Valentine's Day

In the past decade of my life, Valentine's Day and I fell out of sorts once we stopped decorating mailboxes and delivering candy-adorned notes in school. As a matter of fact, some February 14ths of my life have been marked excessive listening to Kelly Clarkson or road trips to California-- just to "get away" from the bizarre world of ward menus and library PDA that is Provo. 

But today, I realized that I have changed my mind. I am embracing the love!


You may be thinking, "Lauren, this is wonderful-- but aren't you remarkably single?"
The obvious answer to that question is yes. However, this leaves me free to dream up whatever kind of Valentine's Day I want!


Remember a few years ago when I had a mild obsession with David Archuleta? 

I am now happy to report that as of the past two days, it has back and thriving... maybe like some kind of viral infection but SO much better.


It would also involve a dress like this. 

Pink, because that's what you do to fit the occasion.


And while I'm really not crazy about the whole obligatory gift-exchange, I know I could make a killer coupon book. 

And I'd take some flowers. 

Doesn't that sound fantastic?!? I am so tickled by my imagination that I won't even mind the fact that I'll probably end up spending my evening doing homework after FHE.

But if you'd rather watch a movie, I would be happy to oblige. :)

 Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!!

What are your plans?
