This year Andrew and I have decided that we are not going to celebrate Valentine's Day. He's a little nervous that this is a trick and that it will quickly backfire, but it truthfully isn't going to :) There have been times in the past where I've NEEDED something special on Valentine's Day.. where I've needed to feel appreciated, loved, or special. I'm sure there will be times in the future where I feel the same way, but this year that is not the case. There is nothing Andrew could do on Vday to show me he loves me any more than he does on a daily basis. He's a terrific husband. He tells me he loves me 300 times a day. He hugs & kisses me constantly. He tells me he misses me when he calls from work. He helps cook & clean whenever I ask (& sometimes on his own). He tells me I'm the best wife ever every day.. and those are strong words since I have not been myself most of this pregnancy! He lays in bed & plays with my hair every night, even when he isn't ready for bed yet. He is simply amazing.

I do feel a little bad for single people on Valentine's Day. I was never one of those "I hate my life & everyone hates me because I'm single and alone today" kind of people, but I can understand why some feel that way. It breaks my heart that some people feel so lost, so lonely, and so unloved. I wish I could help these people understand what they're truly worth. Sigh.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day & that those who need to be spoiled and given some extra loving get what they deserve. The truth is, I think we're a little too cheap to celebrate. Hmmm DQ Vday date? $6 might be worth it :P
I feel ya, girl. Aaron has a big career deciding presentation on February 15, so I won't be getting a Valentine's Day but not by my choice! I just ordered him some chocolate covered cinnamon bears from the BYU bookstore, though, so I am sure he will enjoy them :).
