Valentine's Day... a holiday I used to DRED as a single girl. Watching everyone in the school where I worked have bouquets of flowers delivered to their rooms and me secretly envying them. Now that I am married and will always have a Valentine it's a bit different.
It was fun watching everyone post pictures of their flowers on facebook yesterday, even knowing that I wouldn't be getting any. I love flowers don't get me wrong, but I would rather Daniel give me flowers on a random day rather than on Valentine's. We didn't go out to eat at a fancy restaurant either. We do enjoy the occasional times that we do go out, but I wanted to make a special meal myself for my man. I asked him what he wanted and he said something fried. Big surprise. I whipped out some chicken fried steak, baked potatoes, salad and a cherry pie, his fave.
Our gifts were more practical and we both agreed to spend no more than $20 on each other. I gave him a tool bag filled with a few goodies. He came up with a super sweet and thoughtful idea to treat me to special dates and things that I love all year long whenever I want. And after I return from my women's retreat I am to expect a couple of things. I love that he put the thought into that!
This isn't to hate on all the people who love the flowers, candy and wining and dining on V day, but to show a more simple side. Hope your Valentine's was special too!
