Sweetest Day

This past weekend was Sweetest Day. Many people who don't have a significant other claim this is just a "Hallmark Holiday" and it is nothing meaningful. Although I don't consider it an actual holiday, I personally still think that it is something to be celebrated if you have someone to celebrate it with. Lucky for me, I had a great companion to spend Saturday the 15th with this year.

My boyfriend Jake is one of those people who believes it is just another day, a Hallmark Holiday. Being the good boyfriend he is, though, he knows I love every chance to celebrate something, so he acted like this day was a big deal. He went all out and planned a wonderful date day for the two of us, and needless to say, it was awesome.

We ended up going to a pumpkin farm in Random Lake. When we arrived, we hopped on a hay ride and picked out pumpkins. It took forever for me to find the perfect one, but luckily Jake was willing to walk distances just to find me the roundest and orangest pumpkin. Finally we found our pumpkins-Jake's being a whopping 29 pounds! After that, we decided to make our way to the corn maze, which was the best part. It was huge and Jake and I had such a great time.

After we got home, we went out to eat at Applebee's and carved pumpkins. When that was done, we snuggled up on the couch and watched some T.V. together, talking and reminiscing about our day. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. I know many of you don't care at all how Jake and I spent Sweetest Day, or if we celebrated it at all. The point I want to get across, is that it's very important to take time to celebrate the relationship shared between you and a significant other. I loved having alone time with Jake at the pumpkin farm and felt that it was a great way to escape life's troubles and stresses. Each and every couple should take time away from the world to celebrate eachother and the love they share.
