i LOVE love

I  love love. I love being in love. And I love celebrating love! Even the 20 years of being single on v-day before I met Ryan, I always have loved it! Valentines Day is another excuse to celebrate and I am ALWAYS looking for reasons to celebrate! Like Ryan's promotion this Thursday... celebrate! Me putting in my two weeks notice to carinos... CELEBRATE!!!


Valentines Day (well Sunday when we celebrated v-day) was perfect! Ryan had been out of town all weekend on a hunting trip so I had lots of time to my self to prep. I made Ryan's favorite roast, potatoes and corn (best sunday dinner ever) and my favorite asparagus and chocolate covered strawberry's mmmm. I went a little construction paper crazy and cut out tons of red and white hearts and used thread to string them down from the ceiling all around the dinning room table. Ryan's letter was also construction paper lots of shapes and sizes of colorful paper and stuck to my big magnet board. I had way to much fun making it. I got Ryan candy (and then ate it all opps) and Call of Duty Black Ops. If thats not love then I don't know what is! I just had it sitting on the table I was too lazy to wrap it but it took him sooo long to ever see it, then finally WHAT?!? Black Ops? hehe it was funny. Ryan got me well actually us tickets to go see CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: ALEGRIA that is going to be in Corpus this weekend. Whao I am so excited! I especially liked this gift because it extends the celebrating into this weekend! Ryan also wrote me the sweetest letter ever, he is so good at that. And my sweet parentals give me a adorable necklace and Ryan a giftcard, I love them and hate not being able to call them all the time right now. Actual v-day love was substituted for angry/ mean people, ya I worked. I can't believe how extra angry people were on such a happy day. Anyways pictures.

I hope you all had a LOVEly Valentines day! 

meet me in the middle

and apparently it hearts me too.

French toast for lunch.

Last piece was heart shaped.

Church Responds to HRC Petition

A great reminder that the LDS church is based on love, the church's persecution in it's early years, and the church's stance on same-sex attraction.

R + W = loooove

love letter

Ryan and I like leaving each other little notes around the house when we might not see each other for a while, I guess you could call them love letters. They were quite frequent last fall in d.c. because our schedules were so opposite lucky now we see each other lots but that means less letters.

I love Ryans letters they are always on lined paper in black pen and always make me smile. I save them all he is so good with words.I am not so good with words so mine or usually a little different, they are random shapes and colors and short but sometimes there are lots of them :) When i went to Europe i hid twenty i love you notes all over our apt for Ryan to find while I was away some harder then others so he would not find them all the first day. He found them all except for the one in the microwave, yes the microwave he did not use it for two and half weeks!

Anyways what reminded me of love letters is i got one today, ry's out of town and it was on the fridge when i got home from work and it made my day.

So sense I wont be home when he gets back tomorrow i left him a note, we will see if he finds it i tried to put it in a spot that was not too hard.

ta-da
