Aw, Valentines Day. Such a consumeristic holiday. But let's just get down to the nitty gritty.
I went to a Christian college, and in order to make every girl feel good about themselves, we created 2 categories: Daters, and Waiters. I'm sure these are pretty self-explanatory, but daters were always with a guy, trying to whittle them all down until they found the perfect one. Waiters watched from afar; learned from other people's mistakes. It wasn't that they couldn't date, it was that they just hadn't found the one.
I, my friends, was a Waiter. To those of you that know me, (ahem, and my independent, stubborn tendencies, ahem...excuse me), this is probably not a surprise. I dated a little here and there, but could always tell very quickly when there was no potential. Which brings us back to Valentines Day.
Last year, Scott was my first Valentine EVER.
Which means this year, he's my second. So even though I know it's so cliche, the novelty has not yet worn off. I WANT to do something special and have a day filled with hearts and the colors pink and red. I'm so thrilled to have a Valentine - I can't let the holiday pass me over!!
So last year, we went here.
And feasted on things like this:
But this year, we want to do something different. We eat really well, and while we love eating, we don't necessarily want to just have dinner at a restaurant. Our plan as of now is to make dinner at home, light some candles, and eat at the table instead of on the couch. But we're open to ideas.
So....what do you think? What are you doing for Valentines Day? Do you think it's overrated?
