The Valentine's Day Dilemma

This will be mine & Sean's third official Valentine's Day as a couple. (Wait a second, right? Or is it fourth? Regardless...) We have never actually celebrated Valentine's Day, mostly because I've given him an out. Don't get me wrong, I L.O.V.E. Valentine's Day. I love loving, I love being loved, I love the word love. I just don't like celebrating Valentine's Day other than spending time together.

And why have I always given him an out?

Because I hate buying Valentine's Day presents. Last night when Sean got home from work (at oh..... 11:30) he said he wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day this year by either exchanging gifts or going to a nice restaurant - my choice. Oh the dread. I know, I have a pretty pathetic decision to make. Don't get me wrong: I love buying things for people.  But how do you buy that ONE thing that says, "your love has changed my life, made me a better person, and allows me to look forward to a wondeful & fulfilling future." And there is no dinner nice enough to convey these feelings.

Perhaps I am making this too difficult.
