Be My Valentine

I spent Valentine's Day worrying about quizzes and getting bad tips all night. (You'd think with all that love in the air, they would be nice to the server, especially when she tried so hard to make it a nice evening). Since Wes and I both hate crowds, we were both fine with going to dinner the following day. So I thought we weren't doing anything special on the 14th. I came home ( a little upset and tired from such a disappointing/ stressful night at work) to find this...

All my favorite treats spelling I <3 U, but that wasn't all! We got to sit on our new couch and watch a movie while I got an amazing foot rub. Complete with good smelling lotion.
The next night we got dressed up for our dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Before we left I asked Wes' to take a picture with me.( He hates being in pictures). After many attempts I still wasn't happy with any we had taken, so I asked for one more. He told me this was the last one. Here's how it turned out.

Not quite what I had in mind, but I'll take it. I had a great night with the man of my dreams! Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Little Bursts at a Time

I feel that in my life, I will have a period time where nothing exciting is happening, and then all at once it's non stop action. The past 3 weeks have been that action part. It all started with a Jazz game. Wes and I got to go out on a date. We ate good food and enjoyed a great night.

Then, another Jazz game, but this time there were a few more people than just Wes and I. My Uncle Chris had fun yelling degrading comments to the opposing team, even though no one could hear him. That just seemed to make it even more funny to him. James (3) and Elijah had fun dancing to the music, and my little sister had a fun time looking after all the kids, especially Adam.


The following Sunday, some cousins of mine and Wes and I went to my parents for dinner and black bottom cake to celebrate one of my cousins and Wes' birthday that were both coming up. I know Wes loved that the only candle my parents could find was a Barbie candle.

Wes' birthday was at the beginning of February. We said we weren't going to do anything big. I kept my word and didn't do anything big, but I did surprise him. I leave early in the morning and put his new shirts, that he already knew about on the table with a note, balloon and a drink he likes. He thought that was all I was going to do. Little did he know that I decorated the house while he was in class. After blowing up so many balloons, I was a little light headed.



And for Wes' birthday... we finally got a couch!

He wanted to go to sushi house with a couple of people, but I didn't get any pictures.
Then a few days latter, I got to see some old roommates again. We went to see the art exhibit down at the BYU art museum, followed but dinner at Chen's.

Then we watched the superbowl at my in-laws. The food was awesome, but I was disappointed by the commercials and half time show. Hopefully they try harder for next year.
