Our Cheap Valentine's Day

When Kevin and I were first dating in 2006, he sent me a beautiful bouquet of a dozen long stem red roses. They were wonderful and I loved having them on my desk. The next year we were married and agreed it wasn't worth the money. I think it was then we decided we would just do cards for birthday's, Valentine's, and anniversaries. Neither of us are gift's people. I'm a terrible gift giver. Kevin and I would much prefer to go places and do things together (as you can tel by our many travels.)

But when this February rolled around we had a series of text messages that went a little like this;
Kevin: Did you get me a card yet?
Bekah: Nope. You?
Kevin: Nope. Wanna skip it?
Bekah: Sure. How about you buy me McDonald's breakfast instead? I'll order off the dollar menu.

And that's just what we did. We go to the early service at church and are out of the parking lot by 9:45. We ran through the drive through and I got my Sausage McMuffin and fruit parfait and was good for the morning. We headed over to the antique and second hand stores and did some browsing. I got a couple of pairs of maternity jeans (that will end up as capris because they are too short for my long legs) and Kevin got some shirts.

We headed to Target and the mall but didn't really find much so Kevin treated me to a Thrifty's ice cream cone. Mmmm, butter pecan.

Maybe not the most calorie friendly date, but possibly the cheapest date we have been on.
