My Valentine

Instead of having the traditional romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day this year, my hubby planned a “throw back” night for us. The evening was so special and thoughtful.

Right before leaving for the evening I nursed Kaji and explained in detail the routine and wrote out an extensive list for my mother. Funny thing is, my mother already knew everything I was telling her; I just tend to be silly and micromanaging. I pumped earlier in the day so that my mother could give Kajanae a bottle while I was gone, and then Jamal and I would be home in time for me to nurse her again. Acaijah and Ciahnna came with mom to help out with Kimora and Kariah. Corinne couldn’t make it; she had a date! *wink wink ;). Dad and mom had their special date earlier in the afternoon, so, don’t worry! They got to celebrate Valentine’s Day, as well. :)

I wore a black empire waist halter dress that Jamal loves. I’m actually smaller than my pre-pregnancy size; my doctor seems concerned. I weigh less, yet my boobs are bigger. Anyway, this is a tangent and not the direction that I had intended for this post!

First stop was a production of the musical Godspell. This was an EXCELLENT interpretation of the original classic. I performed in my university’s production of Godspell when I was a student, so seeing the performance was very nostalgic for me! Next stop was a diner we frequented as dating lovebirds. During dessert, despite my cajoling against it once I figured out what he was intent on doing, Jamal waltzed up to the karaoke stage. He then proceeded to sing Chris Brown’s With You. I could only stare adoringly at him the entire time, our eyes locked through the whole song. I was in tears. A beautiful moment I’ll surely remember.

I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight

Hey lil mama, ooh you're a stunner
Hot little figure, yes you a winner, and
I'm so glad to be yours
You're a class of your own and
Ooh little cutie, when you talk to me
I swear the whole world stops
You're my sweetheart and
I'm so glad that you're mine
You are one of a kind, and
You mean to me what I mean to you
And together baby there is nothing we won't do

'Cause if I got you
I don't need money
I don't need cars
Girl you're my heart

And oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight
With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... girl
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... Oh girl

I don't want nobody else
Without you there's noone left, and
You're like Jordans on Saturday
I gotta have you and I cannot wait now
Hey lil shorty, say you care for me
You know I care for you
You know that I will be true
You know that I won't lie
You know that I will try
Be your everything


'Cause if I got you
I don't need money
I don't need cars
Girl you're my heart

Oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight
With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... Yeah

And I will never try
To deny that you are my whole life
'Cause if you ever let me go
I would die so I won't run
I don't need another woman
I just need you or nothing
'Cause if I got that
Then I'll be straight
Baby you're the best part of my day

I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
They need their boo
They gotta see their boo
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
Hearts all over the world tonight

And oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight
With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh(girl)
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you...
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you...
Baby yeah

Thank you, baby, for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day. Five-and-a-half years and counting. I look forward to many more years with you. All my love; your shawty forever. <3
