Our First Valentine's Day...

Happy Valentine's Day...For Valentine’s Day, John text me this cute quote.  "I've been scared of a lot of things, but I have never been scared of loving you..."  (I know it is kind of cheesy, but I
LOVE cheese.)  He kept sending me quotes throughout the day.  Here are some of the quotes he sent:

“There is no remedy for love other than to love more.”

“Love is a mental disease.”  - Plato

“A loving heart is the truest wisdom.”

“Love:  a temporary insanity curable by marriage.”

“The love we give away is the only love we keep.”

“It’s how you make me smile when I never even wanted to laugh.”

I left work at 2:00pm to make sure that everything was ready to go for our fun night together.  I had EVERYTHING perfect!  I told John that he could be in charge of my birthday and I would be in charge of Valentine's Day.  I was sooooo excited all day long for our night and to see him.  This is how our night went.  John came over around 5:45pm.  I blindfolded him and drove up South Fork Canyon, up Provo Canyon.  (This is the same location that we spent our third date.  We went up there and laid a blanket down and he held me while I rested.)  I wanted this Valentine’s Day to be a great first one that he would remember.  I left him in the car and had to go with plan B (someone had already claimed my plan A location).  I set up a fire, lit some candles, set out the chair, got the food ready and went and grabbed him.  I had him open up his eyes as we got to the location and turned on the music.  (I made a play list that had a bunch of love songs on it and brought up the portable speakers.)  He kind of had to help me get the fire going again, because it went out when I went to get him in the car.  There was snow everywhere.  It was super cold, and just as wintry as you could imagine.  His present from me was a card from me and a double seated camping chair.  He loves camping, but doesn’t love the chairs.  They don’t allow him to sit close enough to me and they are uncomfortable.  I got him that chair so we can always sit close to each other and be comfortable.  He LOVED it so much!  I put blankets under us and then we covered ourselves in blankets and ate some yummy Cheesy Pizza Pasta Salad I made along with strawberries and tomatoes.  Then I got him a smore’s cooker as well.  We made some smore’s and he cooked them over the fire on his new little smore’s rack.  It was soooo much fun!  The music set the mood perfectly.  It was really cold, but we cuddled all night long.  We kissed, talked and just enjoyed each other’s company.  We also danced a little.  He knows I love to dance, and that is why I made the play list.  It got cold though, so we didn’t dance for too long.  We are going to dance on my birthday.  We watched the stars and just enjoyed being together.  I just LOVE my man so much!  I wanted him to feel special.  Earlier that day I had gone up to that location to make sure things were set up perfectly.  I found some heart shaped rocks and laid them out on a big rock up there.  I took John over to the big rock next to the location where we first spent our time together.  It is where he found our very first heart shaped rock for my mom.  We have never picked up a rock in that location for us before.  I let John choose which heart shaped rock he liked the most and wanted to use for our Valentine’s rock.  He chose one and then we took it home with us.  It was such a perfect night.  We paused and looked at the stars.  They were so bright out there.  The moon was a little sliver of a crescent and it was just a gorgeous and clear night.  I had such a perfect night with the perfect man.  He told me he loved me so many times.  When we were sitting in our chair, I could feel him staring at me.  I asked him what he was doing.  He just looked at me and said, “I’m just looking at my future wife!”  When he said that, it sent a little electricity through my body.  So cute!  I love how adorable John is.  We did have a wonderful night.  He is excited to plan next year’s Valentine’s Day.  Everyone at his work the next day asked what he did.  He told everyone and they were so impressed what I did for John.  They thought I was so sweet and told him how lucky he is to have me.  They all thought it was so romantic.  I asked him if he told them what he did for me…because that is just as equally cute!  When he got to my house last night, he gave me my present. He had gone to

Michael’s and got this cute little jewelry box.  It is small and precious.  He sanded it down and stained it and he also used a little tool to burn words into it.  The top of the box said, “Guess Who’s Beautiful” in cursive.  Then you open the little top of the box and it is a little mirror on the other side.  On one side of the mirror it says, “You” and the other side it says, “Are” then along the top it says, “ILY” which stands for I Love You!  Then there is a little drawer that slides out.  On the bottom outside of the drawer he wrote me a little

message saying “Cheli, I hope this is the first of many Valentine’s Days we get to share together.  I love you!   Johnny”  I love my man.  He took a LOT of time to do that box.  He was so cute to put it all together and spend so much time doing it.  I was so impressed.  I absolutely LOVE it!  The time he put into it means so much to me.  He is just such a sweetheart!  Today he sent me this cute text.  “Hey Sweetie!  I was just

thinking of you and want you to know that I really love and appreciate you so much!  I am so lucky to have you in my life!”    Then he called me and told me how much he loved me and how much last night meant to him.  I LOVE that we have each other in our lives.  We are both very blessed.  I know we will always love one another.
