Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all my blogging friends! Hope you and your loved one are snuggling up and enjoying that love that you enjoy and cherish so much. It's so hard to believe that Chris and I have been married for almost 2 years now!

This is what I woke up to sitting on the table :) Chris had some preschoolers and puffy paint help him out on this one- so sweet!

What a message too...<3

This year Chris and I decided to spice things up for Valentine's Day. We got tired of doing all the cliche things that couples do for Valentine's Day, such as go to the movies, eat really good food by candle light, and hold hands. We were just so over all that. This year we decided to do things that truly made us happy. For example, starting to cook dinner, but purposely burning everything so we HAD to eat Chic-Fil-A. Yum! I never feel like I can treat myself to Chik-Fil-A unless my smoke detector goes off, it's just one of those things that go hand in hand. Chris and I always split the Chicken Sam sandwich. It always makes us think of our friend Sam, who we actually nicknamed Chicken Sam Sam, after the sandwich of course.

After Chick-Fil-A, Chris and I played some scratch coin lottery. Chris always lets me scratch them myself, he's so sweet. He loves watching me get so excited about the prospect of winning money. I get really excited! I mean, who doesn't like getting money?! However, tonight, after 3 Kitty Cash cards, I got nothin.

THEN- Chris did the unthinkable! He took our car to the car wash together! What a sly guy...didn't know he had THAT up his sleeve.

We ended our night snuggling on the couch watching Fraggle Rock and cutting each other's finger nails. Can you imagine a more romantic night? Nope, me neither.

There's this really neat website called piknic.com. You can upload pictures of yourself and other people and edit it so that it can be in different colors or add you saying really neat stuff. It's so fun! I decided to take a picture from this past summer of Chris and I at the beach and spice it up a little. Take a look at what I created.


Pretty cute, right?! I think it turned out really well. Exactly the message I wanted to share. I ended up printing it out and slipping it into Chris's lunch pail he takes to work everydy. In a marriage, it's all about this little things you do to keep the love alive :)

Tell me about what you and YOUR sweetie did for Valentine's Day! What special things did you do to make them feel important in your life?
