Fill-In-The-Blank: How To Write A Love Letter

Happy Lover's Day!

Yesterday, I drove Rusty and myself to Wal-Mart for me to get some socks.  When we got home, I reached in the floorboard for the bag, and pulled up two.  "What's this?" I asked.  Rusty replies, "Don't look in there!"  Too late.  I could already tell it was a card!  That is the only thing I ask for on any holiday.  The written word.

This morning, I get into my car, put it in reverse and that same Wal-Mart bag with my CARD in it catches my eye.  I just laugh!  I love how today isn't any big deal to us!  It was, however, a huge deal to the 130 9th graders I taught.  I saw more stuffed bears and candy hearts than ever!

I did get my card.  His beautiful writing still melts my heart.  For a jock, he sure has a way with words.  He got a card, too.  I also made him a little something.

I'm feeling a little tutorial...

How To: Dry Erase Love Letter

Go in Word, and type up a love letter.  Erase a few words here and there, and play around with the formatting and fonts.  Print out and put in a frame.  Velcro attach a dry erase marker to the back.  Fill in the blanks with a sweet/funny/sexy/sarcastic/crazy message.  Place where the other will find it.  Here are the some pictures of mine:

When he came in, I had it waiting beside his plate of home-made enchiladas (I know - fancy, right?!).  His reaction: "That is a really cool idea."  SCORE!  Knowing us, the sweet message will last through today, and we will start trying to outdo each other with funny/outrageous fill-in-the-blanks!  But we both know that I am the funnier one...

How did you spend your Valentine's Day?
