V-Day

So my mom was totally giving me crap this week because I was telling her how much I hate...well dislike Valentine's Day and always have. My mom seems to LOVE the day. She always gave us nice little gift (and still does). This year she was baking up a gourmet cherry heart-shaped pie for my dad. I guess when I was younger it always seemed to be such a huge disappointment because I didn't have someone to celebrate with. Well apparently I never got over all that. Chill is great and always makes the day fun, but still every year my attitude is the same. You would think now that I've been married for a few years I'd be past that, but no. Anyway I figured this year would be the same. I felt that I was kind of off the hook and wouldn't have to celebrate because we were going to be in St. George with some friends. Well we ended up not going so I had to face it. Valentine's Day was coming and I was going to have to deal with it. I was hanging out with my mom Friday and she told me Chill and I should go out and her and my dad would watch Carson. We decided to do that. We had a great night. We went to Desert Edge for dinner. Real casual but way good. Then we walked around Trolly Square for a bit and ran some errands. I gave Chill a Cheesecake that I made (well my mom made it while I was taking wallpaper off her walls but he doesn't need to know that so shhh!) Saturday started out very uneventful...Chill went to the school to do some research and I went out to my parents to work on steaming wallpaper off the walls once again. We met back at home later that afternoon and when I walked in the door there were some beautiful flowers waiting for me on the table. I was really excited. I love getting flowers. Chill and I started cleaning the house and he was asking me if I had taken a shower. I thought maybe I smelled or something. He said it a few times and I kind of just ignored him. I thought...why would I shower before I clean the house and why does he car...weird! He finally told me his parents were on their way over to watch Carson so that we could go to dinner and a movie. We went to Chili's for dinner (with the gift card we got from my mom and dad) and then we saw He's Just Not That Into You. We finished off the night with some chocolate covered strawberries- Yummy! Once again we had a great night and Chill came through and made my Valentine's Day wonderful. Guess it's not so bad after all!

Our Happy Man- He Loves Valentine's Day Already!

(Remind me NEVER to hang wallpaper)

Stef, you should read my blog about v-day....for the record, I've NEVER had a real valentine, but that doesn't stop me from LOVING what and who I do have in my life. Don't feel sorry for me, just love me...because I'm beautiful. I'm glad you had a good day.
