Happy first birthday and Valentine's day to the best little stinker we've ever been so happy to receive! Your human fell in love with you at first sight when you were a tiny one at just a few months old, and when I finally met you and saw you together, my heart knew we were ready and you were the one! The journey getting you home was a long one, but so worth the patient wait. Clover, today it is like you have always been here with us. You helped us move through the heaviest of grief and you fill our hearts, life and home with immeasurable love, laughter and joy every single day. Thanks for choosing US to be your humans! I hope you enjoyed your birthday breakfast of extra food. There will be more treats later! We love you, little man. Oh how we love you! #clovergram #happybirthdayclover #clovieturnsone #valentinesday #weloveourblackcat #blackcatsofinstagram #catsofinsta #LAcats #catmama #catfamily #adoptdontshop #rescuekitty #santedoralumni #whosavedwho #ourboyclover #bestvalentineever #weloveyouclovie #gratefulthankfulblessed #picoftheday #photooftheday #potd #LOVE https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jzO8Bgv_9/?igshid=1ggaj8buo44op

{ Why I Love Jesus } . Day 12 of 30 . He knows exactly what will bless us most. . If you know me, you know that I hate Valentine's Day. For many reasons, including the ridiculous commercialization of love and shaming people into spending money to "prove" their affection. . For me, though, it started when I was a kid. Every year I looked forward to the excitement of getting Valentine's at school. But some of the cards I got were so cruel. . They said things like "Don't be my valentine.", or "You are ugly.", or "I wish you would die." . Every year I hoped for better, but every year I got a few of those. . So, I stopped celebrating it. . Until I had kids. Then I made sure they would always have Valentine's that spoke life and love over them. . Waking up to snow, one of my FAVORITE things in the verse, was such a beautiful valentine from Him. . He knows exactly what we need and He delights in giving us good gifts. 💙💜 . . . . . #whyIloveJesus #day12 #10000reasons #snow #love #valentinesday #Helovesusso #bestvalentineever #beautiful #thankful #joyinthelittlethings #loved #snowday #myheartisfull #Heknowsmesowell #Heissogood #beblessed

Call to romance people. we recently began work on another "Meet me...." band. Are you the person that waits until the last minute and pays double for roses on Valentines Day? Worse are one of those idiots lacking a romantic bone in your body and repeat horrible things like it's a Hallmark holiday? It's not to late to turn that around. Get in touch for one of our stock bands or let us know what you want and we can make it happen. You will feel really excited waking up on Valentine's Day because you'll be surprising someone. Then you will make their day and you never know what that can lead to. ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹💋💋💋💋#bestvalentineever #valentines #romance

Love a Belle

by: Nikki Charter ’15

If you are lucky enough to have a Saint Mary’s woman in your life, you know - and accept - that you will always be the second love of her life (her Belles are #1, DUH)

But here are 11 Valentine’s Day gift ideas to make her love you even more...

1.    A framed photo of The Avenue

2.    A mix CD of all the songs she danced to, sang to and listened to with her Belles when she was a student (bonus points if you include the song she had on repeat when she turned 21)

3.    A print of her favorite Sister Madeleva quote

4.    The complete DVD box set of the TV show everyone on her floor watched together sophomore year

5.    A bracelet with the coordinates of her favorite place on campus

6.    Quality time together… reading The Courier

7.    Cook her a romantic, Cyber-esque meal of Chicken Strips, Fries and a Quesadilla (bonus points if you remember the Diet Coke) OR find out what the Moreau dinner is and do that

8.    Make a donation to Saint Mary’s in her name! (Pro tip: you can split payments throughout the year)… the gift that keeps on giving!

9.    Literally anything that says “Saint Mary’s College”

10.  Literally anything with a French Cross on it

11.  A weekend trip to South Bend! Relive the glory days - see Saint Mary’s through her eyes! Tour campus, grab dinner, hang with DJ Drew at the Backer, eat pizza at Corby’s, stay until the lights come on at Finni’s, wake up, go to Mass and say “see you soon” *tear*.
