Daises from Andy @ 1 1/2 weeks - flowers from Tuxedo Flowers, Inc.

My only memories from Valentine’s Days past are of decorating coffee cans in elementary school, getting a silk flower & candy from my “boyfriend” in 6th grade and a trip to Duluth (complete with new car stereo) with Andy our first year together.

I never have made a big deal about Valentine’s Day.  It is the same day as my dad’s birthday- so it’s always been more about his birthday to me.  Hubby and I might do a small gift and card.  Sometimes he comes home with roses, but that’s only bc all of the brokers at his [Read On]
