Valentine's Day


Well, I have never been much of a Valentine's day person. Evan and I have always done something, but when the restaurant was open, we would just always celebrate on the closest Monday to Valentine's. Last year he wined and dined me and got a hotel downtown so that we didn't have to drive. I seriously had no idea what to expect this year because I told him not to spend a lot of money. But he doesn't listen to me...

Prepare for a long-winded story...
So I had a long weekend. He kept telling me that on Friday he needed me to pick up some paper work at 3:30. Ok ok...I kept telling him. He told me it was some paper work on some motors he was trying to sell. So whatever, Friday morning comes and he is all giddy and I am about to slap him because I am trying to sleep in (I am a mean wife...I know this). So he tells me I need to also go pay his Blue Cross bill b/c he couldn't find the bill he got in the mail and not to be late to pick up that paperwork at 3:30. I told him on his day off I would make a list of errands for him to run ( I know, I'm not a morning person so I tend to be a bitch)
So 3:15 rolls around and he calls..."are you on your way..." Of course I was, and I was getting a bit annoyed with the fact that he thought I wouldn't remember. He had also left me a note on my purse. So I pull up at the place and can't find Suite F. I called him and I had a headache and was annoyed and was like, "There is no suite F, what is the business name" He said he didn't know...this goes on for a few minutes then he says there should be a cursive sign above the door. I asked if it was "Restorative Body Therapies" and he said yes. I was like, you said you didn't know the name of the business (it didn't click that that had nothing to do with motors). He finally told me he had gotten me a surprise pregnancy massage. I felt bad for being mean all day...but then I was like crap, Evan, I haven't even taken a shower today! Haha...I got over it though and enjoyed my massage. It was a wonderful treat. I really do have a wonderful husband who puts up with my crap more than he should. I know I don't deserve him.
So Saturday, he took me out to dinner at Terra Nostra and got a hotel at the Staybridge Suites. He said he just wanted me to relax and not worry about cleaning the house or anything. Once again...why he puts up with my bitchiness sometimes...I don't know. I guess since his son is growing in my uterus he has more tolerance these days. But let's be honest...I've always been a bit moody!
So we enjoyed a nice evening out and slept in a bit Sunday, then had a yummy breakfast at the hotel. It was a great way to spend the weekend.

Sunday we headed to Home Depot to get paint for the baby's room, and Monday I painted the 3 walls blue. It is going to look great when it gets finished. Hopefully this week we will tape off the 4th wall to paint the multi-colored squares. I had ordered a sheet from babygap that was my inspiration for the colors, and it came today and matched perfectly. I am so excited to see it all come together!

Great story and what a great guy you are married to! I loved pregnancy massages. I actually had one the day before Ada arrived. Perfect timing, right?

Love Lucas' nursery and can't wait to see updated belly shots (only time in life belly shot is mentioned and people don't automatically think bar...or maybe they do, cause I did)!
