SO far I have learned with my wife, that March 8th and her birthday, are two days I should not forget. ALthough she is starting to take a real liking too, our version of Christmas.
I am sure once here full time, Valentines will make it on her list as well.
She loves flowers and decorating the house for events, soooo.
