What am I doing? Well I'm glad you asked because I'm proud to say it will be my 7-year wedding anniversary! I got married on Valentine's Day in Magen's Beach, St. Thomas (shaped like a heart from the sky) to the greatest guy in the world and yes, he's very supportive of my book addiction! :)
We are going to Orlando for the night. Maybe do Universal, the outlet malls and going out for live jazz and a fancy dinner tonight!
Happy Valentine's Day!!

My Valentine's Day will be a quiet one at home with DH, probably watching movies, since he's not well.

Probably nothing, since my 2 year anniversary with my lovely husband is the next day, the 15th.
ReplyDeleteLuna-Now I really want to know what chicken riggies are.

First I'll be spending the day in an elementary school library teaching third graders research skills and talking to fifth graders about Tomie DePaola. I love books so spending the day in the library is not so bad, but I'll be topping off the evening with a romantic dinner out with my husband. I'm so happy he's not deployed this year.

Actually, we had an early Valentines Day yesterday. We got a babysitter and had a nice dinner. Mondays are way too crazy to do anything.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

For Valentines day my boyfriend has set up a scavenger hunt for me. All he has told me is that I'll get a text in the morning telling me where to start! AWW he's so sweet to me!

ReplyDeleteValentine's Day is just like any other day for me. Hubby is not big on holidays/special occasions. He's not much of a gift person, neither giving nor receiving. He is more of a gesture person. He believes every day is special. He's right in theory, but sometimes it would be nice...
ReplyDeletemonagarg@yahoo.com
happy anniversary! my valentines is going to be spent with a special someone as well. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletekatie_tp@yahoo.com
For Valentines Day I'm doing what I do every day, I was in a car accident and broke my C-6 in my neck so had surgery to fix it. My husband of 12 years is unfortunately unemployed, but working on opening a new business, so will do his best to work on that while also, cooking, cleaning, changing our bedding, helping me with a shower, and doing all of the rest in his best to show me how much he loves me and cares for me in the best way a man can. To be there for you when you are at your worst and not by spending money but by actually being there and taking care of me and my world. I don't think I can ask for anything better for Valentines Day! Now that is Love!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to leave me email address dancealert at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway, and happy anniversary! Not a fan of Valentine's Day, myself--I took the day off for a doctor's appt and then am treating myself to a pedicure. Bought some gifts for my daughter, that's about it--poor hubby gets nothing LOL
ReplyDeletecaldellizzi(at)gmail(dot)com
As Valentine's Day is a Monday, I'll be doing my usual routine: nothing special. However I'm not a big fan of V-Day and I'm single so I don't really care. Hopefully I'll have some time to read.
ReplyDeleteAlso Happy Anniversary!

First I have to work on Valentine's Day and then spending a quiet evening at home with Murph and the kiddlets. I know, not very romantic. lol
ReplyDeleteregina.linton@gmail.com
for v-day my boyfriend and I are going out to eat and coming home to watch a movie. Nothing better than cuddling after a yummy romantic dinner! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you and your hubby have a great v-day!

I am going to the dentist and then working late on Valentine's Day :(
ReplyDeleterickimc[at]aol[dot]com
For the first time in years I have no plans. I'll probably end up having dinner cooked for me, which is always a plus. Most likely spend the day cleaning house.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your anniversary!!

ReplyDeleteI will be spending it with my son. I will make something special for dinner, and homemade truffles for dessert.
ReplyDeletetwoofakind12@yahoo.com
Making a fantastic dinner for my Valentine when he gets home from work. Can you smell the aroma from the crock pot?? Love and romance is in the air!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Our anniversary is on February 11, our 17th. It is supposed to be good luck to get married before Chinese New Year which it was that year. We have already celebrated our anniversary with a big cake from the Chinese bakery. My husband made a big heart with beads on the living room walls. Today, we will be going out to nursery to look at flowers and trees and then do some window shopping.
ReplyDeleteCarolNWong(at)aol(dot)com
Happy Anniversary. Your Valentine's Day sounds like so much fun! I'm not exactly sure what I will be doing today. I am very pregnant and swollen, TEEHEE!!! Don't really feel like getting out, so maybe hubby and I will have to postpone. Thanks for the great giveaway and thanks for posting your wedding pictures, they are lovely.
ReplyDeletemrsjohnson1982 at yahoo dot com
You guys are adorable! For Valentine's Day, I'm probably having a nice dinner and chocolate for dessert with my handsome teenage son. He's about the only man in my life these days. :)

We aren't doing much for Valentine's Day. My other half and I don't really buy each other gifts, or have a date night or anything like that. I guess that is because I am of the belief that Valentine's is a completely commercial holiday, and that it shouldn't take giving a day a name and commercializing it to show someone you love them?? ( I'm a bummer, I know!)
ReplyDeleteHowever, that being said, my children and I will bake heart shaped cookies this afternoon.

Roasting chicken tonight, then watching Social Network, and hopefully babysit our 22-month old grandson if his parents go out to eat.

As far as I know we have nothing planned. This morning I was surprised with a necklace and chocolate covered strawberries. We will probably rent a movie.
ReplyDeletecoffeebooksandlaundry(at)gmail.com
Lovely pictures. We also had a beach wedding :) I don't know if we're doing anything different tonight since I'm really not a fan of this calendar holiday. However, on Friday we will be celebrating 5 years since hubby proposed so we might go out to dinner or do something nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat contest, please enter me :)

I will be making a nice meal for my family. We don't like to go out on Valentine's because everyone else does. I gave him a chocolate candy bar that had a certificate saying it was good for one massage. I may be giving it to him later.

We are just eating dinner together at a place we like after I am done at the gym. Not anything too romantic. I'm not the biggest fan of V-day, so it's not a big deal.

Valentine's Day isn't a big deal to us. I took my son to school and he had his party. While he was at school, the hubby and I went to the bank to fill out paperwork for a pre-approval on a home loan. In the afternoon we took the kids to the dentist. Very normal day.

Hubby and I went out the Friday before V-day. He took me out to Olive Garden for lunch, and then we went shopping and bought him a new shirt and got the boys some candy for the holiday. We didn't make it to dessert, since we were so full on our main courses, so we're going back for dessert sometime this week.
