Happy Valentine's!

Here at the Gage household we believe in celebrating holidays when they are convenient.

It all goes back to our 6 month anniversary. {I know, I know, it can't be an anniversary if it hasn't been a year. High school logic unfortunately does not follow root words.}

It is April 24, 2001. Picture 16-year-old Courtney, so excited because she and her love have been dating for six whole months. {If you don't remember, that was a big deal in high school.} "I wonder what he will give you," her friends squealed at her.

Long story short, sweet little 16-year-old Courtney got nothing. Not even a "Happy Anniversary!"

Luckily, 17-year-old (and two days) Austin had some lovely girlfriends who realized his major faux pas.

Due to their influence, Austin showed up on Courtney's doorstep on May 24th, 2001 with flowers, a big smile, and a card that said, "There are 14 months on my calendar."

Fast forward to Valentine's Day this year. Austin had watch (quelle surprise), so I spent my Valentine's Day on the couch, cuddled with the dog, catching up on reading. It was delicious.

Today was our Valentine's. Austin had off so he came and took me to lunch after making all the girls swoon by bringing me these:

Hope your day was great!
