Long before our Sweetheart Baby was born, Dwayne and I have celebrated Valentine’s Day on the 13th. At first, it was because it was convenient when we lived an hour away from each other, then it was a pragmatic way of being romantic.


This year, the pandemic changed our plans more than the massive snowfall. We had already ordered a special dinner from a local “boutique” restaurant and Dwayne’s car braved the roads to pick it up. The kids and I set up our table and prepared dinner for them to eat downstairs with a movie, which is our favorite type of date night.


I enjoy life with this man so much!
