Ten years ago Ryan and I shared our first Valentine's Day. In our junior year of college, he arrived with roses and brought me to the best restaurant in the city After that date and the previous month of others, we were official, and have now been together for 10 years.
That was a great Valentine's Day. New love, getting dressed up, it was perfect. Unfortunately we've had a few not so great ones since then. There was the time I had my BriteSmile teeth whitening treatment after which I curled up in a ball and began crying until the Vicodin kicked in.
We've been across the country from each other or flying home to be back together. Did you know Southwest Airlines gives out free Cranberry & Vodkas on V-Day?
But my most favorite Valentine's Day tradition began three weeks before Ellie made her debut into the world. Our local city pizza place had attached a flyer on our latest box advertising a heart shaped pizza special on 2.14. Perfect! Ten days away from a due date, that was the perfect solution.
This year we will dine on heart shaped pizza again and it might be the best Valentine's Day yet.
What are your V-Day traditions? Is heart shaped pizza on your menu tonight or will be be getting fancy and going out?
Happy Valentine's Day! Especially to Grandma and Granddad, it's their anniversary and they are still happy together at 91!!!

I remember going to Montgomery Inn that night like it was yesterday! As great as the best ribs in the world would be, having a heart shaped pizza with my 3 ladies will be better.
