Happy Valentine's Day!!

We had a great Valentines day.  Truly, other than the 13 hour chaotic work day on 4 hours of sleep and Raymond having an equally crazy day, it was great.  Monday night we decided to start celebrations since we were anticipating a long day on the "actual" day so we had a yummy dinner at home.  I gave Raymond a couple cool Browning Knifes (including a flip saw blade that is like six inches and MEAN looking...I think I love it more than him), Transformers 3 and Thor on Blue Ray, an completely endearing card...and since he was craving a snack while watching Thor he got what was supposed to be his morning surprise!!  I got him some donuts, chocolate milk and made him a deck of cards with "52 Reasons That I Love You"...he seemed to be pretty happy and would never tell me otherwise if he were not!

Raymond surprised me with this GIANT Vermont Teddy Bear which I love!  It came with a cute card saying he needed the biggest bear to show me just how much he cares.  It is the softest, biggest, most perfect bear.  Neither of us are big on stuffed animals but I sure love this bear...who is yet to be named.  And look at him...he is HUGE!  4.5 feet tall to be exact! Raymond assured me that was my only surprise and I was great with just that but when I woke up at 4:30 am the next morning to get ready for work I thought it was weird Ray's alarm went off as well.  When I got out of the shower I found him working hard at a DELICIOUS breakfast and these gorgeous roses on the table and an incredibly perfect card. Once again he assured me that was the end of his charm...but as I returned home from work I found an AMAZING steak, grilled asparagus and mashed potato dinner.

I am married to such an incredible man.  Really, this was the most either of us had ever done for V-Day but we both admitted we really had a fun time planning and executing surprises for one another and making a conscious effort to show each other how much we care. I love this man and his charm today and everyday...and even the days he seems to have run straight out of charm...I would still take him in a heartbeat!! 

I had to put on a picture of the shipping box because I thought it was so CUTE!
