Happy Valentine's Day!!

I must admit that Valentine's Day has never been a favorite holiday of mine. I was the perpetual single friend among those I hung out with and I HATED it. I got roses and wishes and gifts from friends and family, but I remained constantly hopeful that at least one Valentine's day would hold the opportunity for an epic romance. I was such the wishful thinker!!

I guess now I prescribe to the belief that every day should be Valentine's day. Not like the chocolates, flowers, etc., but that you tell the people you love that you love them, even if it's just by picking your towel up off the bathroom floor or fixing a dinner you think your family will like. I still don't love V-day, and I probably never will, despite the fact that I am now married with a significant other. I just don't like the crowds and the pressure to find yet another great gift.

I am perfectly happy to say that we went to Sam and Andy's last night, got some ice cream and drove around town for a bit. I got Jason some camping items and we are booking a camping trip for April. He got me the Big Bang Theory first season and a hilarious card - which was perfect. Jack is still too young to know the difference, so I think we can wait one more year for a Valentine for him.

I hope your Valentine weekend is as simple and complete as mine is shaping up to be!
