Classic St. Valentines Day Conundrum

Ok so here's the thing, I have had every view of Valentine's day that's even possible! I've been a V-Day hater (being 14 is rough). I've been a sappy engaged 19 year old living 2 hrs from her finance (that was a whinny year). I even remember having been a happy go lucky 3rd grader; just hoping that my classmates gave me good candy hooked to my generic Valentines in my decorated box. And now I've spent it as a newly-wed! This year totally wins!

Waylon is always so good at Valentines Day! This is the 5th year I've been lucky enough to call him my Valentine. He always gets me gorgeous flowers and the most heartfelt cards. I have a tendency to suck terribly at Valentines Day, like worse than you can really even imagine. I'm terrible at cards, completely forgetting to get one half of the time. Basically I'm saying I'm the luckiest girl to have him.

Waylon got me some gorgeous roses and took me shopping for new boots (he noticed mine are totally trashed) down in Ogden. I had told Waylon I wanted to try the Timbermine Steak house down that way and my parents decided to join us. It was delicious and I love that Waylon and my parents are good enough buddies that we could double on Valentines Day. I made desert and it only took about 3 months of not so subtle hinting for me to finally make Waylon's favorite Oreo pie. It was a great Valentines Day.

So even though it's 3 days later I still love my Valentine. He's still the sweetest, cutest, most love-able, and amazing guy I've ever met let alone loved! I'm blessed beyond believe.

My Fantastic Forever Valentine

February Thus Far

So I've pretty much decided that my goal is to blog once or twice a month and that anything else is a bonus. It's very important that goals be realistic ;)

February is a less favorite month of mine, I only enjoy the winter, snow, and cold as it's leading up to Christmas and New Years so my spring fever starts about mid January. That being said I am trying not to be such a mopey Molly.

I do love Valentines Day and I'm pretty excited for my first one with a husband. In the 5 years that Waylon and I have known each other we've only gotten to spend one Valentines day together. This year I'm so excited I went out and bought a new dress from an adorable little boutique. It's pretty flashy and very unlike me but it's adorable and I love it. I bought it while Waylon was at winter workouts so I told him when he came home: "I've bought a dress for Valentines day, so just take that into account as you plan. I'm totally fine with going to McDonald's, just know that I will be a bit over dressed if that's what we do"

Every single year I've had the most difficult time with what to get him for Valentines Days. Boys are hard to shop for! This year I decided to get him a little present for the 14 days leading up to Valentines day. I put cheesy little notes on them and stick it somewhere in the house for him to find. It's dorky but so are we! I am still trying to figure out something a little bit better for Friday! It's not hopeless yet.

We've really had a pretty uneventful start to the month. I'm still just hoping for the snow to melt quickly so the golf course can start back up. Not working right now has done miracles for my grades however. We're still waiting anxiously and hoping for Waylon's transfer to day shift to go through. We're hoping for sometime in the beginning of next month. We're also getting geared up for the beginning of the baseball/softball season. I'm so excited to be up here so I can watch Per play and Waylon coach. High School Baseball/Softball is one of my favorites times of the year.

That's all from the Hervey Household for now. Have a Happy rest of your February!
