{ Giveaway Contest: In Love With Love }
Love is in the air!
I’ll never tell, but I’m actually kind of a romantic. I love me a good, emotional, epic love story. I indulge in girly rom-coms. And yes, although I’m ashamed to admit it, I absolutely LOVE Korean Romance dramas (K-Dramas). I am a premium member of DramaFever.com and will often watch K-Dramas late into the night.
Anyway!
Since I don’t personally celebrate Valentine’s Day with Husby (N)–our dating anniversary falls on February 24, so we skip Valentine’s Day for our Anniversary–my Valentine’s Day present to myself is reading all about the romance and happiness in your lives! Let’s be each other’s Valentines! Tell me your amazing love story. My favorite story will win an After Valentine’s Day Gift!
In honor of St. Valentine’s Day, I’ll award one lucky thereafterish. reader with her own indulgent Valentine! Think of it as a romantic present to yourself because you are a splendid, beautiful creature and you deserve to be pampered and feel every bit as pretty as you are inside and out.
Included will be my favorite Holy Grail Red Lipsticks that look good on all skin tones (aka. the red lipstick that looks good on everyone–One perfect red and one dark red: MAC Ruby Woo and Nuance Beauty Paprika), a wonderful refreshing vitamin face mist, a deliciously fragrant candle and perhaps a little something extra! (Or, if you’re a guy, you could enter this contest for your girlfriend and give her the prize as a “PS. I Love You” gift! Who doesn’t love presents?)
I am so excited start hearing about all your amazing love stories!

I had eyes for my first love since elementary school. He was the most adorable kid, well-liked, smart, and athletic. I thought he was perfect. Our families became close over the years, bonding through junior golf and being that our younger brothers were the same age and loved to hang out together. I never really got to know him until he moved away to Arizona after our last year of middle school. We started chatting on AIM (AOL Instant Messenger), and really got to know each other through talking about anything and everything. Then our senior year of high school approached and Senior Prom was upon us. We were falling in love and wanted to be together…so he asked me to prom and I flew from Hawaii to Arizona to be with him. I just remember how love crazy I was…sitting and sleeping at the airport for hours waiting during my layover, staying over at his house (of course sleeping in the guest bedroom), and missing my own Senior Prom to go to his. Of course everything was worth it! After prom ended, we went back to his house before going to an afterparty, and we had our first of many kisses! Happy Valentines Day!
WHOA. I think this one might win, Lauren! This is really so cute.

It was May 25, 2008. We were celebrating my grandmothers 84th birthday that day. Lots of family and friends were over. Great food, greats drinks, and amazing company. After a few drinks (I normally get a little “tipsy” after just TWO, yes, I’m a lightweight), Eli told me that he wanted to go to my bedroom (yes, we didn’t live together until we got engaged. Does that make me “old-fashioned”. Lol). I had no clue what he wanted, but I thought his intentions were of the intimate/kinky nature. LOL. I told him that we can’t DO THAT right now, we have company over, but he insisted that it wasn’t what he was implying. Hahaha. We walk into my bedroom and he closes the door. I’m still thinking he wants to get kinky. LOL. Then all of a sudden, he takes both of my hands and I see his eyes are tearing up. I’m all of a sudden SOBER, because I had an inkling about what was going to happen. He gets down on one knee, and the tears and cires and squeals come pouring out of me! The moment was perfect…. UNTIL… my Sister opens the door and sees just me crying! I shove her out the door and tell her to give us moment. She’s out there in the hallway thinking we’re fighting. Haha. He continues with his proposal and tells me all the amazing things about our life together and how we’ve been together for 8 years now and that 8 symbolizes a new beginning and infinity, and that he couldn’t think of ever spending his life without me. I was his past, his present, and his future. He showed me the most gorgeous ring I’ve ever seen (and he knows that I’m not a “diamond girl” and didn’t want anything fancy or showy), asked if I would be his for all time and eternity and with tears of joy and happiness still gushing out, I said, YES! One of the best days of my life.

OH MY GOD!!!
Hmmm. A cray thing I did for love…. I MISSED MY JUNIOR PROM! WTF. A former bf of mine didn’t want me to go to my prom. What a loser. Let’s say, that was a waste of time. Oh young love, the stupid things we do. Haha.
xx Love & Aloha

ACTUALLY I did just think of a hilarioussss story about my first “boyfriend” I don’t even know if I can call him that. Don’t judge because I was probably around 15 – 16 at this point and I had never had a boyfriend. But I started dating this kid after we met once and the next day we ran into each other at school and he didn’t recognize me because he probably had a different gf ever week; I just think that’s the funniest shit ever. Oh young love.
Haha, That is pretty funny, though! ^_^ Teens are so like that, I’m not judging. From, like, age 10 – age 17, they go through different partners like flavors of the week. I was a nerd in elementary school and junior high so I never experienced this… but I saw it all the time. (NERD ALERT.)

Thanks Mae!
I definitely don’t think I did anything really out of there to impress someone; I just never cared enough when I was younger
But I’ve definitely written love notes and cards and junk like that; I don’t know if that counts as crazy there ya go! Haha
The craziest thing I’ve done? Does making a homemade dinner count? I think I need to be more adventurous! lol
I don’t think you need to be more adventurous, just act on your impulses that you already have!

I have a similar Valentine’s situation as you – me and my BF started dating shortly after Vday. I think we’re either going to do our anniversary instead, OR observe our anniversary in a few months. between Christmas in December, my birthday in January, and Vday in Feb there’s a lot we’ve been celebrating!
As to crazy things I’ve done for love… does undergoing lots of bad dates count? Before I found the guy I’m dating now, I had a date where the guy showed up drunk, met one guy who ended up becoming a celibate yogi, and met another guy who turned out to be married!
I think bad dates definitely count!
