Valentine's Day Fun
What are you doing for Valentines?
Do you exchange gifts?

What's a favorite memory?
Re: Valentine's Day Fun
I know it's a little early but I gotta start thinking about it.
What are you doing for Valentines? Not sure, DH has to work that day, so we will probably just go out that night.
Do you exchange gifts? In the past, yes, but I'm not sure about this year since our anniversary is March 8th.
If so What are you getting DH?? A card for sure, if we don't exchange gifts I will make him a strawberry cake.
What's a favorite memory? Our second Valentine's, he gave me diamond earrings...which was the first jewelry he bought for me. We went out to eat at an Italian restaurant and then for a walk by the river in Jacksonville, FL. It was one of the most romantic dates we have had
What are you doing for Valentines? Probably nothing, we don't usually celebrate it aside from saying Happy V-day to each other.
Do you exchange gifts? Nope
If so What are you getting DH?? N/A
What's a favorite memory? I've never really had a special Valentine , but once when I was in college a guy a had a class with brought me a small stuffed animal and some muffins. It was too sweet and I had no idea he thought of me.
What are you doing for Valentines? ugh, nothing b/c IL's will be in town that wknd.
Do you exchange gifts? no, I'm not a big fan of VD (ha ha) b/c I think he should love me and show it everyday!!!
If so What are you getting DH?? nada
What's a favorite memory? he sent me flowers to work the VDay b/f we got engaged and a note (we were doing the long distance thing) that said he wished he could be there w/me and hoped this was the last VDay we spend apart. Little did I know he had already ordered my ring and we were engaged in April!!!
I'm not sure what we plan on doing for Valentines. I'm hoping that since this is our last v-day before the baby we might go to ATL or Memphis, go to eat and spend the night in a hotel. But, we'll see.
We are trying to save money so we may just eat at a restaurant here in town.
We normally don't give each other gifts, just cards and then go to dinner.
I am not sure what we will do this year. I have that whole weekend off so I would like to go somewhere for a weekend getaway, but I dunno. We don't usually do gifts but we do write cards.
When we were doing the long distance thing I was all depressed because we weren't going to see each other that week. Well then when I got home from class and walked into my room. There were roses and candles everywhere and DH had set up a picnic in my room (my other roomate was doing a romantic dinner with her BF and the kitchen was taken) with a bottle of champagne. It was so sweet!!!!
What are you doing for Valentines? I don't really know yet...probably dinner somewhere...I have been wanting to try Conner's Steakhouse at Bridgestreet
Do you exchange gifts? no, but we do cards, and sometimes I get flowers
If so What are you getting DH?? n/a but I am going to make him his favorite cake
What's a favorite memory? our first V-day together he recreated our first date. I thought it was sweet.
Do you exchange gifts? Yes, but this year we bought tickets to the Eagles concert for our Vday gift. Gonna enjoy those Saturday!
If so What are you getting DH?? Eagles Tickets
What's a favorite memory? Our first Vday married, we went to eat at our favorite restaurant and it was super crowded. We left and went home to cook, all that we had was spagetti, so now every year we cook spagetti. We have heart shaped plates
What are you doing for Valentines? I am not sure!
Do you exchange gifts? Not formally, but we always get stuff
If so What are you getting DH?? I have NO idea! A lot of our "holidays" are right there together
What's a favorite memory? Since I've known DH, he has snuck out the night before Valentine's each year and decorated my office with all kinds of stuff! It is insane and I *always* forget and end up surprised. Not sure what is going to happen this year since it's on a Saturday!
this was 2007:
What are you doing for Valentines? Feb 14 I'll be working then going to our annual Wild About Chocolate! All the chocolate (from the best restaraunts in B'ham) you can eat w/ a live band, silent auction, coffee bar, and raffle to St Barts. all to benefit the Alabama Wildlife Center! Did I mention lots of chocolate?
Do you exchange gifts? Sometimes, nothing to fancy tho.
If so What are you getting DH?? I don't really plan on getting him anything and I hope he doesn't get me anything.
What's a favorite memory? All my Vdays have been pretty mild. Nothing sticks out.

What are you doing for Valentines? I'm not sure. We still hadn't done our anniversary dinner and our anniversary was 2 weeks ago. So I may see if DH wants to do a joint anniv/Valentine's dinner.

If so What are you getting DH?? n/a
What's a favorite memory? nothing really sticks out
