Valentine's Day Week

But first... Sage gets the GOLD!!!! WHEE!! Is everyone enjoying the Olympics??! I love snowboarding.

So, the other morning, the radio DJs said Valentine's Day is really rough on people who just started dating, particularly in January. There is a lot of pressure to make a really romantic overture if you are into the other person, yet it's been a short time, so people aren't sure they want to make a big deal out of Valentine's day, or perhaps they don't know if the other person wants to make a thing of it. So it's all sorts of awkward.

Jeff and I started dating in January and Valentine's Day was awesome! I didn't wonder if I should make a big deal out of it or not. It was obviously going to be a special day.

(Jeff is reading this, probably remembering the opposite. Ahaha!)

I even have a photo of our first Valentine's Day. He was wearing a tie and everything, y'all.

So our first date was Jan 28 and V-day was 17 days later. We rocked it!

12.)Do you think people who have dated can stay friends?
Absolutely. After time passes, of course.

13.) If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about dating or relationships what would it be?
Relationships shouldn't be difficult. Most of the time, relationships are easy and life-enriching. Challenges should be a relative rarity. If not, get out, because you can have the right relationship with another person.
