..valentines 2thousand10..

Yes! Finally, my first Valentine's with the love of my life! I know its 2011 but I thought I should blog about last year's Valentine's Day! It was the best, nothing will ever top it!

I was so nervous for Valentine's, Kasey and I agreed that he would plan our first Vday together. I was so anxious and excited to know but he would not tell me anything! Ugh the days went by so damn slow and every second dragged! That weekend my whole family planned to go to Vegas for the 7's Rugby tournament, since then it's now a family tradition! So with that being said, I was looking for every excuse not to go, messed up I know! But seriously, who wants to be in Vegas and away from the person they love the most on Valentines?? So my excuse was, "oh my boss denied my request for that weekend" ahahaha! Slick I know. Well the real reason was that both Kasey and I knew that I was pregnant and we wanted this Valentine's to be special, so I was the only who stayed home! It was so nice having the house to myself and doing anything and everything! 

Let's get to our date now shall we? :)

So, we both got ready and he blind folds me as I get into the car. As he's driving, he plays a cd with all our songs we listened to on our first date; which were: Beautiful and Special, All Night Long, Downtime, *Valentine's-Ryan Leslie*, You Can Get it All, Stilettos, and more. I'm already getting teary eyes at this point! The car comes to a stop, I get out of the car and we're at the studio; where we first met. Along with this came a letter he wrote for me, it simply explained the significance of this spot. **Where we met and fell in love** aaawwww right??

We get in the car, the blind fold comes on again and on to the next stop we go. We come out the car and I open my eyes and we're standing outside the hospital where we've planned to give birth at. My tears would not stop pouring, he held me tight and close and made me read the second letter.. It explained that this is where both our lives will change forever and our baby is **a symbol of our love** and NOT A MISTAKE. My make up is completely gone and we're not even halfway through our date!

It's back in the car we go, at this point my head was hurting and I was starting to feel a bit nauceous from the blind fold. So my pregnant self just slept until we got to our third destination, which was the temple! Alright, this was a shocker, the reason being is that Kasey is not really all that strong in the church and the temple is the last place on earth I would have thought of! There was no letter for this stop, instead he held my hands and looked me straight in the eyes and said, although we're not worthy to enter the temple, I'll try my best to do so, because it's what you've wanted since you were a little girl! Oh my gosh can you say **PERFECT**?? He literally knocked me off my feet when he said those words to me!!

The last place we come to is the cemetery, we stayed in the car for this one. It's pretty obvious that we'll be together til we die :) this is the significance.  He shared something with me from a seminary lesson (oh snap, look at my missionary! lol) what is the most important part on the headstone?? I clearly didn't know lol he said its not the year you were born or the year you died, it's the dash between the two numbers. Why? Because that's everything you lived for. That was so deep, this is when I knew *this man would be mine forever!* I'm so blessed!!

Finally, we had dinner at chili's! It was such a long date I was super exhausted from being in the car most of the time, am I complaining?? Hell no! This date is the best ever! No other date of ours will ever top it!

It doesn't end there though! We come home and he massages me and we talk and cuddle and I totally knocked out! About two hours later he wakes me up.. I'm so ugly right now and my eyes are completely red, I get up and on my dresser is a teddy bear that says, "be mine", hot cheeto puff and coke (my pregnancy cravings), and 2 heart shaped boxes of chocolate.. Wondering why there's 2? Well, one is mine and the other is our unborn daughter! I look at him and I cry, I never knew a man could be so thoughtful and caring! I was so amazed at how our date turned out!! 

This man has gone through hell to be with me, he is my angel in disguise and one of my greatest blessings! I will love him forever!!
