This is just a little test post with a picture that I took yesterday. :) My fiancé and I had agreed not to get each other anything for Valentines Day but when I went upstairs to my computer room there was a vase containing 12 red roses and a rather comical card. We have a running joke about greetings designed in the style of a local supermarket's budget merchandise. When I was completing my finals at university my boyfriend deposited a budget motivational poster on my bedroom wall. It basically says 'please be motivated' and has some very recognisable branding. That poster is still on my wall. My Valentines card is very similar. It basically has the same branding and says 'sincerity guaranteed' and 'best before shortly after postmark'. He's such a sweetheart and, whilst these in-jokes might seem bizarre to a casual observer, it made me laugh. We didn't really do anything remarkable to celebrate yesterday but that was the beauty of it. We don't need to shower each other with hugs, chocolate, flowers and sweet nothings on Valentines Day because we endeavour to show each other that we love and respect one another every single day.
