This Valentine's Day is also my 6 month anniversary. I will be celebrating by going out to eat with my husband at Olive Garden. I only get to go there on special occasions because he's not big on Italian food. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day!

It was low-key this year. Since the holiday is on a weekday this year, we celebrated over the weekend. My parents gave each other their favorite candy (Mom, dark chocolate; Dad, macaroons). I didn't really receive anything, but felt good helping both shop for their gifts (they're older).

 ;D Happy Valentines Day! This year I decided to do something alittle different. Alot of people think that this day is more for couples,etc... and I did  celebrate it that way with my baby, but alot of us at the church that I attend decided that it would be a wonderful thing to make heart-shaped sugar cookies and home-made cards for all of the elderly men and women of the church. Most of them are without a spouse and it would be nice to let them know that they are loved and appreciated. I must say it went very well. The smiles and hugs was well worth the effort. It brought a whole new and wonderful meaning to Valentines Day!!! :wave:

Happy valentine's day!

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day  :peace:
