What do engaged couples do for Valentine’s Day?


img_08511

Absolutely whatever they want! I’m not a huge fan of the day myself and some would say I down right hate it. However, I do enjoy spending time with the special lady in my life and try to make every day worthwhile.  This is what we did for Valentines Day:

  • Woke up at 2 a.m. to watch a movie because neither one of us could sleep.
  • After the movie ended, I played Flower until she fell asleep. (the music in the game is very calming)
  • With a few hours of sleep under our belts, we woke up and I proceeded to beat her in Scrabble….which never happens, so you know I’ll have to brag about this at least once a day for the rest of the week.
  • Being the silly people that we are, we attempted to go to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day: not recommended. It was around 5 p.m and the place demanded a reservation. Needless to say, we left that place.
  • I don’t think either of us was too upset about not being able to eat at a restaurant, so we went to the grocery store and grabbed ingredients for our own special romantic dinner. She prepared what you see in the picture above and I couldn’t have been happier.
  • After dinner, we were both fully stuffed and decided to lie on the couch. She quickly fell asleep as I watched the NBA All-Star festivities unfold. (the dunk contest was really weak by the way)

All in all, the day was great and we both had a great time. I’m grateful that I was able to find someone who loves the same things I do. Someone who doesn’t get caught up in the hype that is Valentine’s Day and knows that I aim to make her feel special everyday in my own unique way. Also, she bought me Killzone 2 for my gift. HOW AWESOME IS THAT??? I know guys, feel free to be jealous.

    Great post, Jermaine.

    P.S. Make sure you’re using a standard [English]Merriam Webster dictionary when playing Scrabble with Gracie. You probably already know this, but she will definitely do anything in order to win….whether that means using creative spellings of words or even words in another language. Just a warning. :)
