Valentine's Day!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, El Dia de San Valentin; and it was amazing!!  I had been plotting for a couple of days, trying to figure out what to do for my husband because it was his first time having someone to share the day with, and I wanted it to be the BEST Valentine's Day ever!

 I started the day early...4am early...the alarm went off and I quickly rolled over and started beating things...groggy and confused about what exactly was going on.  When I finally got the irritating "tick-tock" sound to cease I lay in bed, scared that I had woken my husband, grunts and we were good.  But, during that time that I waited to be sure he was asleep...I reasoned with myself that I didn't need to get up right now and sneak outside to the car and set everything up.  You see, I had hid all my surprises in the trunk of the car, knowing that was a place that he doesn't look often.  I had a couple of things that would take some time that I wanted ready before he woke up...but I knew that it would be cold outside and I was oh so tired at 4 in the morning.  So as I reasoned and procrastinated I feel asleep again. OH NO!  Next thing I knew I was being woke up to the sound of Stuart's alarm!  At 5 in the morning?  He got up and turned it off and then came back and sat on the bed, then, realizing that I was awake, he asked if I would sleep until 6am.  I said okay, curious now and we both went back to sleep

...but I didn't sleep until 6, remembering again that I had much plotting to do...I got out of bed at 550...silly me I should have known that that would not be enough time.  I pretended like I went to the bathroom, leaving the light and fan on as I tried to open the front door quietly...but it was SOOO loud!!  Finally I just jumped out the door and ran down the stairs, I grabbed what I needed from the car, and drat my indecisiveness  I decided to put the gift bag together too while I was out there. That was what my downfall was.  Finished I ran up three flights of stairs, opened the door...and there stood Stuart.  "Where were you?"  he asked as the alarm in our bedroom was going off.  I quickly tried to hide the heart shaped box of chocolates, but I felt all guilty so I handed them to him and he broke out laughing.  Then he made me breakfast, pancakes and eggs!! YUM!  and we went out to dinner that night at Famous Daves.  

He was so surprised when he went out to the car and saw the gift basket.  He sent me poems through text during the day and told me that my list of a 100 reasons why I love him made him tear up.  When he came home from work he was surprised to find our front room floor covered in hersey kisses and rose petals.  Like a boss!!  

I think this turned out to be the best Valentine's Day for both of us!
