My favorite Valentine's Day memory is my first real date with my now boyfriend - and I didn't even think it was a date in the beginning! But by the end, it was sure a special date! A walk, dinner and a movie was never so exciting! This February 14th will be our six year anniversary together and I hope it will become my new favorite Valentine's Day memory.

My favorite Valentine's day memory was when my husband and I were dating and trying not to marry each other. On Valentine's day, our conversation went from if we ended up getting married to when we ended up getting married.

I am a follower of your blog. My favorite Valentines Day was when I was pregnant with my first child and my husband and I were living with my parents. We tried to go to Olive Garden but there was a 2 hour wait. We ended up getting our food to go and went back and ate and played Skipbo at my parents house.

My best memory is when my late husband was out of work and I knew that valentine's day would not be celebrated. I came home and he spent the day hauling gravel and made me a heart shaped parking pad.

I loved v-day as a kid and making those cool "mail boxes" with construction paper, and trying to read too much into the valentine's I'd get from the boys I'd have a crush on! ;)
I also met my hubby around v-day!
Last year my sweetheart and I went shopping and just spent the (relaxed) day together. That night, we got a hotel room and spent time away from home. We didn't dress up and go out really fancy, we went to a casual chain restaurant and enjoyed our time with each other. I hope we can do the same this year!

Sheesh, I'm having the hardest time coming up with a great Valentine's Day memory. Neither my husband or myself are very romantic... I guess I love the golf clubs he gave me last year, but only because it meant he wanted to spend even more time with me. :)

2004 Valentines Day. I just moved to Hawaii and my roommates and I thought it would be fun to make cookies and deliver them to different people. We Started making cookies around 8 pm and didn't get done delivering the cookies until 12:00 am. I had other wonderful Valentine's Day but that sure was a fun one and I don't think any of my roommates will forget it.

I've never cared much for Valentine's Day (a mishap a few years ago is the reason behind that)
But THIS year will be my favorite V-Day, by far.
In trying to work on throwing excitement back into my marriage, I'm using some of your ideas along with some of my own. I'm making your advent calendar, I bought Reese's to carve and put in hubby's lunch, and I've got cute V-Day window clings I'll put all over hubby's car on the 14th! Just to name a couple. I'm determined to make this the best Valentine's Day ever :)
I follow your blog: my fondest memory is every year in my family we make heart sugar cookies. I love it!! Also when I was 7 we got GIANT heart sugar cookies and they were so YUMMY!!

I'm a follower. My favorite memory of valentine's day was my first date with my husband. He happened to have the day of work so, he asked me on a date. He showed up early to my house with a canation which happens to be my favorite flower. He had planned everything and I had no clue what we wre going to do. He drove us to the beach ad in his trunk he had a frisbee and a ball. We played frisbee and kick ball on the beach until it got dark. Then we sat on a rock and watch the tide come in and talked. We walked around until we were hungry and then we found a restaurant that was open. When he drove me home we didn't want to say good bye yet so he stayed and we watched movie. That date was the first of many and still counting.

Too cute!! I'm a follower.
Sounds goofy but my husband showed up one year with 2doz. roses. 1. I thought it was overkill and 2. I couldn't believe he would have spent that much. Turns out he picked them up at our local Trader Joes and it was like 2doz/$14.99 on Valentine's Day which is just CRAZY! I was so happy with him. :)

To make up for my husband being out of town working on V-Day last year, I got to spend all day with my super sweet kiddos playing and making sugar cookies!
Valentine's Day is always extra special to us, because it's the anniversary of our first date! One of my favorite memories though, was when we put our daughter to bed and then had our own private dance in the living room. We even decorated with crete paper and red and pink balloons, and bought snacks, and just danced to the songs on the radio. So fun!

My favorite Valentines Day is when My husband and I were barely dating and we walked in the rain and he gave me this giant heart candy that said "You're Awesome" on it. Which the word awesome was an inside joke to us. When I got home i was soaked because of the rain.

My favorite valentine's day was when I cut out hundreds of red, white, and pink hearts out of construction paper and pasted them all over our apartment. We were "Heart Attacked." It was fun to see how surprised my husband was when he woke up and saw it all.

My favorite valentine's memory is probably when my first boyfriend got me Winnie-the-Pooh socks. At the time I was crushed thinking it was such a lame gift, but now its pretty funny.
Best Valentine's was in 2002 when the olympics were here in my hometown...spent the night at the olympic plaza rockin' out to Sheryl Crow with some of my favorite people. Good times!

My favorite valentine's memory... hmm... well, I think it's going to have to be whatever happens this year, because I haven't had the best V-days in the past.
My plan is to hang out with my friend Jen, who split with her husband this past year, and cook dinner together and watch a girly movie together. I'm also packaging up my boyfriend's Valentine's day deployment care package right now with cookies, a psp game, a photo of the two of us, a cd of songs, his snack requests and some cleaning cloths that he requested.
My fav V-Day memory is my first one with my husband... we didn't do anything fancy, just stayed in and made dinner together and watched a cute movie. But it was my first one married, and my last one before I had our son :)

Ok now for my favorite Valentines memory. It goes back 10 years, to my first date with my husband. We met at my work, and started talking. He finally asked me out for dinner and a movie, we made it a date. Well (I didn't forget) he must not have realized it was valentines day that it was scheduled for. So we went to dinner, had a little bit of a wait, but it was nice to sit and talk. We went to the movie and then home. It was so nice, comfortable and absolutely perfect! I went to work the next day and told everyone he was the man I knew I was going to marry. Went home to find flowers on my doorstep, telling me thank you for dinner. It was so sweet. And 10 years later, we're still together, getting ready to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in May.

My favorite Valentine's Day memory is my first one with my husband. Valentine's is so much better when you're not single! We didn't do anything fancy, he made me a nice dinner then we watched a cute movie. Simple, but was my first one married, and little did we know it was the last one just the two of us.

I am a follower. My favorite Valentine's Day memory is when my husband (then boyfriend), pulled out a jewelry box and saw the excited look on my face. There were earrings in the box, but he could tell I thought it was an engagement ring. He got all flustered and quickly said it was earrings so I wouldn't get too excited. It's a good memory because we were both embarrassed and laughed about it!

One valentines morning when we were young and poor, my hubby put tiny yellow post it notes all over the house. Each one was a clue that led to the others. The treasure at the end was a booklet of post-its made out like coupons for things like a back rub, not having to make dinner, a night out by myself, a date night, etc. It was sweet because my husband is not that creative. I still have some of those coupons-should cash them in.He forgot an expiration date ; )

One of my favorite Valentine's memories is when my hubby and I had only been married for 2 months. We were broke, so we had no expensive plans. When I got home from school, my sweetheart had decorated our apartment with homemade flowers, and cards. It was super cute. I loved it!

Love your site, check it daily, fan on FB (does that mean I'm a follower? hope so...)think I found your blog from LittleNannyGoat, or LittleBirdieSecrets.
My most memorable V-day was when I bought my husband (then bf) a pair of pink "kissing fish" for his fish tank. I went over to his house & presented them to him only for him to point out that his fish tank was no longer up and had broken. We were in a hurry to leave for the beach for a dinner reservation (we're in Salem, OR) and so we stopped at a local pond and *plunk* dropped them in. ;) We like to think there's a huge population of kissing fish in there now, lol!
