Our valentines day was perfect. It was sweet and simple, just the way we both like it. We both had the day off which was fantastic. We slept in together past 7am which we rarely get to do. Weekdays we are both off to work and school and weekends Scott is at work or we are heading to church. It was so nice to not have an alarm clock! We did some of the routine activities around the apartment- dishes, Scott had to send in time sheets to work yada yada yada. Then we decided that instead of trying to deal with the crazy people trying to get dinner, we would do lunch. I hopped in the shower and when I got out, Scott was nowhere to be found. I called him, but no answer. Hmm... A few minutes later he walked through the front door with a beautiful bouquet of pink roses, a card and my favorite candy. The card was so funny and he wrote the most thoughtful note in it, I teared up. We then headed out and dropped my car off at an auto shop to get 4 new tires put on. Happy Valentines day to me, I got car tires! Just kidding... but really. Our lunch destination was none other then Rubys on the pier in HB where it all started 6 1/2 years ago. We've eaten there a lot and each time we go I am flooded with so many memories. There was no wait which was awesome and the weather was beautiful which was another plus. After lunch we walked around Main street and then took a scenic drive down PCH. It was all so simple and things we've done before but yesterday it all felt so special. I was having so much fun just being next to Scott and not really having a plan or a time frame, we were just going with the flow. Next, we decided to go see The Vow. Well, I decided and Scott agreed :) The movie was good, pretty much what I expected based on the previews, but there were some things that really stood out to me. (More on the movie later) After the movie we picked up my car and had a lovely night at home.
All in all, a great holiday spent with the one I love most. Nothing grand or over the top. Just love. That's one thing I am slowly learning in our married life. The past few holidays I have stressed and agonized over what we were going to do, the gifts, my outfit, meals, etc. This time I sent Scott a text a few weeks ago and said "how about we don't have a plan or do gifts. Lets just have a day of us?" He agreed and I think it took the stress off and made us really just appreciate us and our time together. This isn't to say that gifts are dumb or a big planned date isn't great, because I love both of those things a lot, but this Valentine's day it was nice to keep it sweet and simple :)
