Valentine's Day was very fun for Karl and I!
We both joke that this is the first year we wouldn't have a traumatic or awkward Valentine's experience. Karl has a very entertaining story about last Valentine's day involving cheez-its and a 6 hour car ride:) I'll spare him and not tell the details, but both of us were very glad to get to spend the day with our eternal Valentine.
Karl picked me up after I got off work and then we headed to the Blue Bird for dinner, which just happened to be where we went to dinner on our first official date. The Bluebird was hopping with a slightly more 'mature' crowd. I saw that the Blue Bird was having a Valentine's Buffet in place of taking orders. Well, my husband wasn't to thrilled with that idea so after we were seated we decided to call over to Chili's and eat there instead. We were in a lazy mood and wanted to be served instead of serve ourselves. Plus, that Chili's chips and salsa is super super super delicious and I started craving those chips as soon as we thought of Chili's as plan B.
So we sneakily left the Blue Bird, which still served the purpose of fulfilling our sentimental mood, and headed to Chili's where we had a delicious dinner. Then, we were going to go to the store and buy apples for our treat because I am addicted to fruit and on the date that I broke up with Karl on (longish story, but it was actually one of the most fun dates we have been on. I had some issues.) I asked him if we could have fruit for the treat, but since being married I have grown a gynormous sweet tooth so we went to Lee's and got a big tub of vanilla ice cream, hard shell chocolate sauce, frozen strawberries, and ice cream cones instead. Eating that ice cream while watching episodes of The West Wing at home was so delicious and relaxing.
All in all, it was a funny, relaxing, great day with the man I love. He helps me laugh at life and at myself. He has taught me so much about working hard for the things that matter most. And I can't get over that light in his eyes when he smiles or talks about the things he believes and wants to accomplish with me. I am crazy about the guy so sorry about my mushiness, or not so sorry. It's mushy, sentimental, and most importantly the way I feel so there ya have it.
I hope you guys enjoyed a day of love and laughter with the people you care about! Here is an awesome talk by Elder Holland that made me have a better understanding of Christ Like love called How Do I Love Thee? I'm posting the video so you can all watch. It is a wonderful talk all about the love of our Savior. I hope you all enjoy and happy Valentine's week!
