Happy Valentine's Day

Yes, they celebrate Valentine's Day here. Just like America, you see roses everywhere, big hearts and pink and red all around. People find their "valentine" and give them cards and roses and candy. Today I had an amazing Valentine's Day filled with so much love! At the school I was bombarded with roses and Valentine's Day cards. Everyone wanted to be my Valentine :) Then at Agape I was given even more flowers from the kids and Boonchoi even gave me a little rose with a little note. It was a surprise in my room. It was so sweet! All the children were just showering me with love! It was just a wonderful Valentine's Day!

In the evening we went to a Thai wedding. It's so funny how they do things here, because me and Terra didn't even know the people, but we were invited to their wedding. This wedding was definitely unusual. Three couples were all getting married at the same time. It's the first time I've ever been to a wedding like that. It reminded me a little of a Las Vegas wedding in an Elvis chapel. There were hot pink neon lights in every other light socket and there was Christmas wrapping paper that was cut and lined the rows.
It is definitely not how I would picture a wedding but the people were happy. After the wedding we had some amazing food, and that made the whole thing worth it! Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day as well full of tons of love and joy and a couple unique experiences of your own.
