David sent me a package one week earlier, full of goodies, kissing bears, chocolates, lots and lots of Vitamins, and a card that I had to wait till Feb. 14 to read. In return, I sent him a card 2 weeks before V-Day (he got it right on time) and on the night of Feb. 14, had a "nice" talk on the phone. :whistle: What we talked about? That's a big secret! :devil:

We didn't do anything because Valentine's Day in Brazil is June 12th so he didn't even know it was V'day here, haha. But anyway, we celebrate our anniversary every month and I'm not big on this day so I doubt we would have done anything had he been here.

We'll be meeting up in Rio in 3 weeks so we're looking forward to that anxiously!
