Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day. I swear, Saint Valentine came up with this day because he was sitting in the middle of winter, and wanted an excuse to get some.

It's been so Hallmark'ed, you start seeing heart-shaped everything (and I do mean everything: notepads, soap, vases, and even sunglasses) by December 20th. I think it starts coming into stores earlier and earlier. But really, it's like every other holiday: commercialized to gain sales in retail outlets.

Here's the catch - I'm a 26 year old woman who's been with her true love for 5 years, and I'm a romantic. I know I'm not supposed to need a special day to tell Ryan how much I love him, how much I appreciate him, and how his love has changed me. However I just can't help myself!

  • I bought his card 2 weeks ago, because I found the PERFECT card
  • I've been googling "valentine's for my boyfriend" for about a week to see what's out there
  • I've been searching for the perfect recipe for supper on the 14th
  • I'm trying to come up with an original gift just to make his crooked smile I love so much come onto his face
  • I've considered a balloon-o-gram
  • I've also considered a gorilla-o-gram...seriously...a guy dressed in costume that delivers a gorilla sized hug and balloons...

When it comes down to it, I know Ryan will be thrilled with the card I got him, me telling him that he means everything to me, and that I have a heart overflowing with love for him. But in case you don't know Ryan Courville...

I LOVE YOU! XOXO

Plus, you may just get lucky... ;)
