Valentine Do-Over

My family has a really fun Valentine's Day tradition. It started when the kids were little, babysitters were hard to come by so we started our own family valentine dinner. We had a candle light dinner with spaghetti, garlic bread and salad. Also, sparkling cider with a fancy table setting with a red table cloth. The kids called it "dinner with fire". Over the years, we have had so much fun celebrating as a "fam" and on the weekend, Brent and I try to go out together.

This year we took a last minute trip to St. George for baseball so we weren't home to have our "fire dinner". So, I am going to pretend that NEXT Saturday is Valentines Day and do it then. It's all good, right?

I heard a man once describe Valentines Day in kind of a sad way. He said, "If you think about it, men have no where to go but down on Valentines Day. There's so much pressure to do something nice that when you do, you don't gain any ground....you just did what was expected. If you mess up, obviously you lose ground with your wife. It's a no-win situation." I think that's sad. I hope it's not like that for most people. I love Brent and I hope to show him every day, especially on the day designated for an outward show of affection.

So, if you were disappointed with V-day this year....have a do-over. It's never too late to let the most important person in your life know how much they mean to you!
