Valentine's Day has never been a very big production around here. Sure, we'll do something small for the other person, but we don't feel the need to do anything super extravagant... and that's the way we like it. This year, I got a surprise delivery during the day of some beautiful pink, red, and white tulips, which are definitely a nice bright spot in our living room and are making it smell like spring (and they've barely opened still)! Then we had one of Ryan's favorite dinners that evening (sweet and sour chicken), followed by some yummy cheesecake--which tasted amazing but didn't look very pretty, so no pictures.
Ryan is not a very big flower-giver, which works out great because I am not so much a flower-wanter. Definitely not our "love language." We both agree that we would rather take the money that would be spent on flowers and go to dinner or a movie or something like that. That being said, when he actually does surprise me with flowers, it catches me off guard and is extra exciting and the "I-don't-ever-need-flowers" mindset quickly becomes another lost thought for a few days. We hope you all had a lovely day of love, as well! Chances are, if you're reading this, you're probably on our list of people we love!

So what was for dinner? ;)
I LOVE to get flowers, although I don't get them often because we don't justify the money. I just like to have pretty flowers that I don't have to worry about keeping alive. :) Honestly, though....the best flowers are the cheap, pretty Wal-Mart ones. They look pretty and we can afford them more often. It's all about quantity. :) Isn't that awful? LOL Miss you guys!!
Pretty! Dan and I are the same w/ Valentine's. We usually don't do much. I would also like to know what delicious meal you guys made for dinner.
We went all out this year for V-day...IN-N-Out. :) mmmm (saving for this little baby girl is a little more necessary right now but it really was good and such a treat to go out even to fast food)
Those are really pretty flowers!!! go Ryan
gorgeous tulips! love them! Love you too :)
