Happy Valentine's Day

I don't think Andy or I are very into this Valentine's Day thing. Sure it's cute when you are in elementary school and you get to make your boxes or decorate your bags and get super excited about exchanging valentines with cheesy pictures and phrases on them (OK, so maybe I did that on Friday with my kids and had fun...) but it seems like the older I get the more I think it's just a holiday created to get people to spend money. Why not tell the person you love, you love them everyday or just randomly suprise them throughout the year with fun thing?. That seems so much more special than expecting something on a certain day because society says so. Needless to say we didn't do anything special for Valentine's. Actually we did nothing at all. Now, let me finish my story before assumptions are made ;oP

We have date night just about every Friday night. It usually involves going out to dinner and watching a movie or walking around Target. We did this as we always do (we ate dinner at this great Mexican Restaurant, Bravo's. It just opened and I highly recommend it! The food is great and the prices are good.) and I was feeling tired but thought it was just from the crazy day and being slightly dissappointed that snow was returning to Cary and Wilmington of all places when we were supposed to go visit Andy's parents. Saturday I felt even ickier and was actually quite glad the snow came and postponed our trip. Sunday I woke up burning up and throughout the entire weekend, the sweetest husband ever did nothing but take care of me and try to make me happy. That's better than any Valentine's gift I could imagine. Though, he got to watch sports all weekend so he did get something out of it after all.

I guess snow is still magical...
