I've never personally been a fan of Valentine's Day but this year I actually had someone to spend it with so naturally, I decided to enjoy the holiday for the first time ;) I don't know if it was because I had a Valentine this year, but the cliché negative posts about the holiday really started to irritate me. People posting countless Facebook updates saying "Single Awareness Day!!!!" or "I have two valentines this year: Ben AND Jerry!!" SHUT UP. Valentine's Day is really just a holiday that card companies made up so they could make more money. Although it's fun to give and get gifts, it's completely commercialized and it shouldn't matter in the least if you're single or not. You're single every other day of the year, so it's just another normal day for you and if you really feel that bad about not having flowers or chocolate, go out and buy some for yourself! I'm really not that bitter but when people are annoying, I feel like calling them out on it.
I made Mike a candy love letter, which you may have seen on Pinterest, but I got the idea a while ago when my mom received one from one of her coworkers. It's just a display board with a love letter on it but you substitute words for actual candy, and glue or tape the package onto the board. It's a really cute and unique idea so I went for it. I also got him a lady(love)bug pillow pet. Originally I got the bee and wrote "Bee Mine?" with red fabric paint but I accidentally set something on top of it while it was still drying and it got messed up so I went out and bought the ladybug instead. The pictures to the right are what he got me :))
