On our first Valentine's Day together, he surprised me by renting a car and taking me up on a drive to a mountain resort. Then he snuck out a giant stuffed bear from the trunk of the car and gave it to me.<br /><br />I married him :DLlehnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03808225636111637085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-33747508612711968902010-02-16T15:55:29.092-08:002010-02-16T15:55:29.092-08:00What a cute story, Wendy.

That said, a lady I know has a son who's only in 1st grade and he came home with actual stars in his eyes, moaning "She's the prettiest girl in the whole wide world!" One of my favorite quotes by my 1st grader is "Don't tell Dad I like her, okay? He thinks girls are gross."Wendy Toliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642277380582169548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-91530497901505342732010-02-14T18:09:17.126-08:002010-02-14T18:09:17.126-08:00You mean I only have 2 years until my oldest start...You mean I only have 2 years until my oldest starts crushing on girls?!?!

My son will be 9 this week and luckily, he still thinks girls are "Gross, Mom!" Although he had a few special ones in his box Friday, so it proves once again that girls are just more advanced (and that he's a great catch)!Erica75https://www.blogger.com/profile/11956911792756252381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-55550561642339684782010-02-14T16:13:19.883-08:002010-02-14T16:13:19.883-08:00That's smart, Tina!

In fact, he took me to my FAVORITE restaurant, which is in beautiful Park City, UT, last night (so the night before V-day). It's also easier to get a babysitter on a non-holiday night. :)Wendy Toliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642277380582169548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-20218037437068979882010-02-14T15:59:49.259-08:002010-02-14T15:59:49.259-08:00Oh, Wendy, so cute about your 9 year-old expert ma...Oh, Wendy, so cute about your 9 year-old expert making a move early!<br /><br />The first Feb. 14 that my husband and I were dating, we attempted to go out to dinner, and got turned away at restaurant after restaurant for no reservations. And that launched a tradition that we never, EVER go out on Valentine's Day to celebrate...we pick another day of the month when the restaurants aren't crowded!TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-4792522117278726092010-02-14T11:38:48.406-08:002010-02-14T11:38:48.406-08:00Ah, thanks Cheryl!

He said because the other girl would probably say yes. So my DH and I talked him into "going for it" with the one he's been crushing on, and that she might say no but it would be totally worth it if she didn't. :)Wendy Toliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642277380582169548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-16971940391260972222010-02-14T09:23:21.684-08:002010-02-14T09:23:21.684-08:00I don't really have any good memories of V-day...I don't really have any good memories of V-days, but I love your post...and I hope your Romeo gets his Juliette choice.Cheryl Mansfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935387962306213177noreply@blogger.com
