HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!


I GOT MY BALLOONS! HOPE YOU DID TOO!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!!


MORE LATER~~


Every Valentine’s Day I always ask “for the classics” when Mike asks what I want. Important in the following order:

  1. BALLOONS!!!! HEART SHAPES PREASE!!
  2. FLOWERSSSSSSS~ any will do!
  3. I can has chocolate??

This year all I really wanted was balloons and maybe flowers and Mike DID NOT disappoint! He even got me a little rose bush instead of a bouquet! HE KNOWS ME SO WELL!!! Since I’m confident with keeping roses now, I’m excited to see these continue to live on the way my birthday ones from my parents have! Those are currently outside though, weathering the winter freeze, so now I have some roses for indoors!! :noki4: I also got a huge box of Godiva chocolates and he got me a glass tea pot and a crap-load of blooming teas! *spoiled*



I stuffed a few tea blossoms into the teapot haha

For Mike’s gift I made him his favorite banana bread muffins from scratch. It doesn’t sound like much but let me just point out that Mike says I have “recipe dyslexia” so me baking is a real triumph AND they turned out well! Despite me, as always, f’ing up the recipe as best as possible. ~sigh~ *so stressful cooking*


he made heart-shaped pancakes this morning

We kept things pretty low-key actually. Like usual. We never give crazy expensive gifts or make reservations at some posh restaurant. We typically stay in or go out for lunch. Tonight we did go to see a movie (Slumdog Millionaire; it was phenomenal btw) and decided to hit up a restaurant sans reservations. We actually got sat right away too even though it was super busy and nearly everyone had reservations *yay* and I even got a free rose there *awe how nice, hahah* So everything worked out lovely!

I’ve always liked Valentine’s Day. Even the years I was single~ I mean. I grew up with my Dad always getting me a little something. Usually a balloon and cinnamon candy hearts. Then there were always the friends~ we’d exchange goofy chocolate gifts and cards I like the holiday~ sure it’s commercial and makes some people feel so much unnecessary pressure. But I think if taken in the right doses and not over-hyped it’s a cute little holiday to help brighten up the slump of winter months

Forgot to say this! I really like what you said at the end of your post. About doing the little things that help brighten up the holidays. I, myself, believe that the beautiful things in life are the simple things

I’m glad you had a wonderful Valentine’s! And those gifts are so cute and sweet~

I’ve never liked Valentine’s very much. When I grew up, people who were single didn’t really bother doing much out of Valentines. I think it’s a bigger thing in the states than it is in Norway. Even couples don’t do much of the day :p So for the past few years I’ve always sort of ‘forgotten’ that it was even Valentines. But this year I couldn’t escape the overflow of Valentine’s EVERYWHERE Haha. A little sad

But I really like the first picture of you and the balloons~! So cute!
