Oh my gosh. I thought I had good things in store for Bryan, but he totally won the "Best Present Giver" award. I got out of the shower to find a dozen yellow with red tips roses, a beautiful card, and (drumroll, please) a diamond band to match my wedding ring! [Five hundred exclamation points!!!] I love it so much! It's so sparkly and pretty and perfect. And so is he.
The kids woke up to a few small presents on the piano. Andlie got a pink hat, new watter bottle, jump rope, and a card. Hazey got a red hat, new water bottle, squishy baseball, and a card. I gave Bryan small presents through the day (card on the shower, cookies to work, family pic & candy work kit at work, writing on his car after work, Q&A printed interview with Andlie about Daddy & heart pizza when he got home), but his big present was some Jazz tickets!
I love my Valentine so much and am so thankful for everything he does for me & for our family every single day. And I know he feels the same way about me. And that makes me super lucky & blessed.
Just for fun, here's a flashback of our other Valentine's Days spent together.
2006: We were dating. He gave me some roses & Diet Coke and of course, a beautiful card. I made him go on a scavenger hunt @ UNLV to find a candybar poster on campus.
2007: First year of marriage. He totally surprised me & brought roses to my work in person! He also had hearts cut out all over the house when I got home. I made him go on a scavenger hunt through our house to find small presents & goodies. We went on a date to a new Mexican place in town.
2008: He left me presents in my car while I was at work. When I came home, the house was decorated with Valentines decor. I made him a jar of 100 reasons why I loved him. I also made him a crab dinner. I ate hot pockets.
2009: First year with Andlie. I had balloons blown up with helium & tied to cans of Diet Coke through the house. Each balloon had a small present inside. He planned a really sweet dinner @ the Alumni House - just us. He had the table set & decorated & roses there for me when we arrived. Andlie came with us & sad in her carseat quietly.
2010: He gave me a new purse with "purse items" in it. Each item had a cute note on it. I gave him a homemade book with quotes about him from my journal. Andlie got her beloved stuffed sock Monkey from Bryan this year.
2011: He gave me a family picture and a beautiful long letter (not a card) & flowers. I gave him a family picture & candybar poster. We went to dinner at Pizza Factory.
2012: In the middle of deciding if we should take a new job. He gave me roses & candy. I gave him candy & new underwear. Both kids got some Valentines. We went on a date.
