Jaime and I have never been big on celebrating Valentine's Day but this year he really surprised me so I thought I'd write a quick note about it. It was on a weekday so I worked all day and I assumed we would just do something on the weekend or just let it pass by as another day of the week.
Throughout the day, I worked on a letter to give to Jaime just to tell him how much I appreciate him and all that he does for me. It was pretty lengthy and took the majority of my "in-between patient time" during the day to write it. When I got home from work, the house was completely dark and I figured Jaime was in the garage working on the Chevelle or Nova. I walked in the front door and the house smelled amazing! It smelled like a hot cooked dinner and scented candles (surprisingly the combined smells wasn't weird). He had cleaned the whole house and had candles lit all over. He had a candlelit dinner all set up for me and blue flowers.
I was kind of in shock but we had a really nice dinner together. Then he brought out a Dairy Queen oreo ice cream cake!! I think I may have squealed in excitement. We had a little bit of dessert and then he told me he wasn't done yet. He told me to head upstairs, there were rose pedals all over the floor leading upstairs and candles lit up to the bedroom (which he cleaned too!!). He had more candles and rose pedals in the bedroom, (I'm so glad he didn't burn the house down with all these candles) and hot oil massage stuff all set up. It was exactly what I needed after the long day at work.
Later we just watched a movie in bed and finished eating most of the ice cream cake. Now my gift seemed super lame, but I gave him his letter which he appreciated. It was definitely a Valentine's Day to remember! The last one I remember we did anything "cool" was back before we got married in 2004. I love him so much and am so proud of who he has become. I'm glad he is my husband and he chose me to be his wife.Jaime and I at Mt. Hood in 2004
