I'm one of those girls who used to go around telling boys that she didn't believe in Valentine's Day--and then would have her feelings terribly hurt when those boys didn't do anything special for her in honor of the occasion. I'd like to think that I've gotten better about this in recent years.
Along with improving my communication skills, I've also started celebrating Valentine's Day as less of a romantic Hallmark moment and more of a general celebration of love and friendship. As someone said to me the other day, "Don't we all need more love in our lives?"
Yes. Yes, we do.
My man and I are planning a pretty low-key evening. At the rate things are going, we'll probably be having this for dinner. And in what is becoming an annual tradition at our house, there will be some of this for dessert.
I don't know that our celebration will include much handmade detail this year. I certainly don't have anything like this up my sleeve. I think that's okay, though. I'm still getting the hang of this whole marriage thing, but if I'm understanding it right, you don't need lots of drama and fireworks to make something special. You just need each other.
I am a sap.
If you're a sap, too--or just a sucker for a good holiday--here are some last-minute ways to make your Valentine smile:
Have a lovely weekend!
