Valentines Weekend

This year, Valentines was an entire weekend for us. Because I wanted to celebrate all three days. So we did.

Friday: Buck had to work friday night until 11 PM and I got off work at 6 PM, so I used the time I had to clean the apartment. I wanted Friday to be our romantic night, so I got 100 tea candles (and not only did I not catch anything on fire, I didn't even spill any wax! Looks like being a firefighter is paying off because that would not have been the case for me 5 years ago) and some awesome fake red and pink rose petals and used them to make a walk way for him when he came home from work.  I also spent about an hour making him a sweet tray of chocolate dipped goodies, like strawberries, pinapple, vanilla wafers, marshmellows and giant pretzel sticks.  I had everything set up so when he came home, all the lights were off for him to follow the candle-lit path which led him into me and I fed him the chocolate dipped goodies and gave him a very long and over due massage while listening to some love songs including "Every Rose Has its Thorns" from Poisen because I thought it was hilarious, from my iPod in my Rockstick.

I was so happy because it all worked out so well. Especially compared to my disaster Valentines last year where I tried to make a breakfast from a Martha Stuart magazine and it was beyond nightmare-ish. And you'd think I'd learn and stop trying to do the things she does, but no, I keep trying them and also keep failing miserably.  I've finally given up on her and kinda even hope she gets a kidney stone for being so amazing and good at everything. Or at least falls down some stairs.

And as you can see above, the tray was a huge hit :)

Saturday:

Saturday morning I had to work in PG for a few hours but I was done by noon. After coming home and getting ready to go out, Buck gave me my Valentine's gifts, which were awesome! You can't see them on me but in these pictures I'm wearing the matching earrings and necklace I wanted really bad, and he came through!  He always does though :)

I had no idea what was in the boxBut boy was I stoked!he got me a 0 degree weather sleeping bag so I wont freeze when we go camping and backpacking this summer. I loved it! After opening my gifts, we went to Sportsmens' Wearhouse to pick his up. And I really did try to have his gift for him on Valentines, but everytime I went to go get it, they were either completely out or didn't have his size in what I wanted to get him. So I just took him down and it had come in that day. I got him the gun holster and belt he's wanted for his revolver he got for Christmas. After that we met up with our friends JC and Angie we went to the early showing of the movie, Valentines Day.  It was pretty good, I like going to it for Valentines, thought it was pretty funny, but don't think we'll buy it or see it again. But it was fun to do for Valentines. Afterwards we went and ate at Chuck-a-Rama.  Ha ha, which we have decided to make it a traditon to always eat there every Valentines. It started with last year, when we tried to go out to eat on Valentines day but every restaruant was totally packed with hours of waiting. So after trying about 5 or more places, we decided to go to Chuck-a-Rama because we were starving and didn't want to wait. So we pretty much got right in, both this year and last, and we like it there so it's become our own and new tradition.  After we were stuffed full, we came back to our apartment and watched movies. Sunday:

Sunday morning, Buck snuck out of bed and while I was still sleeping he made and surprised me with breakfast in bed, with a big pink heart shaped egg, and bacon forming the word, LOVE, and pink milk. I loved it!After we got home from church we had a way yummy dinner of shish-kabobs (spelling?) with chicken and shrimp and garlic mashed potatoes. So goodBuck with his new holster

We had an awesome Valentines weekend! I'm so incredibly lucky to have my amazing husband who takes good care of me and spoils me. I love him so much
