In high school I agreed with the multitude of other people who promoted for Single's Awareness Day on Facebook Feb. 14, but as I got engaged the weekend before Valentine's Day this year, I was a little more excited for the day than I was before. Ok. A lot more excited.
As both my fiance and I are starving college students, I knew we weren't going to do anything elaborate, but it ended up being a wonderful day. We cooked dinner together and then had a picnic in our living room, since it was dark by the time I got out of class. Then we gave each other our valentines. The beauty of it was neither of us got each other something extravagant or expensive, but got something simple that actually meant something to the other person.
The paper rose in the picture was brought to me my home teachers along with a granola bar. I don't know which was cuter, the fact that they took the time to make something like that, or the fact that when they delivered it they both had huge smiles on their faces and looked like two little boys who had picked their mom a flower.
In both cases I think it shows Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about winning someone's heart through an expensive gift, but showing them you care enough to think about them on that special day.
