Happy Valentine's Day!

"Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special 'valentine.' The day of romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia," according to History.com

Today marks the special celebration of Valentine's Day which is celebrated differently by each person or couple. Whether or not you celebrate this day of love, it's an excuse to dress up nice and go out to a fancy dinner. 



Starbucks is promoting a deal for today from 2 pm - 5 pm. Buy one latte and get the second free. So take your Valentine for a carmel macchiato and you'll get the second drink free. 

Open Table has made it easy to make reservations online, see what restaurants have reservations open, explore various menus, and see what's new in your area. The best part about Open Table is if you forgot to make a reservation for tonight, you can do so from your phone, iPad or computer. You don't even have to make a phone call. Not only is it convenient, but its practical. Today on Open Table you can see which restaurants are rated the best, what restaurants are new, who has available seating and what the weekly specials are. There are also promotions posted for Valentine's Day.

For last minute gifts, be practical. Huge teddy bears are not good gifts and what are you supposed to do with them after Valentine's Day. Flowers, Godiva chocolate or strawberries, massages, and jewelry are always safe gifts for Valentine's Day. Although, thinking outside the box and getting your special someone exactly what they're been wanting or needing is a great idea. If you have run out of gift ideas or are on a budget, get a nice card and write a nice note. 

Most importantly, spend time with the ones you love today and show your significant other, friends and family you love and care about them. 


 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
