This post is going to start with the happenings of last week. The husband brought me flowers last friday [feb 3] because he had to be gone pretty much all weekend for school [yuck] so he brought me these beautiful flowers for a "Thanks for being supportive and I love you". How sweet!
These are potted flowers because the husband does not understand why people buy cut flowers. "they're just going to die anyways! Why would I give you dead flowers to symbolize my love?" I tried to explain how they are romantic, yada yada yada... but we found a compromise. He now buys me potted flowers! Awesome, yes? Well, I thought since he's not a fan of buying flowers that this would probably count as my Valentine's Day flowers as well, and I was perfectly happy with that!
Skip forward in time
The husband said that he had plans for us to celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday and that it was a surprise. I'm no good with surprises - I wanna know so bad, but at the same time I don't. Well, the husband decided he should just tell me what we were going to do so I could figure out what to wear. He told me we were going to the Big Band Night! woot woot!
Before we went out for the date we stopped by the local flower shop for a surprise. I had no idea what to expect because I had just got flowers and he isn't a fan of cut flowers, but he walked out with this:
A corsage! What a stud! I hadn't gotten one of these since my high school prom. It was such a sweet gesture! I absolutely loved it and it made me a little teary for how thoughtful he was!
Big Band Night was awesome! It was a 1940s theme dance, dinner, and show! The Synthesis jazz band played period music, we danced, had dinner, watched performers dance and sing... it was awesome!
The band was awesome! They seriously tore it up - so fun to dance to a live band!
[This old couple was so cute! They were dressed up so fancy and knew how to dance to all the songs! They were so cute and proper and were doing all sorts of crazy stuff. I was in love with them.]
It was so fun to dance the night away! The husband and I were able to pull out some sweet moves from the dance classes we took together. It was awesome.
[Evette spent the evening with a great family friend who took such good care of her! They had a great time together]
I had a little card and gift [catchphrase!] for the husband for Valentine's day and he said to save it until the real valentine's day so that something fun would happen on that day since we did our big celebration early. So Tuesday morning the husband got his card and game and all was well. After baby went down for her morning nap the husband tucked me back into bed for my morning nap - what a sweetie. When I woke up, this bouquet was on the table!
What a stud! I mean seriously - is that not gorgeous? The lilies are making my house smell so good!! What a great guy. I'm super in love.
Flowers with the card for Evette, Sean, and ones from my parents
For valentine's dinner I made a chinese chicken cabbage salad - freaking delicious.
I hated valentine's day in high school - hated it!
But now that I'm married and have 2 Valentines [the husband and baby girl] it's the best. What a great weekend of loveliness!!
