Well, tonight was an awesome night! I had the opportunity to spend my Valentine's Day with family and friends. We called it our "Fondue party" We had it beautifully set up with candles lit everywhere and fancy snacks. We made up some lasagna and momma made a cream cheese/marshmallow dip for pineapple and strawberries. We made some delicious Mexican hot chocolate, and of course, our fondue. We had marshmallows, pretzels, and strawberries to dunk into the chocolate. We had a wonderful night full of laughter and love for one another. My daddy did a devotion on love and did a marvelous job. It is so wonderful to constantly be reminded of what true love really is. It isn't a warm fuzzy feeling or something that just happens, it is a choice. A choice we all must make whether we realize it or not. Tonight I realized how much family and the good friends we have are so important in my life. We all love one another and constantly share a bond that can't be described into words. Looking into the faces of all who was here, I realized how much we need each other. We were all each others "Valentine".:)
One of my favorite memories with my children is sharing a fondue night once in a while. There is something about the candles, the warm, melted chocolate, and the special fruits that we coat in the fondue that makes it a memory, not just a dessert.
