My Valentine

To get into the Valentines day mood, I made sure to stop at the BYUI plant shop on Friday to pick up a new plant…. I got 3 cacti. perfect size for my bookshelf. I couldn’t resist! I also got a fun care package from my family with chocolates and these cute tissue paper pom pom decorations.

So we started the weekend at Applebee’s for dinner and both got a yummy macaroni and spicy chicken dish. We had to celebrate his birthday and 1,000 days together. That evening we watched a movie.

Saturday was our “Valentine’s day” so we exchanged gifts. I got flowers, a balloon, and chocolates. He got chocolate and a handmade jar of stars with “100 reasons why I love him” written on each one.

We also had lots of wedding prep plans; We bought Shel some new white pants, scanned in his baby pictures for a slideshow, and compiled all our addresses onto printable labels! I also bought Sheldon’s ring and we searched online for other details like ties and decorations.

That evening I made dough and cooked us a heart-shaped pizza. It was an easy fun way to do valentines dinner. Here is the simple recipe for the crust- thank you Pinterest!

After dinner, we had just enough time to dress up for our evening Valentine’s dance on campus.


The funny part is that we read on the schedule that it was a formal dance so we wore church clothes, but man were we underdressed…. some girls showed up in prom dresses! It gave us a good laugh along with the music selection of mostly disney…. Well, neither of us are very good at dancing, but we sure enjoyed ourselves!

On Sunday we did church in the morning. We had forgotten to have the sparkling cider earlier on… so we had it with popcorn. Cheers!
