Valentine's Day

 

Russ and I had a fantastic Valentine's Day. We actually celebrated on Saturday since it's slightly inconvenient to celebrate on a weeknight while trying to do homework and study for boards. We planned to go to Sakura Japanese Steakhouse on Saturday night but other than that is was a normal Saturday. Russ went to play basketball at the church like he does every Saturday at 8 and I half expected him to show up with flowers but he didn't. Then he went to wash his car and I thought that was code for Valentine's shopping but he returned with nothing. I started to think that any flowers I might be getting were not coming on Saturday. Finally, he comes in from drying his car and tells me I need to take a shower and he'll finish cleaning the house. I told him I don't want to shower yet because I didn't want to mess up my hair before our date but he insisted. I thought this was slightly suspicious especially since his brother was calling and texting him saying he was leaving his house. So I got in the shower and started imagining what he could be up to. When I got out of the shower nothing was out of the ordinary until I walked into our room and saw the BEAUTIFUL flowers he had got me. He had picked them up from Thanksgiving Point on his way home from work on Friday night and left them at his brothers apartment. He also got me a gift certificate for a massage, which will be much needed when I am done with my board exam. He did a fantastic job of surprising me and nothing I imagined topped the reality! We had a great time at dinner and the food was fantastic. We ended the night falling asleep on the couch while watching a redbox. 

Thanks Russ for making Valentine's Day so special. I love you so much!
