Long Over Due...

I am sitting here waiting for Jared to give me the Go Light for me to head over to his uncle's office so I can get my teeth cleaned....So I thought I would do a little blogging since I haven't done it in FOREVER! I am sorry I have been a little distracted and haven't wanted to post anything in a while. But here I am! Life is awesome and I am so happy! I should probably post about my awesome Valentine's Day weekend since it was amazing and my very first Valentine's having someone to celebrate with. It was 3 days worth of fun, surprises, love, and happiness! Jared and I decided to celebrate Saturday night since I had to work from 6am till 7pm Saturday so I wanted to go to bed early on Friday. But during the day on Friday while I was working, Jared all of a sudden showed up with a big vase full of beautiful flowers! :) He had gone to great lengths in trying to find out what kind of flowers are my favorite. When I wasn't looking, he got my phone and got my mom's and Beth's phone numbers out of it. He then said he had to go do something real quick, so he went downstairs and was gone for a while...apparently he called my mom to ask her what my favorite flowers were! But she got me a little confused with Bethany telling him that it was pink roses and lilies, and he texted Bethany to ask her what she thought my favorites were. I don't think she really knew so he ended up just asking me straight up what they were (gerbera daisies and red roses! :) So he brought me flowers while I was working which gives him extra points for giving them to me in front of people so I can show them off. :) That night I ate dinner with him and his family and visited with them for a little bit, but left at 10pm so I could get to bed!

Saturday was a very long day and I was definitely looking forward to that night. Work was crazy, but thankfully I was able to leave work at noon and go to Jared's to eat lunch and take a quick nap before needing to be back at 3. Anyway, I got off work at 7 and rushed home to change my clothes and be ready for when he picked me up at 7:30. He told me he had called Texas Roadhouse and we weren't going to be able to get a table until 9pm!! We were starving so we went to McDonald's to get a snack to hold us over until then. :) Then we went to Wal-Mart to kill some time and buy some treats for the movie. It was 8:45 when we were done so we headed to Texas Roadhouse and got seated right away! I LOVE that place so much! We shared a big rack of ribs, ate a whole lot of rolls, and had lots of fun together. Then we headed over to the movie theater to see "Valentine's Day"! It was a pretty good movie! We laughed a lot and enjoyed it for the most part.

Sunday we went to church and then had linger longer afterwards. Then went and picked up his Uncle Kendall from the shuttle and then went back to his house where his entire family came over for dinner and we enjoyed Hawaiian Haystacks, sparkling cider, and pie made by his mom who is an amazing cook! Mmmm :) We spent the rest of the night chatting with his family, I fell down the stairs when I went up to hide his present in his room and got a huge bruise on my arm, and watched THE AMAZING RACE! It was a very good day. We exchanged gifts and he got me a Mary Kay basket of lotion and shower gel and body spray as well as a Victoria Secret gift card. I got him a laundry basket (he didn't even have his own laundry basket! haha) filled with candy and mountain dew and his favorite movie Taken!

So, that was my Valentine's Day weekend. I had a blast. I know this was super long, but I wanted to record it so I don't forget it. :) Also, I am awful at taking pictures so that's why I have none. :) Hopefully I can get better at that!
