Gorilla of Love?

Ahhh, yes, the joy of Valentine’s Day! John and I don’t particularly go crazy to celebrate this Hallmark holiday, but there were definitely some surprises awaiting me this year.

Throughout our short time in Colorado, I had been seeing these hideous/crazy/hysterical/HUGE white Valentine’s Day stuffed bears, holding a big red heart, being sold on the side of the road in honor of the holiday. Now, to be silly, I kept telling John that I really desired one of these “adorable” creatures. He and I joked back and forth about it for a couple days…but then I awoke on the morning of Valentine’s Day…to be greeted by the “Gorilla of Love,” as Johnny called it! Ha! Check out the picture below…

Mr. Gorilla is pictured beside another primate, who was purchased by Juan-Pablo for his wife, Sofia (one of the couples we stayed with while we were in Colorado).

Nothing says “I love you,” like an oversized stuffed animal, right? I have a very funny, very wonderful husband. Now, it is important to mention that he did write me a really amazing, encouraging, loving card, and we went out for a delicious dinner that night. It was really a fun Valentine’s Day. And a little silly, which I appreciate!

We hope all of you found fun ways to spend Valentine’s Day with people you love. I’d like to hear if anyone got a gift that they think can beat my “Gorilla of Love”…? Probably not.
