So Valentine's Day is sort of a mixed bag of emotions for me....
It is my parents' anniversary, which is nice, although probably not as romantic as it might seem. My mother alluded that she knew that my dad would never forget their anniversary with a whole industry reminding him, weeks in advance, that the day was coming. Anyway, they celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary today! Wow!
As for me, two years ago, I got broken up with on my Valentine's Day weekend trip to see my boyfriend. So, that is not such a good memory but it was actually a catalyst for me to start blogging! My second ever post was a poll about the situation, as a few of you may remember.
I can count the times that I have gotten flowers on Valentines day on one hand, two fingers to be exact, and one time was from my parents! Until today! Now, let's hear it for 3 fingers! As you can see, I recieved a lovely bouquet of red, pink and white tulips this year and I have to admit, I am really pleased!
I know it seems a little stupid to get all wrapped up in a holiday that is largely the creation of commercialism but for me it is really about being appreciated. And, while it is truly better to feel appreciated throughout the entire year and not just on one day, especially when relationships are new, it is really nice when someone takes advantage of the opportunity to show that they care!

Beautiful! Tulips are my second favorite flower...after irises and before roses.
