Valentine's Day

This year for valentine's day, I decorated our house in an Oriental Theme! He was so surprised when he got home! Here are some pictures:


So here's how the day played out: Doug went to work and I called my friend Stephanie over to help me decorate. She's an engineer so she really helped me when it came to figuring out how to get decorations onto the ceiling. She's a genius. Anywho.. so we decorated and decorated and then I took Stephanie home and came back and I cleaned up the mess we had made. The plan was to have Chinese food waiting for Doug when he got home from work at 3 but the only GOOD place in Rexburg opens at 5 on Saturday, which I did not know until about 2. So when Doug came home I just showed him around the house and then we left to go track down some asian food. We tried going to the local grocery store because they usually have a buffet of Chinese food when you walk near the deli, but all the food was gone!!! So, defeated, we decided to eat at Jimmy John's instead. (I'm sure Doug was happier with this result because he's not a big fan of chinese food). Then we came home and got ready for a stake dance. Then we went to the Dance. It was pretty boring, so we didn't stay for very long, we danced one song together and then went back home and watched the Bing Bang Theory. The day didn't go how I planned it in my head, but I still had an awesome day. :)

Doug's Valentine's day gift to me:
So Doug kept asking me on Saturday, "How am I going to top this?" I told him the only way he could top me was to get me flowers and Hot Cheetos. haha. So on Monday (actual V-day) I came home from school and there was a pretty bouquet of flowers and a bag of hot cheetos sitting on the table. I was so excited!! haha I went in the bedroom to change my clothes and I noticed that Doug had made the bed! What a sweetie. :) Then we went somewhere to eat (probably Jimmy John's again...we really like that place).  After we had eaten Doug dropped me back off at home because he had to go to work. So I sat at home and did my homework. When it was time for bed I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. My curling iron was sitting out on the counter so I opened the drawer to put it away and when I opened the drawer there was ANOTHER bag of hot cheetos! Then it hit me... I knew why Doug had made the bed!!!! I went over to my pillow and squished down with my hand and... I found ANOTHER bag of hot cheetos!! hahaha. Soo.. I'm sure you can guess what I've been eating as a snack the past week, and I feel super gross, but loved at the same time! :)
