Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Christian was the best Valentine this year; he seriously spoiled me and I loved every minute of it. This year he did the 14 days of Valentine's.

Day 1: A Tulip delivered to my work
Day 2: I found a gift card to the movies when I went to use my GPS
Day 3: The new Lady Gaga Album
Day 4: He wrote me a poem
Day 5: Vegetarian Cookbook
Day 6: A cupcake from Kick Ass Cupcakes and it was delicious!
Day 7: A gift card to Trader Joes
Day 8: I found a bouquet of flowers in the car on my way to the gym
Day 9: He e-mailed me an Amazon gift Card (I LOVE Amazon)
Day 10: He sent me 10 E cards
Day 11: He bought me Biggest Loser Boot Camp (I had been been doing this video through Netflix and didn't want to send it back.)
Day 12: A cute purse and wallet that I had been wanting on Amazon
Day 13: A box of chocolates and the movie A time Travelers Wife
Day 14: A new lens for my camera

As you can see he was sooo good to me and so sweet to think of all those things. I felt so excited everyday wondering what thing I was going to get. He is such an amazing and thoughtful husband, I just wonder how I got so lucky!

Christian was doing so much for me and I had no idea what I was going to do for him, but I knew I had to do something special. I decided I was going to take him out for a surprise date on Saturday Night. I told him we were going to babysit for our friends, Kate and Logan and watch their little boy Soren. Kate was amazing and sent a very convincing e-mail with details about the time of the drop off and that she would be bringing pizza. Christian totally bought into it and really he had no reason not to. My friend, Julie, was set up to babysit. I gave her a card for Christian on Friday which stated the details for our date.
At 5:45 p.m. we were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Soren, so you can imagine that Christian was pretty confused when at 5:45 p.m. the doorbell did ring, but Julie was at the door and not Kate & Logan. He still didn't know what was going on. She said she drove down to give him his Valentine's gift and handed him his card. He read the card and then looked at me and asked, "But what about Kate and Logan, who will watch Soren?" It was pretty funny; I let him know they were in on the surprise and they were going to be just fine.
We got ready quickly and headed to the North End where I had made reservations at a delicious Italian restaurant. Afterward we went to a murder mystery play, Shear Madness, which was hilarious. It was so nice to have a date with my hot hubby! I am so grateful for good friends that offer to watch our little guy so we can go out once in awhile.

Ready to go on our Surprise date.

For Valentine's Day, I bought both my boys bow ties for church. Don't you think they look adorable? I love my little Valentines!
