Valentine's Day

This was the first time I had an actual Valentine! I had been looking forward to this day for at least a month, knowing that I'd have a boyfriend. Temple boy came over to my house and we made dinner together. Or rather, I made dinner and Temple Boy stirred a pot.....haha which is fine! We had chicken-provolone ravioli, mushroom marinara, corn and peas (his favorite) and ice water. Not incredibly fancy, but it was very nice, and the ravioli was amazing! I had dressed up, just because this is a day where I get to pretend like I’m a princess with a handsome prince :) Temple boy didn't dress up, but that was also fine. He wore my favorite hoodie :) after dinner and desert (chocolate cake, you can't have valentine's day without chocolate). 

Also, I made Temple Boy a secret message card, that was way to cheesy, plus I was a little bit loopy from lack of sleep when I wrote it. But they say those are your most creative times! Who knows? He seemed to like it, which makes me so very happy.


After dinner, we watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Now this may see silly for two adults to do, but I have always been an avid Harry Potter fan (I'll admit it) and recently Temple Boy has been reading the books for basically the first time. And we've been watching (or trying to, more accurately) the movies as he reads the books. I held his hand, which was nice since I jump at the slightest scary part....yes even in Harry Potter. We made it all the way to the dueling club before he had to leave.


Saying goodbye is getting so much harder! But I've resolved to be better at it, since he has a long drive home, and gets up by 6:00am everyday... (Almost a 45 min drive! I can't believe he does that to see me. I wish I could repay him somehow... if I had a car!)


He made me the sweetest card. It's actually a poem/story, bound with red yarn. It's really cure because he dotted all the "i"s with red hearts. Since I'm a lover of cheesy romantic things, this card was perfect :) especially the end, where he said I was the best valentine's present. Awwwww. He's a sweetheart. And he really means it.


I made my closest friends some valentine cards (in addition to the card I made for my boyfriend), Lord of the Rings themed (we are all nerds! The Gandalf ones said "A Valentine's Day card is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to." The Frodo card says "Sauron's going to be after me, because he knows I've found the ONE." The Pippin card says "I may be a food, but I'm a fool who loves you." the Sauron card says "ONE CARD TO RULE THEM ALL." and the Gollum card says "Will you be my preciousssssss?" of course.

I have yet to deliver some of these cards, but they will be given out!!

All in all, it was the best Valentine's Day I've ever had. I am amazingly lucky for the friends I have who love me :) And family too!!
