Valentines Day

It's valentines day and my 7 week anniversary of healthy life choices.
I woke up this morning realizing it was 22 years ago that Tom proposed (on bended knee with knee pads still on from volleyball) and 21 years ago I was pregnant with our first child. We had a blizzard (2/14/1990) and I had to leave the mustang in funeral home parking lot and take the train home where my hubby had a bubble bath waiting for me where I relaxed and warmed up while he made a lobster dinner. Good times. Good times.
Those were our first 2 Valentines together. Things changed quite a bit since then. Twenty years of staying home and having a simple meal, hanging out with the kids, and not doing much of anything. We just don't enjoy going to a super crowded restaurant or paying a lot for something we can have at home. We would rather spend 1/3 of the money on steak, potatoes and a fresh veggie at the store and make it ourselves (when I say make it ourselves, I mean Tom).
It use to bother me that we don't celebrate valentines day, our anniversary or my birthday with cards or gifts but I have realized that he spoils me most of the other 362 days a year. Everyday that he makes dinner or loads/unloads the dishwasher is another day of him showing his love for me.
We don't need no stinkin holiday to tell each other how we feel. We show each other every day by the little things that we do and say (and sometimes but why we do not say and do).
How about you. How did you spend valentines day?
