The end of last week, Mike did something cute. He came home from work and says "Hey, since we're not really celebrating Valentine's, I got you this just because." He then pulls out this really cute thing from his bag. He bought it at the florist at Stop and Shop. It's this planter with ivy in it that has a big ceramic heart that says "I love you" and a really cute golden retriever puppy with a rose in its mouth on top. Really cheesy, but I love it.
Since our first Valentine's together, Mike and I haven't done anything special. The first year, it was a chance to be all cute since we were still new, so we went out to dinner. Since then, we just spend the day together. Same thing this year. No exchange of gifts or fancy dinners or nights out, he's just going to come over after class. We'll probably watch Arrested Development. But that's the way I want it, so I'm happy about it. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
