Valentine's Day is certainly the subject of controversy, and while I've never placed too much emphasis on the day itself, I've also never turned down lovingly gifted chocolates! Since we're newly-weds it seems that all our free time is date time, which doesn't make Valentine's Day super pivotal to our romance or relationship, but it's certainly fun to celebrate our love and have a bonus date! (I personally hope every valentine's day feels like an unnecessary, but very welcome celebration!) I want to remember that one single day out of the year has no more importance than any other day, because every day is important. I want to remember that we should love each other every day, we should connect every day, and we should spend time alone together every day. (and maybe eat chocolate everyday too! :)
Of course any excuse is a good excuse to celebrate the blessing of our marriage, and love for each other! And celebrate we will!-- or did :)
To start the day off, I made heart-shaped breakfast buiscuits, with egg, bacon, and gouda...yum! (and super simple)
Later, my husband came home early, promptly giving me the best box of chocolates ever!! Void of the random fruit and cream-filled sticky things, this heart was full of my favorite: turtles!! (so in gratitude, I quoted the little kid from this video) Of course I ate them too quickly to take a picture, but I'm sure you can all understand. :)
Then we ate dinner at a cozy restaurant in town, La Madeline. (you must try the Chicken Friand)! Then at home we ate dessert and played board! It sure is fun being married to your best friend!
From my perspective, there's nothing wrong with having a day to be cheesy, and celebrate the grace we've been given to love each other.
There is one problem I see with all the red, glittery decorations-- If you're not careful they could end up in the washing machine :( which unfortunately did happen to us. (Sorry honey!)
