I know, I know...Valentine's is Over

If you have not been able to tell, I really love Valentine's Day. I think it is because I never seemed to have a boyfriend on Valentine's Day when I was younger. So since Cory and I have been together, I try to put forth a lot of effort to make Valentine's Day special each year. Also, our Anniversary is right smack in the middle of Summer, and of the 7 1/2 years we've been married, about 5 of those anniversaries have been spent at Summer Camp. Make a note of that if you plan on marrying a student minister. Valentine's is kind of a celebration in place of our anniversary, I guess.

Anyway, I didn't go ALL OUT this year, but I did make Cory and Landry heart-shaped toast for breakfast. And I did grab an idea from this website, that I thought you might like. The website gives detailed instructions on how to make it. I really had to rush through mine, so it's not anything fancy, but guys don't tend to care about the fancy stuff anyway. I know V-day is over, so you may want to do something like this for another special occasion or save it for next year. Oh, and the reason I have blank cards is because Dollar Tree only had a trick deck of cards that had blanks on one side. It ended up working out for the best.

While we're at it, here is the Valentine Landry made for Cory. Landry used markers to color all over a coffee filter. Then we folded it so the center was a point and dipped it into water to make it "tye dyed". We then cut a stem, a center, and heart-shaped leaves and glued everything to paper to make a flower. Landry stuck some heart stickers on and voila!
