Happy Valentine's Day

To the men in my life Brian, Braeden, Baby Finn, my Dad, brother and Grandpa.

According to Wikipedia, Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The day was originally a pagan festival that was renamed after two Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

This year people will be spending less on Valentine's Day. I know my brother and his girlfriend are hitting the Italian market and then making dinner for themselves at home. Brian and I will probably be doing something similar, except we'll be including Braeden this year since he's home with us and hasn't been feeling very well.

Be a thrifty Valentine this year!
