He took me on a surprise date to a movie and quick dinner (it's hard on a school night when you've got kids) and he got me a spa package and a sweet card. I went the "thru the stomach" route and made him cookies and a really fancy dinner.

It's just a day like any other except my husband always buys the kids a box of chocolates and a silly card. We try to go out to dinner, but we are always on the opposite side of town on a soccer of softball field. I think it is a special day for young love. You would think with a last name like Bigheart, I would have a firm opinion.

I'm not in a relationship or anything, so I might be missing something that other people see. But then I think about how many people get excited and festive, and I wonder if they just feel love in the air or if they love the idea of being in love on a special day. I am in high school, so people are constantly in and out of relationships, and it makes me wonder if they even know what love really is or what i can be. I guess I'm anti-Valentine's Day at this point. Who knows? Maybe my opinion will change on the whole thing. <br /><br />Well, Happy Valentine's Day to those who enjoy the holiday. :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145481239329012631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-42139978955233371542011-02-14T09:58:42.473-08:002011-02-14T09:58:42.473-08:00I think it's a sweet day.

The closest he's come to celebrating V-day with me is proposing... 2 days after V-day. But, we did start a tradition after we got married. Every year, the weekend before V-day, we go to IKEA and buy furniture! I wouldn't have it any other way. And to complete my V-day gift, he puts everything together! ;o) xoxoBwyatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683685551503362225noreply@blogger.com
