Valentine's Day has never been a huge deal for me although it's always nice to decorate for it and do a teeny tiny bit of celebrating. Emily at

here has got me thinking about Valentine's Day.
Aren't these cookies she made just too cute to pass up? What a great idea!
These little cookies just totally got me in the lovey-dovey mood and also got me thinking about how I spent Vday over the last few years.
Last year M and I spent the day lounging and enjoying life on Laguna and Newport beaches. Here are a few pictures which are making me long for days like this with him.

And the year before that we apart so I made a mixed CD full of love songs, sent him a copy of The Five Love Languages (which I highly recommend if you haven't read it) and baked Valentine cupcakes and sent everything in a package to California. I happened to have a few pictures of the flowers M sent me that year. Tulips are my absolute favorite, aren't they beautiful?
So this year I'm feeling a little sentimental since I'm missing M an extra amount this week and I'm also a little blah, like boo Valentine's Day. I would love to go see The Vow on the actual day but can't bring myself to sit alone in the theater especially when there will be dozens of couples there. No way Jose, no pity card for me.
Are you doing anything special for your love this year? Special can mean anything from cooking dinner together to going on a date so please share with me, I love reading your comments!
Those cookies are not only cute, but look DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteCorey and I are staying in this year and cooking dinner together. It is our first Valentine's Day living together, so we are taking full advantage of no roommates or parents to intrude.
