Valentine's Day!

I looked forward to this day for so long. After planning ideas on Pinterest, I finally took out a pen & paper, and mapped out what I would be doing for Jearen this year for Valentine's Day. I must be a party planner deep at heart, because I loved getting all the details nailed down and figuring out ways to make each thing special.

This year I made clues that lead to four rooms in our house. Being that we bought our house back in July, I wanted to incorporate it into the date. Last year I transformed our little apartment patio, so having an entire house to decorate was so exciting to me.

For dinner I made buffalo chicken sliders from a recipe on allrecipes.com. It was DELICIOUS and my husband told me I needed to make this a staple in our dinner menu. That alone made me feel like a champ! We played The Newlywed Game thanks to a free printable online. Then I showered him with a few gifts, including a photobook I made online and ended the night watching a movie on Netflix.

I loved doing all this for my man. I got so giddy to surprise him with a night at home. I felt so loved just knowing what a great man he has always been to me. I wasn't expecting any gifts or flowers, but this sweet guy surprised me with a Diana F+ lomography camera. HE was so excited for me to has this camera. He is such a good gift giver.

Now that Valentine's is over, my goal is to continue to do sweet surprises for Jearen just because! Thank goodness for Pinterest! Always keeping me on my toes to be creative!
