Valentine's Day 2013

This was definitely a different kind of Valentine's day. I had no idea what to get Spencer. I mean, what to do you buy a guy for this lovey dovey holiday? I decided to wake up early in the morning and make him pink waffles. That shows the love, right?? Well, he woke up to get ready for work (at like 6 mind you) and got in the shower. I got up and started making waffles. Unfortunately for me, he has started taking faster showers so he got out before I was done. He just looked at me really sad and said, "You made breakfast when you weren't supposed to." Well there went THAT! He had planned out this really cute and nice breakfast of french toast cut in the shape of a heart and strawberries. He was somehow going to try to get chocolate milk pink (I don't like strawberry milk) and got up really early so he could do it. I totally ruined his surprise!! :( Just the fact that he thought and planned this all out meant a ton to me though because he doesn't do stuff like that very often so when he does, I know it's special. He left for work and I started in on his next surprise. I told him I had one but he probably wouldn't want me to do it because it was a bit expensive. He told me to do it but not tell him what it was. I planned a night at the Hyatt Place next to the San Tan mall. I thought it would be so fun to go swimming, hang out, get out of our disastrous house (more on that later) and just spend some us time together. I picked him up from work and started heading that direction. He had no idea what was going on. We got by the mall and I asked him which he would rather eat at: In N Out or Panda Express. He chose Panda so that is where we had our Valentine's dinner...Romantic eh?? :) I then proceeded to drive to the hotel. Spencer was really confused. I had packed our bag and put it in the trunk so he couldn't see. I got out, opened the back, grabbed the bag and told him to come on. We went in and got the key to our room and the night began! I asked him if he was mad (it was a pretty expensive night away from home). He said if I would have told him before-hand he probably would have been but because it was a surprise he loved it. That doesn't make sense at all makes total sense! I told him that I felt like we needed a night away. We wouldn't really be able to do anything for our anniversary next month and we didn't really do anything for Valentine's day either. He loved it :). We decided to go swimming *note to self: when booking a hotel, make sure it actually says INDOOR pool rather than just assume* It was FrEeZiNg cold and we lasted all of about 4 minutes. We went inside and decided to just hang out. We watched American Idol and just got to spend time together. He went in late to work the next day by like two hours so we could get up in the morning and not be rushed. We got breakfast in the little dining room at the hotel and he got ready for work. All in all, it was a really fun day. Even though it wasn't what I expected and it was a bit spur of the moment, I loved every minute. I love my husband more than everything and I love spending time with him, even if it's just watching TV in a bigger bed than ours. I love that he is willing to let me be a bit spontaneous and doesn't get mad when I want to do lovey dovey things. I am so happy to be married to him and to be having his baby! We are about to hit our one year mark and I can't believe how fast the past year has gone. Many more to come!! Happy (belated) Love day everyone!
