time hanging out in the giant basket next to my bed. Can I let you in on a secret? I’ve never, and I mean never, had a real boyfriend on Valentine’s Day, no Dean from third grade you don’t count. This year though, this year is different, I uprooted my entire life for a man I’d known for a week last Christmas and I’ve never been happier in my entire life. Cabo San Lucas in February sounds like a dream, cocktails on the beach(hold the tail), a week with nothing to do other than the entire itinerary for my sister’s joint bachelor and bachelorette party. Will the week with my family pulls us apart or will it push us closer together? Are we headed towards the “L” word or will the week in paradise be a giant “L” in my love life?
