Valentine's Day 2014

The hubs and I love celebrating everything. Why not?? Valentine's Day is just another excuse for us to celebrate us and our relationship and this is our 4th Valentine's Day together. We believe that appreciating each other all the time is important (which is why we continue to "date" each other daily with notes, surprises, and cards), but Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love. So we do! We've been keeping it pretty simple, but since the hubs always spoils me and "one-ups" me, I surprised him this year!

The hubs had to be at work early, so he woke me up before he left. I put on my red (we were supposed to wear red to work for our Valentine's Day Dance marathon to raise money for the Iowa Children's hospital). Around 10 am, in walked one of our secretaries with a gorgeous vase of flowers. Not going to lie...I love getting flowers at work! My hubby is the sweetest. My kiddos thought it was pretty sweet too. Some of my favorite quotes: "Who are those from?" "They're from Mr. Bishop...duh." "That was a very loving gift!" Haha those little ones crack me up! 

 We had our Valentine's Day party, passed out Valentines, read our Valentines, and headed on down to the Dance Marathon. And yes, I stayed for a while and danced with the kiddos. The hubs even got a text from the Baby saying, "Happy Valentine's Day! I love you Daddy!"

I headed home quickly after work and Brad got home around the same time. We both changed, headed to the gym, got in a good workout, and then headed back home to get ready for our date! The hubs got his surprise and was pretty happy about it! We had dinner reservations at one of our favorite spots, Montage at 8 pm. We walked in the door and sat right down. Yum! This momma enjoyed every bite of her un-healthy dinner and so did the hubs! We headed home after dinner, ate our Scratch cupcake that the hubs had picked up and that was that. Easy, simple, and sweet Valentine's Day ~ our last one without kids!!

Happy Valentine's Day y'all. Hope it was filled with wonderful memories!
