VALENTINE'S COUNTDOWN

submitted by: Anon

My fiancée and I are in a long-distance relationship. In fact, it would be difficult for that long-distance to be any longer - since she is in Orlando, Florida and I am in Manchester, England. It is because of this that I will unfortunately not be with her on Valentine's Day. In fact, we won't be together again until just over three weeks after that when I go out there for a week to enjoy her company and to get more of our wedding plans sorted out.

Anyway, since there are not too many days between those two dates, I have had the idea of combining her card with a kind of "Stephen' coming countdown". I don't know if you have Advent calendars in the States, but in the UK many people will get them at the beginning of December to count down the days to Christmas. Each day they open one of the little windows to find a picture that reminds them of some aspect of Christmas. So, what I have done is to buy the largest (tasteful) Valentine's card I could find along with some thick paper and a craft knife. 

I am cutting 23 little windows in the card and stick it across one side of the inside of the Valentine's Day card. Then, behind each window I will write a reason why I love Abigail, my fiancée, and put a date on the outside of the window from February 14th until March 8th - the day I arrive. She will then be able to count down the days to my arrival, whilst each day enjoying a special message from me
telling her how much I love her.
