Then I had to go to one class, Marriage and Family, appropriate for the occasion, I think.
Jenna came with me and I loved it. I've missed going to classes with her.
Thanks for coming with me Jenna!
Then the date. Now before I tell you what we did, let me tell you about last year.
2.14.11.
Mike and I went to the zoo and saw all the cute animals. It was a pretty warm day so I didn't even have to wear a coat and I was excited about that. We came back and made lunch and met Ellen and Taylor at the park for the cutest little picnic ever. They were our buddy couples. We were all friends before because of choir and I loved that we started dating at the same times and could do things together.
Then we went back to Taylor's and watched nothing other then Sweet Home Alabama. The best movie. It was so cute. I loved that those boys would let us watch that and watch it with us!
After the movie, Ellen was making dinner for Taylor like good girlfriends do.... so Mike and I weren't sure what to do. We started driving around and talking. He asked what was something I wanted to do before I die. I answered by traveling and going on an adventure. He looked at me and said,
"We're going to Park City."
I freaked out inside a little. I was worried what my parents would say and how long we'd be, what we would do, but I pushed all that aside and agreed and off we went.
It was probably about 7 or 8 when we got there and he said he had a place he wanted to show me. So we drive around and he parks on the side of the street and we start walking. Now remember I didn't bring a coat and Park City is freezing. So he had an extra jacket, I put it on and we start walking through feet of snow. Finally we get to the top of a water tower and you can see all of Park City which is gorgeous by the way.
It was perfect. We just there, freezing out butts off staring at how pretty everything was. Then he says...
"So since today is love day.... "
I knew exactly what he was getting at and I started to get really nervous.
Our of fear, excitement, panic and who knows what I kissed him, totally interrupting his sentence then asked if that answered his question.
"I didn't even ask my question" he replied
I looked at him and then he said,
"Do you love me?"
I quickly nodded and turned into complete panic mode. Never in my life had I said this before and honestly was terrified out it. I could not believe that happened.
He said, "So now if I say it you won't panic?"
I remember saying something so stupid that did not make sense at all and he just laughed. I was in sheer panic.
We walked back down to the car and warmed up and it gave me time to take it all in and calm down. By the time we parked again for dinner I realized what had happened and was thrilled. I was so much happier. Like I didn't have to hide anything from him anymore. We went to dinner, had pizza and then headed back home.
It was a perfect date. So spontaneous, everything went perfectly and I was so giddy.
Now jump forward a year,
2.14.12
He picked me up at about 1230, we exchanged gifts. That cutie got my roses too. My favorite.
Then we were off.
To Park City.
This year, all the way from Logan.
We stopped however at the zoo.
Yes, people we remade our date from last year. :)
The zoo was so much fun. There were a ton of animals out actually and hardly anyone there! It was a blast.
The tiger was sleeping right by the window and it was so cute. I love tigers. and The wolf was right by the fence. Mike loves the wolves. So it was a successful zoo trip.
Then we headed off to Park City. We went to the Outlets and got some cookies then off to Main street. Then we went to Main Street and walked though some of those awesome shops with the most random stuff possible. But it was fun. It was so cold though. We were freezing. Anytime we passed a fire we stopped to put our hands in it. Then we went to the same Pizza place as last year. It was cute. I loved sitting there and just remembering what we did last year. Then we went up to go to the water tower but there was so much snow so we went a little different way but it was still great. I loved standing there remembering where we were a year ago. I just love him. He is the best kid.
On the way home we had such an awesome chat. It was one of my favorite talks we've ever had. And we have some great chats. I bawled my eyes out. It was embarrassing but I was so happy.
You'll hear lots about this chat just not right now.
I"m sure it will take over my life.
Be excited.
Anyway, I love him and am the luckiest girl ever to get to spend two Valentines days together with him. And to have them both be perfect! Thank you Mike!
