Poor Chris, right? EXACTLY! LOL. I don't like chocolate, i don't like flowers, teddy bears get thrown somewhere in the back of the closet, gifts will probably be lost, and overall, I would prefer he NOT "prove his love" on the same day other people in a relationship go and "prove" theirs.
I mean, don't get me wrong.... i appreciate the cards that he gives me :) I usually get 2 cards. 1 funny one, followed by one "serious" one that always has nice hand written letters inside. I LOVE those :)
I pretty much never buy him any thing for V day. I will hand write him a card or something. I can NEVER find a card that says exactly what I want to say to him, so i just write my own.
We have never really made a big deal over this holiday. I mean, we may have the first few months we were dating. I remember he gave me a singing bear, and made me this HUUUUGGGGEEEE card with the gigantic construction paper :) It was nice and sweet. At that time he didn't know that that was not my love language and it was really thoughtful of him :)
One v-day, he left a fake rose on my car (we lived in the same apartments) with a handwritten note about how roses are always beautiful but the beauty fades but how i'm beautiful and like the artificial flower's beautify will never fade, neither will mine :) SO SWEET, right! :) A few days later we got engaged, so it was just a set up ;0
I read on FB how someone's husband woke up super early and made her breakfast while her kids were still sleep and though I agree that was soooo sweet and thoughtful, all i could think about that would be an epic fail if that were my husband doing that! i HATE breakfast, and the thought of eating before 2 hours of me waking up would suck lol.
Other people talk about what gifts they received and blah blah... again, would be an epic fail.... gifts is NOT my love language and RARELY am i impressed with any gift i've ever received. Don't confuse that with me not appreciating gifts! I do appreciate them :) But u know the saying "it's the thought that counts" well, that's me! I'd rather someone be extrememly THOUGHTFUL and buy me a $4 gift that I would mean a lot (or make something that I could treasure), than putting no thought in to a $500 gift card... seriously! The best gift I've ever rec'd from Chris was when I was pregnant and had the worse fibroid pain EVER, he bought me a $20 gopher so i could pick up stuff without having to bend over! That gift was TREASURED and i used that thing until it broke! Oooohhh, one Christmas, Chris' parents bought me my FAVORITE childhood candy that you can't find in stores (Big Hunk) so they had to order it from somewhere. Talk about a gift that ROCKS :)
Different strokes for different folks so THIS valentine's day, i hope you celebrate in what works for YOU and YOUR RELATIONSHIP! What may be the sweetest and most romantic thing EVER to one couple, may be the most BORING and BLAND think ever to another couple. Whatever it be, have fun this valentine's day, and to my married friends, have a fun Valentine's night :)
