It comes as no surprise that I LOVE my husband. He is the best thing that's happened to me, so I try to show my love to him on a daily basis. Being that he is a romantic guy, I am spoiled often by the things he does for me. In three weeks I will be joining him on his work trip in Vegas, so I didn't want him to try to plan anything for me for Valentine's Day. I wanted him to plan our dinners/sight seeing in Vegas :)! I also realized that the past couple of years have included homemade dinners & diy projects to celebrate Valentine's at home. I wanted to keep the tradition going, but add a twist. I love planning things, especially when it's something revolving a date and my man, so I made sure to do just that. My goal was to spend less than $50, and I easily did that. There was a few things that didn't go as planned, but the night was a success regardless. I loved every minute of this, and hope you enjoy our little J & B Adventure.
We started off trying to go back to our very first Vday date 6 years ago, but it had closed down. Bummer! I knew when I tried looking up a website for this place with no success, I should have changed locations. 
Next we went out for chips & dip and thankfully was in & out in no time. We were behind on our schedule of events due to Jearen working late, but with the golf driving range closed & not getting entrees, we were back on schedule!
The next part of the date was probably my favorite. I had no idea trying to buy Jearen a gift for $2 would have been so difficult, and also didn't know Goodwill was going to close 15 mins after we got there, but I was able to find him something. He was so funny. He gave a lady in line his $2 and a brand new stuffed animal and told her to purchase it & meet him outside. I had no idea what was going on until he told me he didn't find anything and then walked out and grabbed something from a stranger. I laughed so hard as I stood in line watching what was taking place outside the store! He's so sneaky! I found him an old Tommy Hilfiger tie & hat from a place that he has a sweatshirt from. He got me a teddy bear that said Hug Me. How fitting! 
Next was dinner at home that I prepared the day before. I didn't want to spend the whole evening in the kitchen, so I prepped ahead. It was yummy! 
I also made Jearen a six pack of Cream Soda that said "Soda, you wanna be my Valentine?!"
For dessert we made Red Velvet Rice Crispy Treats. Easy, Red & took no time at all. 
We ended the night with the last envelope. For Christmas I bought Jearen the first three seasons of Community and so when I realized a fourth season had came out, I had to buy it for him. Thanks, Amazon Giftcard! 
I hope to keep the homemade valentines tradition going. I'm so glad he enjoyed everything and doesn't get annoyed with all of my diy crafts and cheesy lovey dovey stuff. I married the best man for me! :)
