Just...my thoughts...

for us anyway. Did I mention that?

I decided that I don’t like the person I’ve become as it relates to this particular “holiday.” I’ve been dropping hints and practically begging for a nice Valentine’s Day. And that’s not me. I’ve always been the girl who goes out and gets what she wants and definitely doesn’t wait on someone else to do for her. And with Valentine’s Day, I’ve turned into the opposite…waiting around to see what a guy my husband will do/get for me. I don’t like that. 

Not to mention, my birthday was a couple weeks ago, and Babe made sure he worked hard enough to make sure I was able to enjoy myself…I don’t want to make it seem like I don’t appreciate that for a superficial holiday. 

Also, I’ve been asking guy friends what to get for AJ, and everyone (including AJ) keeps telling me don’t get him anything, and that Valentine’s Day is really just for females, and that really what do guys have to gain from it? ‘kay. Cool. I can kind of see that, but I was looking for gift exchanges…not to just be given things. 

Last, but certainly not least, last year, one of Babe’s good friends from the military was murdered on Valentine’s Day. It really was mind boggling for him, and….I didn’t know the guy but when I think of Valentine’s Day, I think of him, so I’m pretty sure Babe does too. 

Don’t get me wrong. I say do whatever you please when it comes to Valentine’s Day…enjoy it or ignore it, whatever makes you happy, but I decided I’ll cherish the random nice things that my husband does to show his love instead of waiting around for a day where he feels pressure to go above and beyond. 

My opinion….you don’t have to agree or like it. I’m not asking you to cancel your Valentine’s Day, I’m just saying what I decided for my family.
