If there was a special guy in my life it would be the thoughtful things all year long that were special. Showing that you care, that you listen, that your partner is very important to you that is what counts. I especially like getting flowers for no reason, that is when they mean the most. One of the most romantic things that ever happened to me was a guy I dated that was a good friend long before we dated took me to dinner when it was raining. When we walked up to the restaurant there was a big mud puddle & he just picked me up carried me over it & did not put me down until we were inside. We arrived laughing & it was so sweet. We are still friends & he is a very special person. These days it is Valentines from the grandkids that make it special! :love2:

My guy after all these years has done the chocolates and flowers thing over the years.
I always get a Valentine’s Day Card. :love2:We have been married so long that I have to be careful and not buy a card I have already given.
But, my guy shows me all the time that he cares.
He takes care of the car maintenance. He builds me bird and squirrl feeders for the yard, because he knows I love the wildlife.:love2:
I remember him watching me in the laundry room and out of the blue asked if I wanted a cabinet in there. So he built me a beautiful birch veneer cabinet for my laundry room.:love2:
He makes everyday Valentines day from the shoulder rubs when I have a bad headache to bring me hot chocolate in the morning.:doggie:

My guy is the do things all through the year person. It can be anything from starting a bubble bath to taking a walk on the beach. He does buy the jewelry and other stuff but as much as I love those (and I do) I really love the little things he does so much.

Carolyn, your post reminded me that three years into our marriage, my husband moved to Georgia without me on Valentine’s Day. Funny how I blocked that out. That pretty much set the standard for the holiday. I moved up six months later…had to finish out the school year with my students.

I guess I am sort of in the minority. I know that hubby loves me (he doesn’t mind when I buy a TON of books or when I look scary). He just sort of needs a ‘kick in the pants’ as they say to remind him to bring me flowers or chocolates (he’s in busy season, so I can’t really complain, he’s super busy).

**Now to teach my daughters that you don’t have to SEE it to FEEL or KNOW it.**

I hadn’t thought of this, but it’s *so* important.

Hope you had a good time!

OK, I’m home from Mohegan Sun with friends. Will blog on it next week. My hubby isn’t romantic. I look for the signs of his love in gestures and the tone of his voice and I find it. I know he loves me b/c he comes home every night and we have such a great understanding of each other and it shows. Now to teach my daughters that you don’t have to SEE it to FEEL or KNOW it. :love2:

I’m with you Janelle! I love all the little thoughtful things that happen on regular days that remind me of why I love my hubby.

We ususally both take the day off from work on Valentine’s Day plus our birthdays and our anniversary to go to lunch today and just do errands together. We’ve been doing it for over 18 years now. I look forward to skipping out on a workday and enjoying his company for the day (well until our son comes home from school).

This year he has to travel for work. He leaves this Sunday and doesn’t come home until Friday night. I’ll miss him as I always do when he travels (which is fortunately not that often), but especially since this will be the first Valentine’s Day in 18 years we’ve spent apart. I know he’ll be thinking of me and he’ll call that night, but I’ll still miss him.

I guess this means I get to take my 17 year old son out for dinner (I’m sure he’ll just looooove that)!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Give someone you love a big hug and a kiss and tell ‘em you love them.
