**Update: Let's hear your sweetest, most romantic, most endearing memory ever, not just a Valentine memory, but ever? Thanks to my gal pals who reminded me that most romantic, sweet, and endearing moments don't always occur on Valentines Day and they don't always involve a mate...sometimes the most precious gestures are from our children, friends, and even secret admirers. :o)
In honor of Valentines Day, I thought it would be kinda cool to hear your most endearing; sweetest; or most romantic memory, gift or gesture (this can refer to anyone; boyfriend, hubby, child, friend, etc..). Or you could even share what your ideal Valentines date, gift, etc... would consists of.
To kick it off, I'll share my most cherished, romantic memory. For those that know me well, you absolutely know what a hopeless romantic my hubby is. Ahahahaah...NOT, lol!!! My dear David, is possibly the least romantic fella on the planet, but ya just gotta love him. After nearly 21 years of marriage, I've come to the conclusion that romance is not his particular gifting, but he's just so darn good-lookin' that I've just gotta keep him, lol.
With that being said, and because the hub's is so romantically challenged, the following Valentines Day memory that I am about to share, will always be at the top of my most cherished list.
-Way back in the day...Valentines Day 1993 to be exact, David and I were on separate shifts (he was on 3rd, I was on 1st). Being the young, totally broke couple we were, we only had one vehicle between us. Now,normally this wasn't a problem; that is until David decided that he wanted to do something "special" for me for Valentines Day (or perhaps he saw a commercial which reminded him it was Valentines Day and he freaked out realizing he had nothing planned and knowing I would be home in just a few short hours, lol. I prefer to believe the first scenario..hehehe) So, I arrive home after slaving all day at the chocolate factory (aka..Hershey Chocolate..true story); I walk through the door and I am greeted by the most beautiful bouquet of flowers (sidenote: I am not a fan flowers; purchased flowers that is. They're gorgeous, but they die. (Sorry, Nikki; C & C Sensations, best florists around for those of you that love flowers!! lol) So, back to the story..what makes this memory so special to me, is that my romantically challenged, hubby chose to ride my girly 10-speed (huge deal, here!) the 3 miles to the florists, purchased the flowers, and carried them in one hand, all while navigating this bike back home. -To some this may seem cheesy and small, but to me, even to this day, it means the world.
So, what's yours?? Feel free to post here on the blog(just scroll to the bottom and hit the post comment link), or feel free to share under this post on our Facebook page.

Kimberly Smith Romance is pretty hard to find in my house too, so I treasure all the little things my hubby does; but one thing in particular does stand out....I wanted an awesome blue topaz ring that was surrounded by diamonds, I drooled over this ring everytime I saw it.Well, I ended up getting a rather tacky pair of hot pink, furry slippers...the kind you see ... See Moreon a lady who wears curlers in hair to the grocery store.I was grateful, and half heartedly, said, " Oh thank you,Honey!" He insisted I try them on, and as I put my foot in one of them, it hit a box...I pulled out and there was my ring! So now when I look at those hideous slippers, I smile and remember the only romantic thing my hubby as ever done!!!!!

Valentines Day was the first time that Matt told me that he loved me...
Rhonda Beyeler 22 years ago on Valentines Day, Matt proposed to me. We were hanging out at my house and we had fallen asleep on the couch watching tv. He woke me up at midnight and asked me to marry him. He even asked my parents permission before he asked me. We have been happily married for 20 years!
