He told me.. "I'd be happy to do any of those things for you any other day"..and he does. I feel bad for guys on valentines day, the holiday is truly all about pleasing us needy women, and why? Because the world taught us to expect the greatest things from men on this specific day. This also gives guys an excuse on not having to do anything else for the rest of the year.
I also feel bad for people who are single, this day fills people with the need to have someone, so most single people spend the day upset and avoiding anything to do with love. ( if thats not the case for you and you are cool with being by yourself , props! that's how it should be.)
Valentiens day is such a silly concept when you think about it. Love should be celebrated year long, the love we have for our friends, and family, included. Valentines day is for the lazy ones.
Anyways, my husband decided that we won't celebrate valentines day. So we celebrated our love.
We had a perfect, but usual sunday accompanied by good friends. We started the day with church, where I was once again reminded of Christ's love for me. And then went to fill our physical bodies with food.
We then headed to downtown Denver to explore it's greatness, drink coffee, and enjoy the weather.
After our adventures we headed home, said goodbye to our friends and spent the rest of the night making our own homemade pizza, chocolate covered strawberris, and a failed attempt at cake pops. We stuffed ourselves while reminiscing on how thankful we are for each other, for how great our first year of marriage is going, and how blessed we are to have each other. To finish the night we cuddled while watching movies.
We did nothing out of the ordinary that night, but it was the best date I've ever had. In the comfort of our home we were able to have an amazing stress free day. Celebrating love is fun, romantic, and special. Celebrating valentines day is a trend.
I'm thankful that Andrey doesn't like the idea of valentines day, i think we set good traditions for days like these. Its okay to do things differently, not like everyone else, and it's okay not to do anything at all. Because when you're in love.. the littlest things are special, and doing nothing at all with someone you love could turn out to be the best thing you've ever done.
