This year we did celebrate it, I think 11 years of marriage means you need to find excuses to get romantic LOL! Anyway it was a heap of fun so I definately plan to go all out next year - thanks for the ideas. <abbr><em>Madeleine’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.mandm.org.nz/2009/02/top-mandm-10-nz-christian-blogs-january.html" rel="nofollow">Top MandM 10 NZ Christian Blogs January 08</a></abbr></em> We never used to bother with Valentines day, thought of it as commercialism gone mad.

What immediately stands out is that he wanted you to have the perfect red rose so he put it outside to keep it fresh! How many young men do that? It's sweet and oh so romantic! My husband proposed to me on Valentine's Day and 16 years later he always makes that day beyond special for me. Our daughter was born on the 06th of February so we have lots to celebrate around this time of year.

I have been Hooked On Houses since I was a little girl, and just this year bought a 176 year old house; it's my dream come true. I will be back to your blog over, and over, and over again! Many thanks for such an amazing resource. You are a role model for sure! Love the black rose story. How sweet. As I like to say to my husband, it's a good thing we think the men in our lives are cute! My husband brought me a single yellow rose on our first date -- all he could afford -- but he brought it to the neighbors by mistake! For Valentine's Day, it's filet mignon, asparagus, and some good aged Scotch in front of the parlor fireplace. One of the benefits of the empty nest!
