Dare I say Valentine?

Since I'm married it probably is a given that husband and I celebrate it. But we don't take it very seriously or I don't anyway. I always say the same ol' for the past how many years we've been together:

• Don't spend a lot of money
• Don't spend it on flowers cause they die
• I prefer you making me something
• I like food
• Don't spend a lot of money (that's not a typo, I normally repeat that one to him)

So, today, Valentine's Day, husband came to pick me up and together we went to eat at Nando's. So we arrive at Nando's and since I was carrying a heavy bag with me I asked him to open the trunk so I could transfer some stuff in there while we were in the parking lot. In response to my request my dear fishy-looking husband reluctantly responded: "Trunk?"

I didn't have to ask him anything cause in a second I knew what he had going on. He popped open the trunk while I glanced around for a spot to dump my stuff when my eyes landed on a dozen of 'em red ones sitting near the back. "You got me roses?? AWww."

There they sat, next to the gym bag. Mmm smells good??

"Awwwwwwww..." I'm imagining you gals out there chiming in with the awwwws in unison right about now.

Obviously when he decides to give you what you didn't ask for just accept it cause he was thinking of you. I held myself back on the spending money on flowers lecture.. but I did ask if they were expensive.

I looked at the bouquet and lol'ed. To me it was still a surprise since I had no idea he bought me flowers.

We already had our Boathouse dinner to "celebrate" our Valentine's dinner a few days ago. We would have had that dinner even if it wasn't Valentine's Day since we bought a Boathouse gift card from Costco that would have had to be used anyway. Boathouse has been our go-to restaurant for celebrating "us."



Anti-Valentine (hey that rhymes) or not, here's me wishing you a Happy February 14th! : D
