Valentine's Day

I'm not very good at being crafty, but I love that I got to try a couple projects for Valentine's Day and I think they went alright!

I copied this tutorial for the wreath.


I copied this tutorial for the letters. I didn't follow it exactly because frankly we're poor and I didn't want to go yarn crazy so I modified it a bit but I think it still worked out.

I'm getting excited to celebrate Valentine's Day with Karl. I love him more and more everyday. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through this past year and half without him. It's hard to imagine what life was like without getting to wake up every morning and have him smile at me or be able to break down in front of him and have him hold me until I can compose myself again. I love love. I love that even though we both have to work until midnight on the real Valentine's Day, we are making our own rules and celebrating on Wednesday because we're married and we can make up our own rules because we want to!

I feel really lucky that Karl even noticed me in that math class. I still remember telling my mom about the cute guy in math class even before he talked to me on the bus (which happened only a few short weeks after that phone call to my mom thankfully:)
Even this morning when I was loving how cute he is when he's all sleepy and disoriented, I kept thinking that I can't believe how lucky I am to be married to him! I still have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I'm not dreaming. Sorry for the sappy lovey doveyness, but when I don't get to see him for a long time (which is basically like if I have to go more than five hours without seeing him) I miss him lots and these musings about how much I love and miss him today is what's occupying my thoughts right now. Just in case I didn't say it enough already, I love this guy:)
