V-day has never had any significance for me. I've always hated it, particularly when I was single. So when I got married I vowed not to be a hypocrite and celebrate the day, besides everything's so overpriced today. My H and I might have exchanged a card and gone out to dinner, flowers in the beginning but that's really it. I can't even remember what we did last year or if we even exchanged cards. Actually one of my favorite V-day gifts I ever got was from my dad. One year he sent me a heart-shaped pizza to work.
I've also made a conscious decision to drop the rope with my H. In my mind it's a little like those trust exercises they make you do in gym class. You fall backward and someone else catches you. So I'm going to trust that the end result will be positive and I'm diving head first into the unknown knowing that I will be kept safe.
