Daysi Aguilar & DC Do you know what my shirt is made of? Boyfriend material.

Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?

I wanna live in your socks so I can be with you every step of the way.

I thought happiness started with an H. Why does mine start with U?

I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?

Forget about Spiderman, Superman, and Batman. I'll be your man.

You look so familiar… didn't we take a class together? I could've sworn we had chemistry.

Was your dad a boxer? Cause you're a knockout!

By Christina Spriggs

The feast day of St. Valentine, one of two 3rd-century Roman mar- tyrs of the same name. St. Valentine is considered the patron of lov- ers and especially of those unhappily in love. The feast day became a lovers' festival in the 14th century, probably as an extension of pagan love festivals and fertility rites celebrated in mid-February. Today it is marked by the exchange of romantic cards (valentines), flowers, and other gifts.

By: Delaney Ballard Flowers are the number one gift on valen- tine’s day. Chocolate or any type of candy are also very popular. A GIANT teddy bear would be enjoyed by anyone on this holiday. Some boys plan the perfect date as their gift to that certain someone special. I think, put- ting a lot of time into a homemade gift is a very sweet thing to do for someone.
