Valentine's Day memories

Dinner and slow dancing make things memorable
The first Valentine's Day I had with my boyfriend was the best Valentine's Day by far! It was our senior year in high school and he started the day by giving me a dozen pink roses. Later, I went out with my mom.
She wanted to go shopping, so we did, and I ended up finding a nice dinner dress. When we arrived at home, there was a glow coming from within. I peeked inside and I could see the candles on the ground. When I went in, there were red rose petals and tea-light candles leading into the other room. A bit nervous, I went cautiously around the corner where he stood dressed-up and about to take a picture of me. The dining room was lined with candles and a romantic dinner was prepared with my favorite sparkling juice (red grape). I continued to follow the path of petals.
It went down the hall and into my room where a white-lace pillow surrounded by candles sat on my glass table. In the middle of the pillow was a beautiful heart-shaped diamond necklace. My mom helped me get ready as I slipped on the dinner dress I had just bought. I let him put on the necklace before sitting down to eat. After dinner, he cleaned everything up and then asked me to dance to the music playing in the background. We slow-danced for a while. Then he went over to the stereo, pulled out a CD case, labeled "Valentine's Day '03: The Soundtrack" and gave it to me. In the corner our names were printed. The night ended sweetly as we curled up on the couch cuddling each other.

First valentine
After many years of wondering what it would be like to be with someone you love over Valentine's day I finally got the opportunity. My boyfriend surprised me last year with coming down unexpectedly and driving me up to Chicago to spend time with him. What I didn't know was that when he said he had to stop and run an errand, that errand was pulling up to the Sybaris pool suites and having a red rose with a beautiful card with a red petals shaped in the form of a heart. All in all, it was a great experience and we spent the entire evening swimming in the pool/ waterfall and having a great person who loved me right there to enjoy it!
