Happy Valentine's Day boys and girls! Whether you have someone that holds your heart, you're single and hoping, or even believe this day is nothing more than a Hallmark holiday, I'm still going to tell you I love you all and hope you make the best of today. Spread the love a little. Buy that person's coffee behind you at the drive-thru. Leave a little candy on someone's desk to make them smile. Buy a box of ridiculous Valentine's and give them to family and friends. Ask that person you like to coffee or a movie. You never know what will happen. You could very well bring a little joy to someone's life when they need it the most.
I'm a romantic to the core and this will be my first Valentine's Day with my boyfriend...officially. I've told myself I won't leave him hints or even bring it up in conversation because I don't want to pressure him in the least. I don't need a bunch of dramatic declarations or even a fancy dinner. A flower would be nice, though. I love getting flowers. lol But in case he doesn't plan anything, I bought groceries and will make dinner for us. Nothing big, but I do want to show him I care, even if it's food. Haha! I guess my love for the day comes from the fact that my parents eloped on Valentine's day thirty years ago and have been together ever since. To me, that's the most romantic thing ever. Although, if I pulled something like that my mother would skin me alive. :D
Not that I want to elope, or get married at the moment, but it's still a nice story and totally cemented my love for this day. And it's just one glorified day among many to celebrate romance.
With that in mind, and as we all love to read about romance and finding true love, I'm doing an itty bitty giveaway in honor of Valentine's Day.
2 of you will win 1 of 2 $10 Amazon.com gift cards to purchase whatever sweet little read you want.
TO ENTER:
Leave your name, your email, and a comment for me in the comments section below.
The giveaway will end Saturday February 16 at midnight (Eastern) and I'll announce the winners before HEART FOR TRADE on Sunday February 17. Both winners will receive an email with their prize.
To all my little Valentines out there, stay sweet, big hugs, and I love you all!
XoXo ~Night

Better to not drop hints, since it would inevitably make him stress more and then it might turn into something like a couple's trip to IKEA. xD
ReplyDeleteSide note: I ADORE your blog and have a habit, that some would consider bad, of checking your blog constantly, even though I know when most things will be post. Haha.
Forever in love with your writing,

I'll make a shameless plug in that the 15th is my 22nd wedding anniversary! We tend to roll the two into one massive holiday that we then ignore other than possibly going out to dinner. We might get crazy this year. He may take a vacation day so we can sleep in! Woot! Madness at Mazuri's house XD
ReplyDeleteHave fun and you know how I love your stuff!

I really don't care about VDay. It's my anniversary in August that means the most to me. It's the day I lost my heart forever to the one man who could destroy it. :) Been together 7 years this year.

I hope your dinner goes great :)I haven't had a valentine yet but that still doesn't stop me from enjoying my favorite chocolate of all time..... Godiva of course! and my favorite romance movies under my warm blankets. It may not seem ideal but hey it works for me :p

I always have the luck of starting to date somebody right before a holiday that requires presents....so then I never know what to get them. Such was the case this year with Valentine's Day. But what are you going to do right?
ReplyDeleteAnywhos, I love your stories and read them religiously.

I don't have any plans this year for Valentine's Day. I'll probably just stay home and read and then take myself out for something to eat.

Hi Night! I hear you, I'm not really a whole "get me a massive teddy bear that's the size of my fridge" type of girl...but flowers would be nice...This is my first Vday with my boyfriend too :) We've been together almost a year, and we have no idea what to do for today, because I have rehearsal and research assistant crap to do, and he has a birthday next thursday...and I'm poor lol so I can't afford both holidays so close to each other! I need amazon lol
ReplyDeleteI love your stories, I have to admit, Knox and Issac was my absolute favorite, but I love the Shermin Heights boys, and I never get tired of Awni and Fallon! I can't wait for Cade to be published, and for J.R. Ward's Lover at Last to come out next month!

I got eggs and bacon before work and a Chic Fil A movie date. Better than our 1st ♥Day where I recieved a half eaten bag of milk chocolate kisses.... I asked for dark chocolate :-( ! Love all of your stuff, can't wait for "Heart for Trade". Your near death by chiuahua was hilarious, little dogs are trouble!!
