A Day of Love

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. I am sure this sounds pretty odd coming from a woman :), but I guess it's the cynical side of me coming out! Not that I don't love cards, gifts, saying "I love you", but what I love more is when these things come randomly or out of the blue. Over the past 10 years of Val and I being together, he has really gotten the hang of this! When we were dating he would "pop" up at my job with a single rose just to say hi, and even now he will send me random emails telling me how much he cares for me. Awww...what a great guy!

Now that we have Cameron, we try to just get him a small gift to let him know we love him too, and then as a couple, we just use this day just to spend extra time together. I suppose that's what we will try to focus on, a day all about spending time with each other, instead of making it all about cards, flowers, or gifts. So maybe I should say that I'm not a fan of the "commercial" side of the day, although Cameron is....he just got a brand new video! (Please ignore the cheesy smile!)
