Re: GTKY Valentine's Day



  • 1. Do you and your DH celebrate?
    We don't go out to dinner or anything but he usually gets me a card, flowers and Reese's peanut butter hearts.


    2. Do you have any plans if you do?
    Nope, probably will just hang out at home.


    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day?
    One year he was working a ton of hours. He must of got flowers on his way home from work at a red light. They were half dead and had cookies on sticks with weird sayings like, "Be Good" It's the thought that counts that's for sure.

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything?

    My mom and grandparents used to, now they buy candy or a stuffed animal for the kids. I buy the boys a card and some candy too.

    1. Do you and your DH celebrate? Yes we do. But I love any occasion to give gifts. I saw something on interest I was thinking about doing. You give a little gift with a note for the 12 days before valentines day. Like a pack of gum with a note saying" I chews you to be my valentine". I have most of the things here at the house. I only have to buy 2 things.


    2. Do you have any plans if you do?
    No, we stay home that day. Dinner out is always overpriced that night. And this year, it looks like we might have M's party that weekend.

    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day? Can't remember one that was special. Is that bad? ;)

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything? Our parents will get us cards.

    Yes, but we don't go crazy with gifts. I usually get him cologne. He usually sends flowers to work and then make dinner at home.

    2. Do you have any plans if you do?
    This year we're driving to CT for the weekend to visit friends...and spending time with our new lil Valentine ❤️

    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day?
    Our first Valentine's Day in 2010. After spending an awkward morning and lunch out with the ExWife and G we drove from Houston to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything?
    My mom will give us a gift and I'm guessing people will send Logan cards

  • 1. Do you and your DH celebrate? Not really. We always have a nice surf n turf dinner at home. I just got new Raybans for my birthday so I can guarentee there will be no Valentines gift. Cards are appriciated though.


    2. Do you have any plans if you do? Dinner


    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day? The first year DH and I were together he brought me this huge pink stuffed dog and flowers to our office (we worked together). We were tryin to keep things on the DL, but he blew that out of the water and our supervirors had to "have the talk" with us about keeping things professional. So no more sneaking off to make out in the file room. Ha! Yeah right, we were kids.

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything? I have had my Valentines card from MIL since the beginning of January. DS gets cards and small gifts from my IL's and parents.
  • 1. Do you and your DH celebrate? I guess we try, nothing crazy


    2. Do you have any plans if you do? Nothing yet.  We were going to go to the Jason Aldean Concert but man those tickets were gone FAST.  We haven't even thought about it yet.


    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day? Last year Jeff found a wine pairing restaurant to take me too.  It was really sweet since he doesn't like wine at.ALL.  He really tried to make it special since we were apart for Valentine's day the year before.

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything?  My dad (well, really my mom) always got us something small, perfume or something.  She would send me and my roomates candy and stuff at college, one year she knitted us all scarves. 

    We send cards to the kids.  I usually get my mom something small, like a charm for her bracelet.

  • 1. Do you and your DH celebrate?nope. I think its a silly hallmark holiday and so does Ben. just another excuse to spend money

    2. Do you have any plans if you do? n/a

    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day? uh negative, see above.

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything? nope
  • 1. Do you and your DH celebrate?  We sure do!

    2. Do you have any plans if you do?  We are going down to Baltimore to spend the night, go to the aquarium, and eat some pie (http://dangerouspiesbalt.com/).  It's sort of a tradition. :-)  But this year we're going the weekend before to avoid the Presidents' Day weekend crowd at the aquarium.

    3. What was your most memorable Valentine's Day?  They were all pretty great! (see below)

    4. Does anyone else in your family get you anything?  Just cards these days, but it was a REALLY big deal when I was younger.  My extended family kind of sucks and, therefore, Christmas and Thanksgiving were never that fantastic when I was little.  So my parents made Valentine's Day very important in our house so that we could celebrate a holiday together and actually enjoy it.  My dad always got us all flowers and candy and my sister and I usually got some other present, too (for example, I got the Princess Jasmine doll the year Aladdin came out).  We had a special breakfast and we would decorate.  It was fantastic, but set the bar pretty high for my future boyfriends, haha.  It took me a while to understand that what my parents did was a little weird.
