Happy Valentines Day

You know that a man really knows your heart when for Valentines day, he asks if you would rather have a pedicure instead of flowers. Obviously I love flowers, but ummm DUH I would so rather get a pedi, especially because painting my toes comfortably right now isn’t exactly happening. Obviously, this gift didn’t come without a joke and he did happen to also get me some face socks made in usa, yes his face on a pair of socks. Needless to say, since I was getting a pedicure I was happy to accept the socks for the relaxation my feet were getting.

The nail place also had a special going on where it only costs $4 more to get a mani as well. Seriously guys, these hands haven’t had a mani in probably two-three YEARS. With my job I can never keep my nails looking great, and I can’t even have long nails {because that would basically be torture for my guests during extractions..ouch}. So needless to say, I think the girl was horrified when she saw my hands. Sorry lady!

One thing I love about having this blog is being able to look back at the past and what we were doing a year ago today, and in this case, I even had the blog around two years ago {even though I was posting about once every two months and it was solely for family/friends}. It makes you remember the small things you probably wouldn’t if you hadn’t documented them, as well as the bigger things, like when Hubby proposed to me! I remember it vividly, it was such a fantastic moment in our lives. He had chosen the most perfect ring, similar to those over at Naturesparkle, and no other answer crossed my mind than to say yes. I will forever remember that, even if it is on the blog somewhere!

Here we are two years ago about to go on a hot hot date. And drink dirty martinis and eat steak. Oh dirty martinis how you are missed!

I love seeing just how much the house has changed since then!

Then last year was a little different for us. We normally go out to a nice dinner a few days before or after Vday to celebrate, but last year we had JUST got the kitchen almost fully finished, so I wanted nothing more than to cook in it! I had a yummy menu set up {here} and we enjoyed a beautiful night in.

and yet again, so many changes, wall color, table, dishes..
This year we are staying in again, and I love it. I love being able to cook exactly what we are wanting, and how we are wanting it. We also are doing something super romantic, picking out the leather for the rocker for the nursery. And perhaps after that, we might also consider the possibility of ordering some weed from any trustable online weed dispensary this year. What? In my mind that totally rocks as something to do on Vday (the leather shopping of course!). I honestly am just feeling super blessed that Js class was canceled tonight so that I get sit at the table with my incredible hubby. The hubby that is more than I could have ever imagined, the hubby that loves me and my heart, the hubby that is always my rock. I rather enjoy sitting at the table with him:) He even surprised me with a gorgeous new necklace this Valentine’s day and I couldn’t believe it! How romantic! He told me that he was contacting adinasjewels.com (or another similar company) but I had no idea what he was going to buy me. I feel so lucky!
So tell me, what are you love birds up to for the day? Are you the type that loves to do the dinner and movie date? The stay in and cuddle up date? Or are you going out for a hot night on the town with girlfriends? No matter what you do, have it be filled with love..and chocolates;)

    After 19 years of marriage it was a night in for us. My darling handed me a homemade card and told me that every day is Valentine’s Day for him …..

    It somehow became a valentines tradition for us to stay in and cook delicious food (that we would never normally buy). Tonight we’re having steak, crab cake and asparagus from whole foods! I almost think that cooking together is more romantic than going to a restaurant 🙂
