So, I will admit.. I had much more a reason to celebrate Valentine's day this year than other years. But I've always loved Valentine's day!
A friends of mine had her facebook status as the following and I think it's really beautiful. I think this is why I've always loved Valentine's Day..
"Valentine's Day is not about whether you are single or in a couple. It is about the LOVE in your life. It is a day where you should stop and remind those in your life that they are important and loved by you. Surprise those close to you and make sure they know! Everyone is loved. Some of us just don't know it. I sent my Mom flowers and chocolates today 'cause I wouldn't be who I am without her."
I always buy my mom flowers as well because I believe the same thing. I think that the above quote is very true. Valentine's Day is not just about being single or in a couple.. it is about EVERYONE in your life that you love. I put hearts on my best friends' facebook pages.. because I love them. :)
Some may say that I am only saying this because I am in a relationship and have someone special to spend Valentine's Day with.. but I have always felt this way about Valentine's Day. I have always loved handing out Valentines to my friends and wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! I love dressing in red and pink and feeling festive.. and eating heart shaped chocolates and those heart shaped candies that have the cute little messages on them. And even though there have been years where I haven't had that "special someone" or a date on Valentine's Day and even though seeing it sometimes does remind you that you are single.. I still enjoyed seeing how happy couples seem to be on that day. I've always enjoyed watching people celebrate their love for one another, whether it be a couple,a group of friends, or family members. And whether it's been staying in with a bunch of chick flicks with my friends or going out and getting drunk, we've always seemed to make it a good time. :)
With that said, Allan and I did have a fantastic weekend. We both had a very stressful week at school the week before so it was nice to be able to just relax. We didn't spend a lot of money.. which is always a plus. (working a the movie theatre does come in handy.)

Friday night we went to see "When In Rome".. which was AWEFUL by the way. Allan's sister Sarah picked it so we're blaming her, hahah! It was just all around bad; bad acting.. bad story line.. just bad. 
Sunday was Valentine's Day. We had a great morning just kinda hanging out and relaxing. We went to see the afternoon showing of the movie "Valentine's Day", which I LOVED. It definitely lived up to my expectations. Afterwards, Allan wanted to drive down to Bayfront Park. This is where Allan asked me to be his girlfriend back in the summer so it was kinda cute. But I was forced to freeze my ass off by the water, haha. But it was really pretty with all the snow. And for some reason there were like, a million geese in the water and there were swans! The swans were soo pretty. I tried to get good pictures but it was too dark. We then headed over to the grocery store and bought all the requirements to make some home-made pizza. When we got back to Allan's, we decided to exchange little presents. Allan wrote me a beautiful letter and got me a cute little pink photo album filled with pictures of the two of us. It was super cute. 
I made Allan an old-school card with doilees and stickers on it, hahah and nice picture of us smack in the middle. And then I just made up a cute little care basket for him. I also took the liberty of hiding heart-shaped post its with cute messages on them all over his room for him to find, haha. After that, we made our home made pizza, which was delicious by the way, and relaxed while watching "Pretty Woman" (one of my all time favourites, which Allan also hadn't seen!). Yes, I talked Allan into watching A LOT of chick flicks this weekend.. but I think secretly he liked at least half of them. ;) I just love staying up late and sleeping in. It's my favourite. :D It was such a beautiful weekend and I have Allan to thank for that. I love you so much baby. I hope everyone else had a great Valentine weekend as well!
Now I'm back to stressful school this week.. yes, I love it.. but it's driving me crazy right now! ;)
