The 5th Valentine

Rob and I have been really sick since Friday (finally feeling better today, though!), so we spent most of Valentine's Day taking Tylenol Severe Cold and Flu and working on homework. But Rob still made our traditional heart-shaped V-Day pizza and it was lovely.

We put an old candle stick holder and candle on a box (our coffee table), turned on some Debussy and had a romantic, candle-lit dinner from the comfort of our couch. We remembered that this was our fifth Valentine's Day together.

I guess without the cards, wine, gifts and expensive dinner, I realized that the 14th can be about sharing a few nice hours with someone you love, no matter how fancy it is (or isn't). Hope you had a great day, too!
