Thursday, we exchanged good morning texts, as we always have, and then he says, "I have a secret!" I pry a little, but I was sure it involved Valentine's Day. I was thinking it was something along the line of flowers. Initially I thought maybe they were going to be sent to my work, but nope. They were sent to my home, and arrived at 5:40 pm! So I was sitting all day waiting for this "secret" to show itself, and had to wait all day! :) This blue long box arrived, and I received these.
Gorgeous Tulips and Irises. There was a beautiful note as well, making me feel special as he always does.
Valentine's day itself arrives, and I am so excited! I had gotten him some geeky pieces of art for him to hang around his home. I was so excited to give it to him! He arrives to pick me up for our date, and I got to show him the flowers. Then I gave him his present, and he was super excited! He had been mentioning that he wanted to decorate, but felt he didn't know how. I'm so glad I could anticipate what he needed/wanted. I got an awesome hug and kiss for that!
So, we drive up to his apartment, because we decided we were going to stay in! He had been talking about and dropping hints about my present for a week or so, so I was excited to see what it was. He was making it, so I was curious!
He made me a Teddy Bear! I named it Shasta! (Thanks Gina for the suggestion!) Not only was it a teddy bear, but he had also purchased jewelry for me that had my birthstone in it! I don't know that I have received a more thoughtful gift in my adult years!
We then made dinner in, (Steak and green beans) and watched the movie Romantics Anonymous. It was a French film with subtitles. We laughed and really enjoyed that. Shortly before our movie was supposed to end, we get a text from Steve's sister, and so we walked a block to go and visit them, as they were at his brother's place from Tooele. We talked with them and I enjoyed getting to know them better, and see them a little more relaxed around me. We invited them back to Steve's place, to show them my gift to him. Thankfully they loved it too. After they left, we finished our movie, and he brought me home.
It was such a wonderful night. It makes me so grateful that I can have a night in like that with him, and even if there is an interruption in the plans, we both go with it and make the best of it.
A month ago today we decided that we only wanted to date each other. I believe it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love the pace of the relationship, and that we can do nothing and enjoy each other's company. That's a true test in a REAL relationship to me. Because let's be real here. Who goes on elaborate dates every night of the week when you are married? NO ONE!!! So, with that said, I hope there are many more evenings in with Steve, because I really enjoy his company!
Be Happy my friends!
All my love,
Shae
