Any romantics out there with an inspired idea for your sweetie?

Nothing tomorrow that I know of. I gave BF is gift on Friday. I gave him this thing called a carved orange. It's like a round, wooden box, hand carved... and I found a little glass, howling squirrel that I put it in. (He collects howling critters)
Today, he drove up and gave me a dozen roses, a teddy bear and a box of chocolates.
We tend to do our holidays on weekends, it's just easier that way.

Never give up ope Chris! I know last year my hubby gave me a card and a pair of earrings that were real gold  After 27 years of nothing it was a shock and then on top of that he got my mother something nice too. Boy was I shocked, I felt bad though because I didn't get him anything.  But I made up for it  |

After 27 years of marriage, we don't do that anymore. I had to laugh at our farrier, because he's recently remarried (in the last five years) and he's getting his bride another ring. I thought, if I got a ring every Valentine's Day, I'd be looong out of fingers on which to wear them.  Nah, hubby's getting a really big bonus March 1, so I told hubby that's mine. My reward for putting up with him. And the funny thing is, he'll go along with it. Won't even say boo. We have some really romantic things we need to do (like repair our driveway, build a run-in shed, etc.), but that's okay. There's a new saddle in there, too, and maybe a harness for the pony. My gift to him is to allow him to live with me for another year, provided he behaves. To me, pushing 28 years, those are plenty romantic gestures.  |

Pffft. Fiance is working 6:30am-3pm and I work 12:30pm-6pm. I won't get home until 6:45-7pm or so and I will be tired and want to sit there and do nothing. Wheeeeeeee. I'm enthused. LOL Edit: I just remembered, I do plan on taking my fiance to a nice restaurant in San Antonio - it's called The Vineyards Restaurant. Looks like a cozy little place to have a nice dinner - www.thevineyards.org/. Plus, then I'll have it scouted out for when we have the fiance's dad's dinner/birthday party on May 26th. ;D |

The Outside Inn.
It's a VERY nice restaurant.
As for valentine’s gift:
I give her my Love, Honor, Dedication, and Support 24/7.

Ted gave me a certificate for a Day Spa - the works. Not something I would ever do for myself, but he thinks I'll like it. He really spoils me every day, so I can't complain. 25 years (nearly 26) and going strong! Plus he said he'd have the horses saddled and ready for me this evening when I get home ;D
I'll be making him a nice dinner - stuffed pork chops, wild rice, brocolli with cheese sauce and lemon raspberry mousse for dessert.
