Valentines Day 2014

Perfection. That is the only word I can think of to describe our Valentines Day experience. I have never experienced a more amazing day. (Aside from our wedding day  O B V I O U S L Y ! ) It started out like any normal day. Wake up, change, go potty, take Michael to work. You know, the usual. While walking out the door, Michael stops me and claims he "forgot his wallet." So he ran back up stairs to get it. Then, off to school we went. When I got home, I walked in the door to see this...  

Story Time: A week earlier, Michael and I had decided to walk 25th street for like the 20th time, and explore the antique shops yet again. While my favorite store, I came across this window! I absolutely fell in love with it and was so heart broken to have to pass it up. Shock. Shock is what I felt when I saw this beautiful window sitting on our couch. He really surprised me with this one. 

T H E N !  As if that wasn't enough, I go into the Bathroom and see this beautiful message:

Again, I was completely blown away by his thoughtful message! AND as if that wasn't enough, I went to get onto the computer to write on my other blog when the first thing that popped up was this:

Michael had "forgotten" his wallet just so he could surprise me with all of these sweet messages! I was floating on a cloud all day while he was at school! I thought this was the most thoughtful thing a man could have ever done. 

When Michael did finally come home, we had decided to give presents. I was absolutely bursting to give him his present! I had been collecting it for months, and if any of you know me, I am not any good at keeping a surprise. Especially from Michael so I was so relieved and excited to finally be able to give him his CDs. In high school, all of his CDs were stolen out of his car, and he has always wanted to be able to rebuild his collection. So... I collected half of it. 

It doesn't look like a lot, but the bands that I got multiple CDs of were stacked up. I got him a total of 23 CDs! He was so happy!

Then it was my turn. I had no idea what to expect because he had already done so many kind things for me that day! He had me close my eyes and wait for him to bring out my gift. He brought out a  S E W I N G   M A C H I N E ! That was the last thing I expected! I was so happy I literally started crying. I know that happens all the time, but I couldn't help it! It meant so much to me! I immediately grabbed some fabric and went to work figuring it out! 

My favorite part of this present is the note he wrote on it to stay forever. Michael has always has such an amazing way of expressing himself and that is one of the things I fell in love with first. I told him even if this sewing machine breaks, I am keeping it forever. I have never felt more spoiled. 

Then it was off to Olive Garden for dinner. Look at that handsome man! 

After dinner we retired to our home for some Wii and a little Indiana Jones. A perfect way to spend a day celebrating our unconditional and eternal love. This man makes me feel like something I've never felt before. Being married to Michael has helped me learn more things about myself that I probably should have learned years ago. He makes my entire world better. I will always be forever grateful for that night at Betos 2 years ago. I will never forget the 7 days it took for me to know I wanted to be his forever. I love you Michael Linley.
