Valentines Day..or week was nice =)

We started Valentines day a little bit early. We took advantage of having Saturday off the weekend before and we started the day with lunch at Annies Cafe on Congress. Really good food. Not badly priced, from there...off to get some coffee, I think i'm turning Greg into a coffee addict!! And that's where I dragged Greg to the mall, Torrid was having underwear on sale, 5 pairs for $25!! Normally $8 a pair, that was a sale I didn't want to miss...especially when you factor in employee discount! But I also bought some lingerie and a cute shirt for going out that night. I was excited!!

We made our way to a bike shop in downtown. Austin is huge on Biking because of Lance Armstrong and when the weather gets warmer, Greg and I want to take that up as a hobby. So we went into this nice shop, holy cow. The cheapest bike was like $900!! ouch! but you get what you pay for. For now, I think being novices, we need to hit up walmart prices.

Since we were near SoCo, we decided to go to Stag, which is a mens clothing shop and I just picked up Greg's Vday gift there. He wants to start dressing up more, so I got him a few cute trendy shirts..$70..Its love and oh well. Since I was buying him his gift and not waiting, we went over to Target to get some things for the house and he bought me my wii active!!! (BTW,i love it!) oooh, the day didn't stop there! We went to Cannoli Joes..which is the most evil restaurant there is! Italian food..buffet style. But we were good and had our salad to start and didn't exceed one dinner plate. For an italian place, they had some good fish.

The night had to end at Trudys where we had a few drinks and glad we had such a beautiful day together...it still brings a smile to my face thinking about it.

--------------------------------------------------------
On Thursday I baked cupcakes for Greg. I wasn't sure if I would be able to get him a nice gift, so I bought the mix weeks ago and decided that thursday would be my only chance to bake them without him around..bad mistake. Officially no more treats in our house..or so we think...

--------------------------------------------------------
We decided to celebrate valentines day on Saturday night instead of Sunday. He had school the next day. I had to work that day from 1 - 5 (I was told I'm one of the best sellers and it was going to be busy. No joke! It did not quit the whole time I was at work and yay to me, I sold over $3000!!! Boo Yah! Hahahaha. Although it did make me tired...I still had to go home, change into my cute dress and we had tickets to the movies at 6:30!!

When I was on my way home, Greg called me and told me he had surprise for me. I get home, and he had purchased us a griddle, I always told that I would prefer gifts for our house, but the Dooney and Burke purse for christmas was great too!

We made it though and the movie "Valentines Day"...save your money. It is cute, but very predictable. I wasn't that impressed...But it was more of a time killer until we could make it to a seafood place called Perlas. Wow. great food, Expensive! Our bill was over 100 and we only had a drink a piece....

The night didn't end there, but lets keep this PG. It was a good day =)

------------------------------------------
Happy St. Valentines Day!
We wake up together and decide to use our new griddle and cook breakfast...which afterwards he gave me my card for Vday...awww, yes it made me cry, and later I gave him his which in return he had to come up to me and give me a hug...

Although I hung out with Nancy later and I brought her a cupcake, Valentines day was the best it ever could be.

**Final Thoughts**
I've seen that finding love is not an easy thing at all. And finding TRUE love is even harder. I wasn't looking for him and he wasn't looking for me, but we found each other and fell from day one and we still haven't stopped falling. Loving each other isn't easy but I look at him and know it's meant to be.

I hope everyone enjoyed their day just as much as I did.
