Valentines Day

Valentines Day was a treat for me this year. 

My Husband made it special.

made it important.

made it memorable.

My Aunt and Uncle came to visit for valentine weekend 

I worked that day. 

but luckily I got sent home early

on the drive home I got a text from Blake telling me to get ready

dress warm.

He 'd be  picking me up at 5:20.

No questions asked.

I was antsy

nervous

very excited

a surprise date

for  me.

5:20 and I can hear our door open. 

Blake comments on my 'smoking hot' attire

blind folds me

carries me to an unknown vehicle

and we're off.

drive....drive....drive...

....drive....

STOP.

butterflies as I wait 15 minutes for him to get things ready.

My door opens. 

he picks me up.

sets me down.

takes off the blindfold.

shock, tears, kiss.

We were parked on a  hill overlooking my Saint George 

and our  Temple.

He made all my favorites 

(Lynell made the delicious cornbread muffins, THANK YOU!)

Ribs

Mashed Potatoes

Mixed Fruit

Martinelli's 

and a delicious Banana Cream Pie from Croshaws 

I was awe-struck

We ate and enjoyed each others company

told childhood stories

and laughed until I cried

eventually the sun began to set

and we finished our meal by candlelight

I was amazed 

He picked me up in a u-haul

decorated it with candles and rose petals 

and a special memory was forever made 

We exchanged gifts. 

My gift to him was lame.

Candy, a fishing magazine, jerky

 and a gift card to his favorite restaurant.

His  gift to me was awesome!

 Costco had these knives over christmas I wanted them SOO bad

Christmas came and went and I forgot to ask for them

when I remembered I went to Costco to buy them and they were sold out

online too.

Blake found them,

ordered them.

and that was my gift! 

We bought a magnet strip from Ikea awhile back 

and when we get settled into our new place

they'll be the first things up in the kitchen  (heart)

After we had dinner and exchanged gifts the wonderful man took me to go see The Vow. 

Wasn't the best movie in the world.

But it was nice watching with my man! 

That was my Valentines  Day.

and I will never forget it!
