Valentine's Day 2014

Valentine's Day marked our LAST first holiday as a married couple! In just a few short days, we'll be celebrating our first wedding anniversary :)

V-day landed on a Friday this year so we were both at work. Jesse arranged a special surprise for me! He conspired with mom to have her drop some flowers off for me at work. I have never gotten flowers at work before! 


When I got home from work, Jesse had another surprise for me. I walked into our bedroom to find a big ol' hippo and some candy. 


I think it's tough to get gifts for men for Valentine's Day so I did what I do best, I scoured the internet. I found this cute thing to put together for him...


He's no millionaire but he did win $2 haha We finished our day with a pizza night in cuddled on the couch!

We decided to celebrate with a date on Saturday. We went to Alamo Drafthouse to see Lone Survivor. We ate hamburgers and devoured some delicious chocolate chip cookies! Let me just say, that was one super intense movie. I could hardly stand to watch knowing that these men went through this, actually much worse I imagine. I was intrigued so on the way home we stopped by the bookstore and picked up a copy of Lone Survivor. I've read a quarter of it and it's fantastic! I just want to know more about Marcus Luttrell and his story. I can't even imagine being in that situation. It is absolutely insane to think of all he went through, physically and emotionally, and that he made it home. I can only imagine the struggles he still faces.

We finished the weekend with an anniversary photo shoot with Bethany (our wedding photographer). We met at the San Marcos outlet malls and had some fun. Bethany is so good at what she does and makes us feel completely at ease. She's posted a couple of sneak peeks already and we LOVE them :)


And for Bethany's viewing pleasure, our big ol' Valentine!
