Kristie started off the Valentines fun by surprising me on Thursday night. She claimed that she needed the car for work, so she dropped me off and picked me up at 5:00. When I got in the car she told me that she needed to swing by the house so that she could pick up a computer cord and take her friend’s house. So we headed over to Alpine Village and she had me wait in the car while she ran up to grab it. About ten minutes later she calls and says “hey, look in the glove compartment” and hung up the phone. A little confused, I opened it up and found a note instructing me to park and come on upstairs. When I arrived, I found the place all decorated, with my favorite dinner on the table by candlelight! I really married a sweet one.
On Valentines, Kristie had to work during the day and then got to a basketball game–so I had plenty of time to plan some fun stuff for that evening. I spent most of the day running errands, and then picked her up at the marriot center with a dozen red roses.
I swept her up quick so we could jump in the car and head up to Park City, where I made reservations to eat at our favorite Thai restaurant (the one we ate at the night we got engaged). For dinner, we went all out, and the food and desserts were delicious. I gave her a few gifts during the course of the evening, like bottle of Dolce and Gabanna’s Light Blue and some [essential] hand-crafted truffles.
When we got home, she found the house as I’d decorated it, with valentines baloons, and a hundred-or-so cutout paper hearts with a hundred-or-so reasons why I love her written on them. To my credit, I got to about heart #97 before succombing to my natural character and writing “[insert witty, romantic compliment here].”
We then settled into a good film, Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It was our first Valentines married, so I didn’t want to mess this one up…hope next year’s will be as fun.
