A Geeky Valentines Day Idea using Twillio

My wife, Sherri and I have been married for 23 years.  I’ve always tried to do interesting things on our anniversary or Valentines day to make things a little special.  Here are a couple of examples:  Money was tight on our tenth anniversary so I just bought her some jewelry but I was resolved to do something great on our 11th.  With the help of a friend, I flew her to Vegas and had a limo pick us up for renewal of vows at the Little White Chapel.  It was great!  Elvis sang to us and we came away laughing as always!  A couple of years ago, I blindfolded her and took her to a lighthouse for dinner.  I drove all over the place to end up about one mile away from our house.  We had a great dinner. 

This year, I’m doing something COMPLETELY GEEKY!  I’m going to use Twillio

I’ve got a server (or not going to tell you where.)  I’m going to get an 866 number from Twillio.  I’m going to take their sample code (PHP) and put in love messages.  I will be launching URLs with the text message and it will SMS her with a phone number.  She dials the number and gets the luv message.  Fun, huh?  I’ll tell you how it goes.  Hopefully it won’t be spam love, just sappy… Check them out!
