I wish we would have just stuck to keeping Valentine's Day low key. I know he tries and I love him so much, but with my luck, something always is bound to go wrong (wow, I'm pessimistic).
He took me to a nice little itlian restaurant Friday night. It was supposed to be our Valentine's day celebration because I had a night class on Wednesday. He gave me a gift certificate to a spa so I can get a massage. It was so thoughtful, but I don't like the fact that he spent so much and I gave him a mixed CD and a card. My dinner was undercooked so I filled up on the wine we brought and got pretty buzzed which I tried to absorb with instant oatmeal when we got home.
Saturday night,my Mom got us a room at a bed and breakfast in Sturgeon Bay. I felt like the cliche Chicagoans, vacationing in Door County... but anyways, it was nice of her to do. I felt a little awkward accepting a random gift like that from my Mom. Especially after she offered her condo time share for this year to us. I know she means well, but it's hard for me to accept gifts like that while I'm trying so desperately to be independant. And I think Dave felt uncomfortable about it too. She likes him a lot and likes that he's "taking care of me", but I wonder if she would offer these things to me if I were still single.
Anyway, the B&B was nice- it was small, but it had a fireplace so I liked that. All in all it was a nice weekend, so I'm not really sure why I'm trying to ruin it by complaining so much.
