Valentine's Day?
what's everyone doing for valentine's day this year? gifts? dinner plans/menus?
i can't believe its February already!
Re: Valentine's Day?
feb 14th is also chinese new year, so i think i'll cook us up a chinese feast
we might invite over some friends to join us. i'm not all that big on v-day. i want to do some sort of gift for DH but it'll be homemade... just haven't thought of what yet.
Sometimes I pin stuff
I have no idea what we're doing. Probably nothing though. I hate crowds for resturants and since I can't drink a winery is out
.
I don't know. We're just lost this year.
Yay! Since DH and I started dating, our little tradition is getting a half baked heart shaped deep dish pizza from Mangia, baking it at home, and sharing a bottle of wine. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to start a tradition!!
.
We're not much for the high prices and poor service on valentine's day - so we like doing the homebody thing
what I would *love* to do and reality are two very different things.
We'll probably end up hanging out at home, avoiding the crowds and the expense. I'm sure we'll do cards and small gifts to eachother. I know we don't "need" gifts - but it's too hard to resist. I love buying things for DH. I have a feeling we'll order a pizza and hang out on the couch... cuddling. awwwwww....
"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
Nice!
No plans here. I am OOT for work until late on the 13th, so DH can't count on me for much planning.
We usually make a nice dinner at home. Last year was tillapia with citrus cream sauce and veggies from the farmer's market. We just hang out and have a nice night in.
I don't sign up for the gift portion bc we have birthdays, anniversaries, etc. but I do think it's a nice reminder to appreciate what we have in our marriage.
Saccones is the BEST pizza in Austin! We order it WAY more than we should. I lived in Jersey for a few years and my family is from NY state and it is so hard to find something like back East.

That sounds awesome. I wish there was a Mangia in DFW.
We're probably going to do the home thing also. I kinda want to order PF Changs or something to take home. I do have a GC to one of my favorite fancy restaurants but there's no way I'm going to deal with the crowds/parking/etc on that day so we'll probably just save it for another time.

Stick, little one, stick! EDD October 15, 2012
Nothing really this year. Every few years we celebrate it just because, but I think we've done that twice and this will be our 8th Valentine's Day together.
We've just recovered from Christmas, then our wedding anniversary is January 25, our first anniversary is February 6, and my birthday is February 23 (not to mention all the family birthdays in January/February). I'd much rather celebrate our wedding or my birthday!
So Valentine's Day is probably just going to get a home cooked meal and some alone time. Since Fly mentioned it's the Chinese New Year, maybe we'll do Chinese since it's DH's favorite! I have no idea how to cook Chinese food, though ...
That sounds like an awesome Valentines! I can't believe you're so close!

Haha.. We have so many friends born in Feb, it's ridiculous. It's bday season in our family also. Friday is MIL bday, Saturday is my bday, Sunday is DH's bff's bday,and if all goes as planned with the c-section we have scheduled, our DD will be born the day after Vday.
DH and I decided at the very last minute that we're going to New Orleans after the Saints won playoffs 2 weeks ago. Neither of us have been to NO during Mardi Gras...and although it might be a tad bit crowded and crazy (not the least bit romantic)...we're still very excited!
I'm sure we'll find things to do (outside of the festivities) to keep the romance alive on V-day.
