Daniel and I have never been into Valentine's day - not even when we were in the dating phase of life. Mostly we feel that {like most holidays} V-day is way too commercialized.
We believe that we can {and should} express our love daily and not save it up for a special day. We don't exchange cards or gifts {we don't do this for birthdays or Christmas either}. We feel that those things are more meaningful if they come at unexpected times during the year.
Today we "celebrated" by: Going to church. Daniel heading up to Troutman, NC to pick up a muffler for our Subaru while I went grocery shopping and cleaned the house. Running to The Original Pancake House for lunch {breakfast}. Spending the rest of the day working on the house. Watching the Olympics. The usual weekend stuff.
The most interesting {unconventional} gift we ever did agree to buy was rappelling gear. This was expensive (rope, harnesses, gloves, etc.), but provided us with a long-lasting hobby that we have enjoyed and shared with many friends and family members over the years. It is hard to believe that we met about 9 years ago and have been married for 7+.
