The Loveliest day of love I've ever had

This valentines day was the best of my ENTIRE life! It was so great, which was kind of a surprise because I was not expecting it to be anything special. And here's why.. Matt has been SO busy! Like wake up early, head off to school and work, come home and immediately hit the homework, and do it until its late and he has to go to bed so he can do it the next day. Its been super and crazy and hard on both of us, but he is such a good sport about it. So here I was thinking he probably not even have time to get me anything let alone have a date.. and I was ok with it because he works so hard and I know how much stress it puts on him to take much time off. And to add to all of this he had a class trip that was planned for Valentines day. He would leave by 8 in the morning and not get back till almost 9 that night. So it was looking like I'd get to spend v-day alone.. But we decided that, that was simply unacceptable so he started trying to find out if I could come with them. It wasn't looking to good, but a day before they left his teacher said there was an empty seat on the bus and so I could come!! I was happy, but also nervous because I haven't been feeling to great lately.. BUT this school trip was a trip to an awesome ghost town and they would be taking pictures ALL DAY! I LOVE photography and so I was really hoping I would feel good enough to walk around all day, and if not I really didn't know if there would be a place for me to sit around. Usually I have to take a nap in the afternoons cause I get SO tired. So I was a little nervous about that.. So Valentines day comes. We get up early (something I have a hard time with these days) and get all ready to go. so far so good. And then the first great thing of the day happens.. Matt has to run up to campus so as I'm eating breakfast he leaves just to come back in a few minutes later with flowers! And Nutella and jiff's new version of nutella and vanilla wafers! How sweet! He had his mom pick them up for me since he couldn't and then hid them at his cousin's who lives next door. That guy is just always full of surprises and I love it! :) So we head off to the bus. I was a little nervous because it was a 2 hour drive and I usually have to pee more often then that (tmi? haha) But I made it just fine! First success of the day! We made it to the ghost town (with only one really scary part where the bus almost rolled into a ditch.. no big deal) and it was SO awesome! coolest place ever! We took pictures all day to our hearts content and I felt GREAT! (which is a little strange, what a blessing!) It was so fun they had models all dressed up in western cloths and everything. I had a blast!! The weather was supposed to be snowy and cold, but instead it was super nice for the most part. They even provided an awesome meal! So basically instead of being alone on valentines day we got to spend the whole day together! which is always so much fun. We had lots of fun and took lots of cool pictures (matt even won a prize for his pictures!) So there it is.. the story of my favorite valentines ever. It was SO nice to get a day away from the house and to feel good and spend it with my husband! I couldn't have asked for more :)
