Valentines Day
Some people are not huge fans of Valentines Day, but I must say that I really like it. Of course, I like anything that enables me to spend special time with Matt, and I guess I will admit that I also kind of like the spoiling that he showered me with. As fun as the flowers and chocolate and gifts were though nothing meant more to me than spending our whole evening together. I'm thankful for a husband that I can have fun with and spend a whole evening with and still at the end of the night not get enough of him.
I'm so thankful that God keeps growing my heart for Matt. Each little milestone we hit makes me realize more and more why God brought Matt into my life. As I look back to my life before Matt I think of the different directions my life could of gone in choosing/finding a husband and am amazed at how God so graciously turned my heart to Matt. God uses Matt to continually expose sin in my life and bring me closer to Him. What more could a gal want/need than a husband that is helping his wife become more like Christ....? I am a slow learner with a long way to go, but that doesn't stop me from praising God for Matt! =)
Notice the big package with Christmas paper with an unwrapped portion of it......my husband is so cute! Haha...It was beautiful to me.
I made a mexican lasagna off Pioneer Woman for dinner. As I got all the different things mixed together for the lasagna I realized that I had made a mistake in judging how big of a recipe I was making. Literally I had enough lasagna ingredients to feed a family reunion. After I filled a huge casserole dish with as much as I could pack in I still had about half of my ingredients left. Haha. I guess we will need to have some company over sometime soon to help us eat it.
I got Matt a Garmin GPS. Some of our most tense moments in our marriage stem from getting lost or making a wrong turn. I thought that this might help out some. :)
Usually we always open the card before the gift, but this time Matt instructed me to open the gift before the card. I did and it was a lovely lamp to put in a dark corner in our living room. I then opened the card and it read this.....
"For your main valentine gift, I decided to combine it with an anniversary gift. I almost planned and decided on my own, but ended up deciding that it would be more fun to choose with you. Therefore, my final gift to you is......................you have to come get it out of my pocket. :)"
So I reached in to his pocket and pulled out another card that read.....
"A one week honeymoon to celebrate 2 years of marriage and God's faithfulness in our lives! :)"
Whooooot Whoooot! Like I said he spoiled me and was very romantic at the same time.
I think I will always remember this Valentines Day. :)
