Valentine's Day

Jon is always full of surprises. And I shouldn't be surprised when he surprises me, however I always am.

One reason I shouldn't be surprised is the simple fact that most of Jon's surprises revolve around dates. The date of our first date, kiss, engagement, and wedding, etc. It can also fall on the monthiversary of all of these dates.

I had, however, underestimated his celebrations of "normal" holidays - especially Valentine's day. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that this was not a day we celebrated. I have no idea why - I just did.

Needless to say, now the Valentine's Day of 2012 is the day Jon knocked it out of the park - and Sara forgot!

I had had a rough day before, so waking up that morning was not something I was particularly looking forward to. Stumbling around getting ready for work, I went to the kitchen to make my lunch or something. Apparently Jon got up as well, because when I returned to the bedroom there was a card and a small box on the bed!!

I was so surprised!

I LOVE CARDS!!!!!!!!
(and Jon of course....)

The card was beautiful and made me cry. I stared at the box awhile asking "What is it?" [I still don't know why I do this everytime he gives me something, however he always looks at me the same way like "well - open it silly!"] Once I opened it I saw a beautiful pair of sparkly studs. Not real diamonds, thanks goodness! (I"m scared I'd loose them). A beautiful pair of earrings to make a girl proud.

That night we went to see "The Artist" - which I HIGHLY recommend seeing in theaters. Loved it. A perfect movie for a Valentines Day, with mostly French actors (and producers?) to boot. Not that you could hear their accents though...

And tonight - to boot- he made dinner :)

Love this man.

I knew you'd miss us!

So recently we've been getting a steady trickle of family and friends mentioning how much they miss the blog. Thanks guys! In traditional fashion here's some basic things going on with us:

Jon is loving work. and it's growing
We're still scouting out areas to live. Any thoughts on Reisterstown or the suburbs of Baltimore?
We recently went to Wegmans and were WAY impressed by the prices there. It's awesome.

That's it for now :o) Thanks for missing us!
