This past Thursday was Valentine’s day as most of you are aware. I have never particularly loved Valentine’s day, it’s too commercial now days. I don’t want someone (AKA the hubs) to feel pressure to get a gift, b/c then it’s just given with a “have to do” attitude. I also don’t think we need one day out of the year to celebrate your love for your significant other, that should be happening all year round. I would prefer to be surprised with flowers or a nice dinner at a small hole in the wall restaurant on a day that’s not valentine’s day–just a regular day. We were talking the other day at dinner about this and decided that we are starting a new tradition…we’ll we’re actually stealing this from someone else (Brandi’s blog). So what we’re going to do from now on is just go eat somewhere, or at home…nothing fancy smancy and then go to Target. We will have $20 to spend on the other person in 20 minutes. You never know what you’ll end up with at Target….it could be 20 bags of skittles or 2 T-shirts or socks…who knows, that’s what makes it fun….and it’s Target so who wouldn’t like it. The pressure is just narrowed down to 20 minutes instead of like 2 weeks of thinking of what to do and what to get them blah blah blah. Don’t get me wrong I do love flowers and receiving flowers is awesome….but I can get those any day of the year 😉 hint hint!!
All in all, this valentine’s day was great–we went to eat some dinner and then came home and spent the evening with each other – and that’s all that matters.
