Valentines Adventures!!!!

So for Valentines this year I decided I wanted it to last longer than one day. I started thinking of all sorts of fun things I could do for Chris up until Valentines Day. At first I was thinking of "The 14 Days of Valentines"...that's a lot of creativity and I couldn't think of that many things. Then I decided to do "The 7 Days of Valentines". I almost made it to 7 but ended up with about 5 days is all. Which is still pretty great, I think!

Day 1: Love Letter.....This was my favorite one. It was so fun to just sit down and write the longest love letter I have ever written. It really made me stop and think why I really love Chris!
Day 2: Breakfast.....Mornings are kinda quick at our home. We try our hardest to make breakfast and be healthy but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Well, this particular morning I got up a little early and made scrambled eggs and toast (one of Chris' favorites). I wanted to write on the eggs 'I love you!' with something but couldn't figure out what to use that Chris would like, so I used picnik instead and wrote it on there after.
Day 3: Balloons!!!!!! I love balloons and so this seemed like a great idea. I was going to have them delivered to his work but put them on the steps just outside the door. I attached them to a bag of sweethearts and wrote a cute little message using the title and the decoration on the bag..."Chris, you are my sweetheart and my true love. Love, Shayla". Later Chris told me he was walking up to the house thinking 'I wonder what Shayla did for me today'. I never told Chris about my plan but he sure did catch on. It's been so fun!!! I think my favorite part about this one is the heart balloon...it says 'Hoo loves you?' with a cute little owl on it...Love it!!!!
Day 4: Heart Shaped Pancakes.....I wanted to this breakfast just for the sake of good memories. A year ago on Valentines day my apartment and Chris' apartment got together to make pink, heart shaped pancakes. So I kept the tradition going and added pink milk. A wonderful way to start Valentines!
Day 5: Candy gram.....I love candy grams!!! The whole time I was writing this I was laughing so hard. It's just a fun, crazy, happy thing that makes me laugh!!!!! I hope Chris likes it as much as I do :)
So that's my 5 Days of Valentines. I have one more adventure but that will have to be posted later because we haven't done it yet.

Onto Valentines Day......
Chris is so wonderful. I knew he was planning something but I had no idea what. I had to call him and let him know I was on my way so he could finish preparations and I kinda came home early...not on purpose though :) As I am walking home from work, I was thinking of all the things that he could have done. As I get to the side door there was a little trail of rose petals going up the steps to the door. I open the door and see this.....
I was so excited and hugged him to death....almost! He is the most thoughtful, sweetest husband ever! Inside the heart shaped origami was a little present...tickets to the Bar J Wrangler concert...{squeal in delight!!!} I love the Bar J Wranglers and I can't wait for Chris to experience this!
After dinner we danced in the kitchen (I love doing this!) to George Straight "Cross My Heart". My heart melted for the millionth time in one day. He is so sweet! His last little gift to me was a love letter also. I'm pretty sure I have the most amazing husband EVER!!!!!!
He even put chocolate on the table....he sure loves me! :)
And one last picture.....a wonderful Valentines Day!!!!! True love that will last forever!!!!!
