What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

I couldn't post before because it was a surprise and my boyfriend reads this site.

For Valentines Day we went to a really nice restaurant and lounge overlooking the city for dinner, exchanged gifts, and afterwards took a peaceful walk through our university's campus to a well known and prominently displayed fountain. We spend a lot of time at that fountain, hanging out there between classes, eating lunch together, and we were both thrown into the fountain on our 21st birthday's in accordance with university traditions.

The fountain is surrounded by bricks in the floor that people can buy and engrave for their graduation or other special event. The bricks stay there forever and are a permanent part of the university (some are 70+ years old already).

I secretly bought a brick and had it installed right at the spot we usually sit together at the fountain. We sat down at our usual spot like normal, and after a couple minutes of talking he suddenly stopped mid-sentence as he accidentally caught a glimpse of it. The look on his face when he noticed the brick was priceless - and now we get to sit together with our brick every time we hang out there for the rest of college. Even after we both graduate and leave, our brick and a part of us will be there forever, just like the memories we've made together in college will be with us forever. The engraving on the brick says:

(his name) and (my name)
Class of 2020
United by Everlasting Love

Oh my God! I love this! I hope Niagara really enjoys it.

Some people mention that this day is rough. I get that. It's the holidays that are rougher ... late November through January 1 is a long time. Valentine's Day is just one day. Looking back, I happened to be out of town and was exploring. The only evidence of Valentine's Day I saw was heart shaped doughnuts in gas station mini markets. I was tempted to buy one because it looked good and I'm always hungry.

I totally agree that this is one day that many people can or should just shrug off. Unattached People Matter. There's also plenty of them and that number is growing.
