I LOVE VALENTINES DAY. In Intermediate School I used to make my Mom send me balloons and flowers to the school office. Then I'd get a note in class that I got a delivery. I'd go pick them up and then I'd tell people that I didn't know who they were from. Dork.

If I'm off the ship I always get a Valentines outfit. Something cute, pink and, heart inspired. I also have many, many pairs of heart shaped earrings. Win.

Today I wore a pink jacket that is stained and has tattered sleeves but it's L.L.Bean so you know....I'll wear it foreva. I also wore sparkly red dansko clogs with my work pants. If that isn't a shipboard Valentines outfit I really don't know what is.

Valentines is also my Besties birthday. Shout Out!!! Hau'oli La Hanau...love ya like a sista...Hilo girls represent! (Okay fine...that was a little over the top but stop it....you loved it....)

My Third Mate gave me a Dove heart shaped dark chocolate today. It was awesome. My wrapper said: Watch the sun come up. Unfortunately sunrise was cloudy. So Sunset will have to do.
