In all honesty, we've mostly celebrated it already. We did an early dinner last Saturday at the Olive Garden because restaurants are impossible to get into on Valentine's Day. We had a gift certificate for there that we received as a wedding gift, so we ordered fancy drinks instead of water and really spiced up our lives.
We also decided to nix the gifts this year and instead buy each other a kitchen table! We were tired of sitting on our couch side by side for meals. It just doesn't cater bonding and it does nothing good for your carpet. We shopped and shopped and fell in love with a table that was on sale at Shopko. However, after some measurements and calculations, we sadly realized the seemingly small table would completely take up our kitchen dining area. If we didn't want chairs or a trash can or a way to open the back door, maybe it would have worked. So we caved into the realization that we have a small table space and we may not want to invest in a real table until we have a bigger place. So we went out and purchased a card table set. From WalMart. With folding chairs. Not a very charming Valentine's gift, but we love it all the same.
In other news, I'm still getting used to a new hair cut (I have like three ways of doing it: trying to make in into a bob which it hates, curling it, or putting it into a pony tail) and the weather has been so so strange--lots of snow and then really mild. We went up to Bridal Veil Falls last week to check out the frozen waterfall. UT may have bizarre weather and bad drivers, but it sure can be gorgeous.
Well, I hope you all have a great day o' love! May your week be full of chocolates, flowers, and tiny Valentine's with super heroes and cartoon characters on them.

really, you should see our kitchen table now--a mess. that is why i suggest waiting until your kids and spouse, I mean kids are grown. It's just not worth the heartache.
