I Heart V-DAY

I love valentines day. It is my second favorite holiday falling just below Christmas. First off I love having a valentine...especially now that mine is MINE forever :) I love how everything is pink and sparkly and pretty. I love how the grocery stores are stocked with the most beautiful flowers and everything is cute and heart shaped. Im so excited for this valentines day. I happen to be married to one of the most romantic men ever. He always does the sweetest things. This will be our third Valentines day together and he has never failed to amaze me.

Our first year together he bought me a bouquet of yellow tulips. They just happen to be my very favorite flower and they are not in season during valentines day. We drove to Bloomington and went to the mall of America. Then we went to Build A Bear and made the cutest teddybear that we named Spencer. we shopped for a while and went to an oxygen bar and got a massage. After shopping our little hearts out, it was quite a rejuvenating experience. We spent the rest of the evening in the theme park riding rides and then went to a romantic dinner after. It was so much fun.

The following Valentines day would have to be my very favorite though. Thomas had just moved to Idaho in January to go to BYU-I. He was a broke college student and had spent all his money to get a ride to boise to see me. He said he had gotten me a gift but it was no big deal because he was broke. On valentines day we went to dinner and then he presented my with a pretty pink and red glass that were filled with little hearts cut out of red paper. There were probably a hundred of them in there. On each little folded up heart in his handwriting, there was something that he loved about me. Spilling out of the cup there were red paper mach`e roses he had made. I was to read a little heart note everyday and I would know some of the reasons he loves me. Ha ha I read them all in one night and cried my eyes out. That was the sweetest gift ever. I still read those little heart notes sometimes.

I am so excited to see whats in store this year. I know he has been doing some planning but he's been very sneaky about it. He's really good at surprises. Gosh I love that man!

Happy Love day everyone!!!
