A big thank you goes out to all those who entered our love story contest. We received many excellent submissions, and like always it is hard to choose just five. Our first-place and second-place winners, as well as our three runners up will be announced in our next Monday morning newsletter (Feb. 12) and our top five will be posted next week. However you choose to celebrate or not celebrate Valentines Day next week, we hope our winning love stories inspire and delight.
