Since the beginning of our relationship, my husband and I have always celebrated Valentine’s Day on February 15 th . This a tradition that I stole from my Grandpa and that Matt has been more than happy to participate in because he says that this another holiday fabricated by greeting card companies. Why did my grandpa wait one day? Because everything is half price. My grandpa would save a penny anywhere he could, and this was one of his many strategies. Growing up, I always thought I would marry somebody like my stepdad. Big and strong stature, boots and jeans every day, and can fix anything type of guy. My stepdad is a GREAT guy and I would have been lucky to marry somebody like him, but I didn’t. I married somebody like my grandpa. Yes, they both love to save money, but that is not the only way that Matt reminds me of my grandpa. There are other practical things too- they have similar builds and statures. My grandpa wore a polo dress shirt every single day.
