My Valentine

Valentine's Day has become so commercialized that I feel the true meaning of it has become lost in how much money can be spent on someone. To me it's all about acknowledging that special someone in your life, but in the simplest of ways.

DB and I talked about how we wanted to spend the holiday. He told me that if I wanted to go out for dinner we could, but in my heart that's not what I really wanted to do. We decided that we would cook a nice dinner together, eat by candlelight and share a bottle of wine.

I have to say DB really made this a Valentine's to always remember. He took care of/planned everything. He bought a bottle of our favorite wine and an assortment of cheeses to nibble on while our homemade pizza dinner was cooking. He even thought of dessert which totally surprised me.

What made this all even more special to me was that DB doesn't cook and he still wanted to make me dinner! He is the best!!!!

  2. My DH was in Charleston w/ Micah for the day, I worked, & ended the day at a party that friends held. Yours was at least spent w/ a significant other. Looks like the dinner was delicious.

  6. Yum Yum... That pizza looks great. He doesn't cook, but does he pass along recipes? That was very sweet of him. You've got a keeper there. And the wine, great choice! I did Lasagne on V-day minus the man, but still had a great time with some good friends.
