So I never get into Valentine's Day. I do think it's a fun holiday for kids and a great excuse to eat chocolate (which I usually buy a day or two after Valentine's Day when it's on sale!). We have our anniversary to celebrate our relationship so we usually let that suffice.
However, this year I used Valentine's Day as an excuse for a Cracker Barrel meal, lol. Justin's always thought that Valentine's Day is a over-commercialized, greeting card holiday, and I tend to agree, however; I've been craving it for weeks, and I was desperate. We're trying to cut down the amount of meals we eat out in an attempt to save money, and we've been doing pretty well. Luckily he loves Cracker Barrel as much as do, so it wasn't too difficult. And the fact that he's shot me down for the past two weeks when I suggested it helped too :-) It was delicious as always! We went on Friday night and Justin was super pleased to see the meal of the day was fried fish so we both left full and happy. We browsed in the store too which is always a must. Justin informed me "I had it bad" when I found something for Tristan (my nephew who is due in June) a gift in Cracker Barrel!
I also decided that there's no time like the present to spoil my other Valentine, and Jackson is getting a new pink squeaky toy tomorrow. It'll be his first pink anything so we'll see what he thinks :-)
On a quick serious note, even though I really don't give two hoots about Valentine's Day, I am so thankful to have a spouse who loves and respects me. It seems like lately, I have been observing some bad martial situations filled with an utter lack of respect, and I am continuously counting my blessings for the wonderful marriage I have and for a spouse who is dedicated to our friendship and family.
My Valentines
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours,
