Apparently it's REALLY hard to find a word to rhyme with 'Alex' But 10/10 for effort!

Laughing here! Out LOUD! I didn't see that coming!!

We've been together 37 years too, @diamondringlover! And that's EXACTLY the sort of thing I want now in life! Someone who puts gas in my car? Oh yeah! Bring it on!! Happy Valentine's Day!

We went out to dinner last night & both of us got sick from the food .... so much for romance
I hand made my dh a card & he is cooking today (even though he feels sick) which I really appreciate

I went to a Philadelphia Orchestra concert this afternoon. One of the musicians proposed to another one of the musicians on stage. They got a standing ovation.

We bought ourselves a Peloton! I gave him a card today, our son ate all of the chocolate We're ordering in and waiting for the little to go to bed

We always said that Valentine’s is for dating couples, and once married, we never really celebrated Valentine’s Day. However, dh decided to cook me a nice steak dinner tonight, so I decided to surprise him with a strawberry-banana cream pie that I picked up after work.

he surprised me after dinner with the most beautiful and thoughtful gift that he made himself!!!! This is a light box/ lamp he made with a 3D printer that he kept hidden in our bonus room walk in closet!
I was so shocked and emotional....this lightbox has pictures of all my kiddos including Noah my fur baby.

I woke to find beautiful tulips and a very sweet from DH. I knew it would be a long day since I had to take my son to the DMV to get his driver's license. Over a 2 and a half hour wait. But we went to lunch at a Mexican food restaurant next door and that killed an hour of the wait. It was really nice to have a one on one lunch with my son. That rarely happens. This evening none of the kids had plans (completely unusual!) We all went to a local diner and to an ice cream shop for dessert. It was such a great night. DH and I are always happy to have time with all the kids, fully knowing those times are fewer and further apart.

So jelly! How I wish I could spend time with my daughter! Went so fast! She’s in college now. Enjoy them!

DH isn’t big on gifts and I’m finally coming around. Our compromise is gifting experiences instead. We do things outside of our comfort zones that the other person would enjoy. So for Valentine’s Day he did a climb/hike with me that was a little more difficult than he originally bargained for, and I arranged to dine at the Chef’s table at a restaurant that DH saw on a travel show. Both experiences were excellent.

We've got 37 years, Austina, and we bother BECAUSE of that. Gotta keep the spark in it! And I really want him to feel noticed - specifically - every day. People do different things to achieve different goals. For us, he loves it when I sweet talk him, so I make a point of it.

We spend every minute virtually every day together, so our thinking is that if we didn’t want to be together, we wouldn’t still be here. We both know how much we love each other, and do things for each other every day, so VD isn’t a big deal to us.

It‘s very sweet that your DH went to all the trouble of learning how to make such a lovely gift for you.

I'm enjoying these posts - very special to love and feel loved.

This was us on Valentine's Day LOL

We’re like this @Austina Nothing wrong with making it a big celebration but as I wrote before it’s every day that is special for me sharing it with my sweet and amazing DH ♥
Though it’s fun celebrating I prefer to do it off the holiday. When it’s not crazy busy if that makes sense.

Lol love it. That was us too later in the day.

It was our first Valentine's day as husband and wife- we got married in November. We had dinner planned but postponed, I took the day off work and spent all day with my mom in ICU. I brought her some roses though, and later on my husband cooked a steak dinner and brought it in containers for us to eat in the waiting room.

I did have the softest teddy bear waiting for me after we got home from the hospital. I'll take a photo of him later.

@Rubymal I’m so sorry and hope your mom is doing better. You will have so many more Valentine’s Day celebrations with your DH. Not to mention anniversaries birthdays and many other happy occasions to celebrate. Sending you hugs and your mom lots of well wishes.

I'm sorry about your mother @Rubymal and I hope she's ok soon. Really nice of your dh to do that. Must have been very comforting for you. I know it's stressful having an ill family member.

We do the same thing every year, the fresh market meal deal... for $50, it includes two filets, 1lb herb mash potatoes, and asparagus tips, a dozen roses and chocolate-dipped strawberries.

We get a bottle of wine and have a fire and I beat him at trivial pursuit. (Although one year he did win)

 

[bling_dream19]

We had delicious steak and bronzino dinner out! My hubby surprised me with a card yay! He never does a card lol so this was special.
And he gave me a dolphin heart necklace that represents our honeymoon in December swimming with dolphins!
I gifted him a 4mm plat band and now are matching! I have the 3mm plat band and love it.
I have 3 wedding bands and one he has 2 and we are thrilled to have matching bands! Hope everyone has a romantic and fun weekend!

Nothing, business as usual as I am on my own.

Nope. But I did make a lot of customers happy!

All this for 50 bucks???? Here the roses alone are that! Lucky you!

 

[partgypsy]

I am casually seeing a guy for, well it will be 3 years in May? but like my ex doesn't really celebrate holidays. So he didn't do anything other than wish me a happy Valentines via text. I have in the past gone overboard with Valentines day, so this time knew better : )
On my side I got my mom a card, sent e-cards to my sister and mil, and chocolates for my daughters. I did treat myself in when I got my kids that evening we got Chinese delivered!

Soxfan is that ice cream? So creative

Thank you, @missy . You are always so kind and thoughtful! <3

Thank you, @junebug17 . Yes, it was nice and he also brought coffee for us. I always try to find the silver lining, things could always be worse and when they are not, I am grateful.

As promised, Mr. Bear



It still seems surreal to be called someone's wife, but it sure is nice to get cards like this now

I know!! And they are still on the dining room table and have opened beautifully into a lovely pink.

My partner and I got each other small gifts and cards. My big gesture this year is actually for my gal pals. I rented out a very fancy hotel suite with a large en suite jacuzzi and shower room for a spa day and have a masseuse coming

(((HUGS))). You may be on your own for now but you are amazing on your own and never say never as none of us know what the future holds...but it is delicious anticipating the possibilities. And knowing no matter what you are A OK.
