Anyway given that yesterday was Valentine's Day and the first Valentine's Day we have celebrated as a married couple I thought I would share how Nick and I celebrate the day.
Neither of us are really big fans of the day so it passes with not a lot of "celebration". In fact last year I recall going to a class at the gym at 6pm or so. I did come home to take-out but gross sweaty me and take out really isn't the epitome of romantic.
This year we decided again to celebrate in much the same way. Nick asked if I wanted flowers to which I responded that I did not. I much prefer that if he is going to spend money on flowers for me it is a) a just because surprise not because a valentine's day tradition tells him to and b) buys them on a day when they haven't been marked up to ridiculous prices. Call me a curmudgeon....I'm ok with it :)
So what did we do. Nick surprised me with a very nice letter on my night stand to wake up to and then once we both got home from work we spent the night eating this:
Pizza from our favorite pizza place, beer and banana cream pie (my favorite!). Nick did consider getting a heart shaped pizza from Pappa Murphy's but they only came in pepperoni and since I don't like pepperoni he didn't think that would be a good idea. We ate our dinner and spent the entire night on the couch watching "Big Bang Theory."
I know it isn't for everyone- but that my friends is my idea of the best way to spend Valentine's Day! The only thing that would have been better would have been had I gotten a snow day, but Mother Nature has not been cooperating so no such luck.
