Valentines Love

Now that Matthew has started his own business (don't worry, that will also make the blog...one day), we have had fewer date nights due to our busy schedules and our attempt at sticking to a budget! However, Valentines Day came and we both kind of decided that a date together was long overdue. I think our last was on our anniversary in November. So I arranged for our awesome babysitter (aka "Nana") to come by early so we could beat the crowds.

It was a lovely evening filled with stories, laughs, and tears. Yes, I said tears! For as long as I've known Matthew he's never been the real sentimental mushy type and is more likely to buy a card that has a bit of humor then one that has a romantic poem. It's not that he can't express himself emotionally. No, I think it's quite the opposite in fact. I think that beneath the tough exterior, he is such a big teddy bear that if he said what he truly felt, we'd both be sobbing. So while at dinner, I went to Facebook to post a picture because yes, I am that girl who updates her status about ten times a day and "check's - in" anywhere we go. Facebook is addiction número uno but pinterest is a very close second. Anyway, before I can upload my picture I see a post from Matthew- who NEVER gets on Facebook and his addiction is to the History channel and learning wilderness survival skills! It was a perfectly romantic sappy expression of how he felt with still adding in some humor.

I love that man! I am so relieved I took our picture together first before seeing that post because I'm sure I had mascara everywhere! Here we are:
